"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Ireland by a mile (mainly thanks to Aussie cast off Nucifora).
Even more so when you consider it's only the 5th most popular sport. Similar to Aus but done way better!
"The Sport Ireland survey also canvassed how many students had attended a match as a spectator or supporter in the last 12 months. The top five sports were Gaelic football (35%), soccer (35%), basketball (25%), hurling (24%) and rugby (22%)"

Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
Often wonder, does that mean if David Nucifora went to Scotland instead, then they would be contenders instead of Ireland? Or Italy? Or Wales? etc
Japan and the Pacific Islands for Aussie Super 9's!
Let's have one of these in WA! Click this link: Saitama Super Arena - New Perth Stadium?
Finally got time (has to be some upside to being crook, yeah?) to watching the original thread video.
Is interesting stuff with merit to all of his points, however, probably another 20 minutes of "yeah, but" to explore on each nations pros and cons as applied to another market.
