Who do these Irish rugby players resemble more: Swedes or Northern Italians?

[Tooting Carmen]

They are Munster from the South of Ireland - a team that has been highly successful both in the Celtic League and the European Cup.

N.B. I cannot seem to copy the photos, so I have posted the link instead. Furthermore, Tyler Bylendaal is Australian, Jean Kleyn and CJ Stander are South African, Simon Zebo is half-Martiniquais and Francis Saili is Kiwi.

[EL_BARBARO]

None of them.

Anybody else?

[Sikeliot]

Swedes, but barely.

[Styrian Mujo]

A unique Irish look...they can't really be compard to either but I'm going to have to with Swedes.

[The Blade]

Most are hardcore Brit faces but if I have to pick - Swedes.

[caviezel]

they certainly don't look afro-colombian except for two maybe.

They don't look like either. The would all pass as Australian but as a group in Europe I think they are obviously British Isles.

In my opinion, they look more like Swedes, but not by much.

Australia is a country full of immigrants like the US and Canada. I think anyone can pass in Australia.

Yes and no. There aren't many Latin Americans (of any race) or Black Africans in Australia, are there?

Well except for blacks and Hispanics. Though I think the Hispanic community there is growing. But I could be wrong though.

I'm talking about the older Australian stock who still make up the majority of the population like these AFL players.

Oh okay. Thanks for informing me!

I think at least half of them in North italy. not only their pigmentation but also the fact that they look too "meso-cephalic" for Sweden.

With the exception of non-White ones, I'd say Swedish, not north Italians!

No true. Some of them actually can pass as Swedish or Norwegian but won't be typical. Not all Scandinavian have light blond hair(typical Swedish/Norwegian) either.

Today, Munster lost in Dublin 10-26 to Saracens, who are seeking a second European Cup in a row.
