Thanks!

Have any of the Leinster setup taken pay cuts? Or any of the other provinces?

I'm guessing it would need input from the IRFU and Rugby Players Ireland. I'd be disappointed if there hasn't been progress on this yet.

I don’t mind too much it being postponed I just hope it doesn’t get canceled altogether because imagine how the players and the school would feel if it got cancelled, Senior Cup final is more important than the pro14. This is Newbridges first final in decades and imagine if it was canceled? The lad...

Does anyone know if the Senior Cup Final is going ahead on Paddy's Day? I'm guessing not, but can't find anything.
Cheers

It never changed. It has always been the case Edit: If anyone ever says that sports can't discriminate on the basis of nationality, I have two words for them. National team. Yeah I guessed the same principle applied to the provinces. I was just wondering if the EU have it stated in a piece of legis...

Plus, who exactly is going to launch a complaint about it? Oh there's always someone! As t -> infinity the probability that someone complains -> 1. But I'm not too bothered about that.

I'm generally very happy with Second ...

Putting restrictions on the number of French, Italians, English that you can hire...that's kinda against EU labour law, right?

Do the provinces, or sports teams in general, get different treatment to other employers under EU law? Or am I missing something?

Er.., no, Leinster is not owned by the IRFU. Leinster Rugby is one of four Branches who are the members (Owners / Constituents) of the IRFU. ... Thus notionally, the IRFU is "owned by the Clubs", but indirectly through the four Provincial structures. Wow! What a comprehensive answer. I co...

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer. I'm guessing it's registered as a charity? Or else the IRFU owns Leinster, and the IRFU is the charity. I'm asking because I don't want us to end up like Saracens. Or a soccer club. Or anyone else! I'm sure we'll never be bought, bu...
