Wow, we're so lucky to have

as our Minister for Sport. In fairness, he was the man who went to Rio to sort out Pat Hickey in 2016. Now he's sorting out the Kearney's in the same knowledgeable fashion 😁😁😁

Dara, the chairman of Bord Fáilte issued a similar statement following his ill advised holiday in Italy and was forced to resign as Minister Catherine Martin deemed his position untenable. Why shouldn't you do likewise during the most distressing health crisis in living memory?
@vanzyl_dan
Hi Dan, not sure what it will mean this time tomorrow but Ireland are certainly in the All Blacks' heads. Blacks are talking about revenge (how often have you heard that from New Zealand) and Irish photographers spying on their training sessions 😳
They're definitely spooked 👻
This is a fantastic act of sporting solidarity by

John Hume was a great Irishman, he ranks up there alongside Tone, O'Connell, Parnell, Pearse and Collins in the pantheon of outstanding Irishmen. May he rest in peace...

Ah, so sad to hear that George Furlong has passed away, a lovely man who was well liked throughout rugby. He was a great ambassador for

MU Barnhall have with great regret heard of the passing of our former President and Youth CoOrdinator George Furlong after a long illness. May He Rest In Peace. Prayers are with his family at this time.
@SeanOBrien1987
Hey Sean, congratulations on your retirement from playing and best of luck in the next phase of your life. You're one of life's good guys, looking forward to bumping into you soon at a game or for a pint. Or even seeing you togged out for

Great idea but any chance the branded teams can have their city/province/area added to their title, similar to USA sports franchises, so that we can more easily identify with them? How many people outside of South Africa can say where each of their four teams are located?

Another frustrating morning of delay & disruption for passengers of 6:35 who are paying big annual fares. Standing room only on 6:46, which left Kildare at 6:53. It's now stopping at every station to Heuston. Another morning arriving late for work. Is

Paul, our great game prides itself on accepting the decision of the referee. Rassie's public critique destroys that, and if it's not sanctioned it will make referee recruitment far more difficult.
All club games in

have been called off today due to a combination of unplayable pitches and unsafe driving conditions caused by the current snow storm.
Some games have been rescheduled for tomorrow Monday 19th Mar at 3:00... 1/2

Truly appalling Evan that something as mindlessly violent as this horrific homophobic attack on you should happen in Ireland in 2022. I hope you make a complete & swift recovery. I hope the perpetrators are caught & punished. And you are back soon playing rugby with

Last night a stranger called me a faggot before beating the shit out of me. He left me with a fractured eye socket, 2 fractures in my ankle, a dislocation in my ankle & some other minor injuries. We’ve come a long way but still have such a long way to go in terms of equality.
