READ MORE: Ireland v New Zealand date, time, venue and ticket information for Rugby World Cup quarter-final"I hope Ireland win the Rugby World Cup. That’s not a north versus south thing. It’s about the fans. It’s about the men and women who spend their money and their souls and who are treated with disdain by the balding buffoons who run most of the sporting world."
"Some commentators actually criticised the Ireland team for performing ‘a lap of honour’ after they beat South Africa in the opening match. What shrivelled spirits. Could they not see the love flowing between the players and their fans? Could they not see what was really at the big, green beating heart of it all."
