Interesting to see where all the Ladies Rugby team hail from.

Mind you - if it were the GAA banning the use of a similar photo, I've no doubt there'd be a whole lot more made of it. In Fact, we'd never hear the end of it.

You can be sure as hell plenty of bigots on After Hours would be rubbing their hands and using it as an excuse to vent the normal poison about the GAA they've done in the past.
Bit of a storm in a tea cup though. Its not clear if the photo wasn't used because it were GAA jerseys or at the sponsors request.

I can't see the sponsors (AON Insurance) requesting it not be publicised due to the likes of a meat processing factory, a dairy company and a now defunct telecommunications company.
Bit petty from the IRFU if they did insist on it not being published.

On reflection this doesn't have much to do with GAA so I'm locking this thread.
