Two years away and I'm excited already. Great news for the borough, now let's see if we can repay the faith shown in us by the RFL and turn up in numbers.

Exactly.
I was at the Ireland v Samoa game in Parramatta in 2008 and that was great day out, game and result.

He ate lots of pies
And he gouged Wires' eyes
Whilst using a technique like Spock.

If they have any sense they'll play the Ireland v Aussie game in Limerick. I was speaking to some of the Aussie fans last week and they had enjoyed their visit to Ireland in the week before the Four Nations Final.

True but I'm convinced it'll be the Fiji v Ireland game - which is a shame because thats a game I'd like to see (basically a Quarter Final eliminator). PNG v Samoa another game I hope is played in our region.

We spoke about it towards the end of the season. What we'll do is put a tenner away at each home game for the 2012 and 2013 seasons and then have a good long weekend in Limerick.

Durty Nellys used to be a good night, just a few miles out from the centre of Limerick.
