not near the same. if you are training 20 hours a week and paid to do so then you are a professional athlete. didnt think that that would need to be explained to people.

bringing up order of malta and paramedics shows you havent a clue. do you know what order of malta can do compared to a paramedic?
no as if you did you wouldnt have brought them into this discussion."
GAA players train nearly the same amount of time and they get expenses..are they professional so? No because they have full time jobs also which is the same as the women rugby yes."
The 7s players on the womens 15s side are fully professional and there is others who are at moment considering theyre development officers with provinces and heyond that are pro athletes.

Going back to order of malta and paramedics. Very different. Paramedics are a protected title and very different...

But you said they are professional?? That is obviously untrue. Why do you say things that are fabrications?? You have been found out badly and as they say you should put aside the spade and stop digging my dear man

Of course they're different. You've proved your own point there isn't she.

Provide us with the numbers please. How many players are on the Irish women's rugby squad? How many of those players are sevens players? Are those sevens players contractually required to also act as games promotions officers? Apart from the sevens players how many players on the Irish women's rugby panel are "pro athletes" because they work as games promotion officers in the provinces? Are those players you assert are games promotion officers in the provinces paid to play for the Irish women's rugby team? If they are not then they are amateur players. The Irish women's rugby squad have been described by our rugby correspondents as being amateur. Prove them wrong by finally supplying the relevant information to substantiate your claim.

Judging by this report, you'd wonder about how "elite" LOI is!! Imagine the outcry in the media if this was an inter-county GAA team. It would keep Joe Duffy busy for a month.
