Former Tiger plays GAA!
From the Irish Independent:
Miller set for GAA comeback
FORMER Irish and Lions rugby star Eric Miller is in line to make a return to GAA after holding talks with former club Ballyboden St Enda's.
The Leinster flanker retired from competitive rugby at the end of last season, but hinted at the time that his love of sport mighn't keep him away too long.
"Hopefully, I'n not finished with sport, I'll play a bit of Gaelic football and go back to the club," said the 48-times capped Miller shortly after his retirement.
Miller, who recently got married, won a Dublin under-21 championship in the mid-nineties with the South Dublin club.

It was Brian O'Driscoll's first love, he played it before rugby.
Good to see Eric involved in some sport or another, he's a talented athlete.
Had he originally stayed with the GAA - he would have been a big star - bigger than what rugby made him I reckon....

hurilng is a much better sport to watch. more exciting, and is by far the most skillful sport in the world. amazing sport. cork are the best at it too i might add!!
i dont think losing so many players from GAA to other sports played a big part in the decision. there were much more significant issues than that. but some of the very old traditional GAA families would be bitter about it.

Hurling is a very skillful sport, I ain't a huge fan though, I do much prefer GAA.
Hey Orla, where's the nearest B&B in Cork City ?
Need to check out places for the match in Aug.
Ta!
