I can honestly say I've sat beside each one of these people at a rugby match.

It's a running joke in Irish rugby circles that there is a certain stereotype that supports each of the provinces. In Munster, we have the aggressive, uncultured fan who admires "legends", and holds a deep-seeded hatred for Wayne Barnes and Romain Poite. The Leinster stereotype sees rugby as a social opportunity, the Ulster fan complains about their lack of recognition, while the Connacht fan is just glad to see one of their own in a green shirt. Well, this video by Gavin Greene shows just what happens when the four meet for a pint to watch the national team play. As far as we're concerned, he's nailed it.
