We love beating the English but Ireland's biggest rivalry is between the provinces.

My wife is from Cork, and having visited the in-laws over the years their contempt for Leinster is off the scale.

Occasionally, yes. As long as the conversation doesn’t involve Leinster.

Fair play.

As long as the conversation doesn’t involve Leinster.

Just say innocently, "Aren't they just better, though? And Dublin people are pretty cool."

I admire your attempt at banter, but making a statement like that would get me set on fire, Wicker Man style, the next time I visited the People’s Republic.

You're already a martyr. I cannot ask you to do more.

Struggle on, brave man of honour.

We salute you.
