I have a lot of Irish ancestry in my family so I have a bit of a link back to the Emerald Isle. 

That explains a few things then

Yep, it and will be a better watch than a load of self obsessed multi millionaires being fawned over. 

Probably.

I doubt many of the general sports-viewing public will agree with you though. 

[DaneH]

Hope Jamaica can give it a good crack! Can't see them winning though!

Makinson is the best winger in the world. I would assume even you know this now.

[Tommygilf]

Excited for this one, hopefully a close game with a good atmosphere

I’m hoping the local Caribbean community are out with the catering today at Headingley, some Jamaican food stands would be nice.

I'd like to see mix of local stews, an Irish cow foot stew would be most grand

Some great social media content by the Irish during the week. They are putting Ronan Michael in front of the camera as much as possible, seeing as he is the sole Irish accent in the squad. 

I see however that he is the 18th name appearing on their 19-man squad list. Will be bitterly disappointing if he does not get some match time.

Yeah, but they're in squad number order.

Wait and see ...........

As I suspected. Token Irish accent. Chopped. 

[Futtocks]

Ellery doesn't mind talking to the media these days, I see.

[Just Browny]

I do love Headingley. I wonder if they have ever considered putting a roof on the terracing behind the sticks?

Fairly sure this is the most diverse RL crowd I have ever been a part of, don't think it is going to be a big one though.

[Northern Eel]

Just getting it out there before the game, so we can enjoy the rugby. 

There's nobody there, someone has dared to bring a musical instrument, the commentator is a baritone and not a tenor, the camera angle is wrong, I can't hear the pre-match recitation of the inclusion poem, the Irish flag is the wrong one and the cow foot stew had sold out before most folk even got there.

You're doing God's work.

[Damien]

Loved that Jamaican report.

[BD20Cougar]

I hate to be negative about attendances but this game was shown as having low availability on the ticket website. Dread to think what the crowds will be like for the medium/high availability matches.

[Archie Gordon]

Think Ireland will put on a show here. 

[Futtocks]

Hoping Jamaica aren't too badly beaten, but pretty excited to see what this Irish team can do.
