On the record

Because I’m not ready [to play] for a wee while, I’m just going around and talking to a lot of guys, telling them what they can do to be a bit better in terms of their running lines, in terms of how they can position themselves.
You talk about giving feedback to players, but it’s also giving feedback to coaches. I think Pat’s really good about that, he’s really open to stuff you talk to him about.”

Connacht’s new star signing Mils Muliaina explains to TheScore.ie exactly what his ‘mentoring’ role will involve.

The fixture list

  • The Pro12 is back as Anthony Foley’s Munster take on Edinburgh at 7.35pm in Thomond Park. The Ospreys host Treviso at the same time in Wales.
  • There’s a busy line-up of Airtricity League Premier Division action, with St. Pat’s v Dundalk (7.05pm on RTE Two) the stand-out fixture. Five other fixtures games start at 7.45pm.
  • NFL action returns in the early hours of the morning as the Packers clash with the Seahawks (1.30am).

Showbiz, baby!

Today we bring you an antidote to the usually glitz and glam here.

Showbiz certainly isn’t the term you’d use to describe any of Cian Lynch’s journey. The captain of the Limerick minor hurling team may have missed out on debs celebrations to get where he is, but it’s all worth it.
