Ireland paying to play for the country; new rugby season at the corner of the street

The Irish women's hockey team will cross the next leg of its historic World Cup trip tomorrow night, when it will meet India in the quarterfinals in London. The Asians swept Italy to Lee Valley Stadium with a complete 3-0 win to establish the last eight clashes with Ireland that will take place at 6 pm on the order of BT Sport. However, despite the heroism of Ireland the players are still facing a difficult battle with players forced to pay a fee of € 550 each year to represent their country as reported by Johnny Watterson. U-21 teams and school teams are also asked to pay to play in Ireland. It is euphemistically termed self-financing and goes up to the U-16 level

Hold on, the new rugby season is just around the corner. With the launch of Pro14 at the end of the month, the provinces are putting order in their respective homes and John O. Sullivan led the rule on the ins and outs . "Leinster's record in the Champions Cup and Guinness Pro14 is now a fourth star on a jersey and a chapter in history books, as the new season really begins at the end of the month," he writes.
