Since the rugby union world cup began this evening, here is a rugby ball incorporating the flags of all 20 nations competing the finals. For the sharp-eyed observer that doesn't recognised the one bottom and slightly left, it is of the Irish Rugby Football Union. Rugby union is an all-Ireland sport, so neither the flag of the Irish Republic nor the union flag of Northern Ireland is appropriate. Good luck to all the teams!
