Saint Patrick's Day Test

The Saint Patrick's Day Test (also known as the Donnybrook Cup) is an international rugby league football match played between the United States and Ireland A. The game is usually held on or around March 17 to coincide with Saint Patrick's Day. In 2020 the first two fixtures were regraded to full international status when the Ireland A teams for those two games were upgraded to senior national status, due to the similarity of the squads involved in those games, the Scotland fixture of 1995 and the Emerging Nations World Cup of 1995 (with the Scotland game also afforded full international status).[1]

gollark: Which not everyone actually needs to do. Proofs, i mean.
gollark: I can *kind of* remember the quadratic formula... x=(plus/minus root(b²-4ac) - b) / 2a, or something like that... but it's not much use.
gollark: Maybe they just don't care about memorizing random maths things?
gollark: ···
gollark: It saves time.
