2. Eh, he’s called ‘Drico’? Not BOD

3. You’re not taking the piss when you ask, “who’s up for a few Heinos in Kielys?

Because all ye Leinster lads are intensely proud of your secondary school – ‘We’re from Michael’s and we’re better than you’, ‘You can’t knock The Rock’ etc. – It’s just kinda weird to the rest of us.

6. You watch the game with ‘the goys’, not the ‘ledz’, ‘lads’ or ‘laawds’.

7. You sometimes imagine RDS / Aviva Stadium Tannoy man Bob Conway narrating your life
