Yes. Start chiselling. But where to put such a spectacular monument? There have been so many greats and not so greats. Maybe a painting with a crowd scene with D'Arcy, O'Kelly, Dempsey, Wright, Le Roux and Felipe with a few obscure characters like Knoop and that pizza loving Argentine prop Juan Gomez.

If you did our own Last Supper, you'd have Leo as Jesus, surrounded by:

BOD, Sexton, Nacewa, Heaslip, SOB, Jennings, Contepomi, Rob Kearney, Hickie, Horgan, D'Arcy and Healy.

Or you could leave out one of the above and include Conway or Niall Ronan as Judas (purely a joke, no offence meant).

Isa as Iosa. Leo would be more of a St Peter

I suppose that just leaves ROG as Mary Magdalene so.
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Judas? He's kind of the second most important character in that scene.
Peter isn't a great choice for someone important (he denied Jesus three times that night and went on to be completely sidelined in western Christianity in favour of Paul, who never met Jesus but knew in his heart what Jesus really meant, even if he never got around to saying it or if Jesus's friends said he really didn't mean that)

Exactly. A mural in the Laighin Out would be appropriate.

Doubt it but it does raise the question as to who should be Thomas.

The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.
