According to the bbc there are 132 irish qualified professional rugby players. Do people think this number is right? I would have thought there was more IQ profesionals around but its interesting to see

Seems about right to me. Probably doesn't include academy players and the like. There aren't actually that many IQ players playing abroad.

I thought the 132 IQ in the title was about intelligence.

England supporters, cover your eyes at the profligate waste of it all.

I would think there are actually a few more. Given there are 30 or so at each of the 4 provinces plus another 30+ in England. there are 6 or 7 at Doncaster alone. Another 5 or 6 at Rotherham.
34 Leinster + Academy players
42 Munster + Academy
32 Ulster +
31 Connacht +
140 + Academies + 25 / 30 in G.B.

Have you subtracted the 20 + NIQ out of the Irish province numbers?


Edit: there's some seriously wonky statistics in that article.

No. I didn't count them in the first place. Those numbers are I.Q. squad members, not total squad numbers.
