Rugby and Football at Croke Park in 2007

Sky Sports - The Best Sport Coverage From Around The World
In an historic announcement, The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), The Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) and The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) have confirmed that rugby and soccer internationals will be held at Croke Park in 2007.

This basically revokes Rule 42 - "which bans 'foreign' sports from being played at Croke Park, the headquarters of The GAA".
Landsdowne Road is being redeveloped and should be completed by 2009 when it should be one of the best 50,000 seater stadiums in the world. The seats could have spikes on them, only be big enough for kids and it would still be the best stadium in the world. No other stadium has the best supply of Guinness like Landsdowne road.
