Cork's impact on the success of Munster rugby has been vastly underrated

Anthony Horgan, John Kelly, Ronan O’Gara, Peter Stringer, Mick O’Driscoll and Donnacha O’Callaghan the Leesiders that played their part.

Other big Munster prospects, John Hodnett from Rosscarbery, and Jack Crowley (below) from Bandon, are at UCC and Con respectively. Perhaps it’s time to move Thomond Park to Timoleague!

Unfortunately, the horse has bolted a long time ago on this decision. We will not be seeing an 18,000-seater rugby stadium in Cork anytime soon, even though Cork’s rugby heritage and influence probably warrants it.
