    It's just as much a friendly match as a friendly game in soccer.
    Both contribute to world rankings but that's about it.

    It was an international test match.

    So basically a friendly.

    To be fair, Dundalk did win the Champions League.

    Least us LOI fans follow our teams through good and bad.

    Munster and Leinster can barely fill half their stadiums these days! 5 years ago when they were both good tickets were like gold dust

    Don't get me started on the Leinster people who supported Munster until Leinster became good

    Oh I do. I totally understand the rugger snobbery of "test" matches. They are the equivalent of friendlies, as much as the rugger crowd hate to accept that. It's actually funny. A 1-1-27 record against New Zealand and the match is being celebrated like they won the world cup, champions league and Nobel peace prize all rolled into one. :D

    It's hardly snobbery to point out it was a glorified friendly. The rugger crowd claiming it is so much more IS snobbery.

    They are NOT the equivalent of friendlies. The concept of Friendlies does not exist in international rugby. Go read up on it. Can't be bothered educating you.

    Very slow and boring documentary, it was a stunning win over there with 14 men, Joe Schmidt is really some man, he is getting this group to do things no other Irish team have done.

    I would love to see a docu on Dundalk this year, another exceptional team.

    RTE wouldn't even pay for the rights to show Dundalks qualifiers V FH or BATE (BT/Eir only have rights from 3rd qualifying round onwards)

    They are hardly gonna do a documentary on Dundalk.

    Plus if we qualify for last 32 of Europa League, it would be pointless in doing it until after we are out/win it.

    Eir would be your best bet

    And I suppose the 10,000+ fans Dundalk brought to the Aviva last Sunday will all pack in to Oriel next March will they?

    To be fair, when they were making the documentary they had no idea how the test series would fair out. Up until the third match it was in the balance and considering all the injuries Ireland had, to have won 2-1 would have been a series acheivement.

    So they were left with this documentary of a lost series but after Ireland's win last week, there would have been a huge demand for RTE to show it.
