I chuckled when I heard the topic of conversation between two Ireland rugby players. Not concerned with the Springboks or Argentina, it seems Tadhg Furlong and Darren Sweetnam have been whiling away their time comparing farming systems. Campile, Co Wexford, man Furlong describes himself as a “humble farmer” compared to former Cork hurler Sweetnam, whose family have an 8,000-pig unit in Dunmanway, west Cork.
