Both disliked by us English, me I'd marginally prefer the Oirish to win and then be humiliated in S.A next year.

Probably Ireland, so we can laugh at them, when they go out in the group stages in the World Cup.

Nothing against either team, but I'd like to see the Irish go through.

Which one has the most genuine players that are either French or Irish by birthright and not by some obscure rule about relatives and ancestors.

Ancestors is "birthright" - and indeed the only legal birthright to Irish citizenship, being born here means nothing - in Irish law, not obscure. Ditto France I'd assume.

And I've no idea, as many of the "non-French" sounding French players likely were born there.

It is an acknowledged fact that Jack Charlton started by playing players whose grandmothers etc distance removed made them elligible France have done the same with African colonies that were once under French rule. We have done the same in cricket with South Africans especially but does that make it right.
