According to James McIlroy, you're either Irish or you're British (for those from NI), so this lot doesn't belong, as they've represented the UK.
You could take out Cragg as well seeing as he's South African.
Think James was running for the Republic at the time and would be included.
Whats his chances in the Commonwealths 800m this time?

No, Cragg represents Ireland.
McIlroy must have a decent chance of a medal. He seems to be getting his confidence back, bit by bit.
He may represent Ireland - he's not Irish
And Cragg has represnted South Africa at junior level..
add in David Campbell,Alistair Cragg,Thomas Chamney,Liam Reale and David Mc Carthy to that list.
