WHEN HE’S NOT cavorting with Marilyn, it seems John Palmer is humming the Fields of Athenry to himself and wondering what the future holds for Munster now that ROG has retired and Rob Penney continues to impose his new style on the southern province.

With most of world rugby’s eyes trained upon Australia these days, Danagher got to Tweeting actor Shane Withington about the Lions series and, well, one thing led to another and before you could say ‘flaming galah’ he had donned the venerable red jersey sent his way.
However, Conor Murray or no Conor Murray, Withington has not been swayed from his affection for the green and gold and he will roar on the Wallabies from within his Munster jersey tomorrow.

And Boris Johnson supports London GAA.
To the majority most people care as much about this as they do about who wins the county cricket in England.
BTW the latter would actually be a biger sports news story.
