The piltes world cup in on next year in Malaysia !


More people are involved in fishing than any other sport in the Uk. BTW.


There are more Polish speakers in Ireland than native Irish speakers - should the have their own Polish Gaelteacht ?

Lies,Damned lies and statistics !

Ireland have beaten the Rugby World Cup finalists in the past year - are we de-facto world champs until the weekend ?

Of course the stats on it don't tie up with other sources of stats:
The picture is similar in the adult sport, while there are just under 100,000 adults playing in teams affiliated to the RFU.

A recent Sport England survey found that a total 267,817 people are playing rugby union at least once a month, embracing a broader scope than the RFU's official figures.


From http://www.irb.com/unions/union=11000002/index.html

Number Of Clubs:
1900
Number Of Registered Players:
716505
Number of Referees:
6792
Pre-teen Male Players:
420439
Pre-teen Female Player:
29000
Teen Male Player:
89251
Teen Female Player:
21361
Senior Male Player:
147944
Senior Female Player:
8510
Total Male Player:
657634
Total Female Player:
58871



And of course, that reports on the differences between two sports, one of which has been professional for almost 10 times longer than the other and isn't the national sport in the UK


But yeah, stick to the headline about women stretching beating one of the biggest sports in the UK...

Sorry I had the POLbot function turned on.

It was either that or something about physicality at the breakdown.

Pilates..the perfect activity for the SFI...

Think of all the fun ye could have with all those Pelvic shift forward movements, the constant rotation, and the physicality at the Rolldowns...

it's cherry picking to be honest isn't it, would any sane Male or FRAP even consider Pilates a sport? they might as well have said Sudoko
