Where We Were Today

Sean Farrell and Murray Kinsella were at the Ireland camp in Carton House, Emma Duffy was at a media event in Croke Park ahead of the camogie club All-Ireland finals, and Ryan Bailey was at the Ireland women’s rugby press conference.

On The Record

Joe Schmidt was asked about Paddy Jackson’s reaction to the news that Jonathan Sexton was starting ahead of him:

He took it with a smile and said: ‘I’ll be ready when you need me off the bench”

“Based on how things have gone in the past, we’ll probably see both players in some positions at some stage in the game.We know it’s going to be physical. it doesn’t matter who you play, it’s going to be physical.”
