'We have only six counties to choose from, the Republic has 32' - Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill on the battle for best soccer talent in Ireland... and why the North are winning

Campbell College is rugby country. Located just a penalty-kick from Stormont in east Belfast , it has churned out a parade of rugby greats from Mike Gibson to World Cup hero Gordon Hamilton – and more recent Ireland internationals like Paddy Wallace and Tom O’Toole. It has serious Hogwarts vibes as well, and if the oval ball wasn’t so dominant, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were more likely to find students playing Quidditch than soccer.
