[QUOTE="SimonG, post: 652994, member: 71048"] So Rory will represent Ireland in 2016 then. [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/golf/27906964[/url] Tbh I'm quite surprised. Rory is from a mixed background so was always gonna be torn, but he's from quite a unionist area in Holywood so that's where I expected his affiliation to be. Can see the ***** hitting the fan over this one! In the same boat I'd have represented Ireland obviously though I do support the UK athletes also....Mo Farrahs wins were right up there as my favourite moments in the London games. Easy decision for me though...for Rory it's a different story. While he has represented Ireland as an amateur (golf is run on an all Ireland basis), this is a different matter. Just hope Rory won't be castigated by his homeplace or the unionist community. [/QUOTE]
