Ireland: Minotaurs gore Stags, Giants earn vital win

AFI Week 8 brought real movement in the table: six of eight scheduled teams played, while Mavericks-Rebels was postponed. The Minotaurs and Giants both gave themselves more breathing room in a league where every head-to-head result can become playoff currency. For Pigskin Europe, the useful read is that Ireland’s top division is no longer just waiting for the final rounds — the table is already being shaped by which clubs can turn mid-season games into separation.
