SIDELINE CUTS – 19
HARRY’S HEROICS ALL IN VAIN Now is not the time for a major analysis or critique. For personal reasons which should be fairly obvious. Meath’s defeat in Ennis last night is still far too raw.

Worthless victory? Seldom if ever will there have been less fanfare relating to a clash between Leinster and Munster as was the case prior to last night’s PRO14 Rainbow Cup encounter at the RDS.

BLACK CLOUDS, HEADACHES AND BEING AT A CROSSROADS My first proper attempt at a livestream, so please be kind! I know there were a few stumbles and stutters along the way but from my own perspective, the longer I went on the more confident I became. If people don’t think it was too bad it’s […]
