The Morning Score: Thursday

Limerick win an absolute epic of an U-21 decider in Munster – and everything else you should know before you get to work.

1. #THRILLER Limerick won an instant classic of a Bord Gáis Energy Munster U-21 hurling final last night against Cork on an incredible scoreline of 4-20 to 1-27 after extra-time.

2. COMING TO AMERICA Rory McIlroy last night revealed he is looking for a house in Florida and is planning on re-joining the American Tour.

Ahead of the  WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio, McIlroy said: “I spoke to a couple of the guys from the PGA Tour today about it. I am leaning towards taking my card up again, definitely.

3. #RWC World Cup hopefuls Jerry Flannery, Rob Kearney and Tomás O’Leary could make their return to international action this weekend when Declan Kidney names his side today for the first World Cup warm-up game against Scotland in Edinburgh.

We’ll have more as it happens.

4. #EUROPA LEAGUE Both St Pat’s and Sligo Rovers are facing into European action tonight but the bonus dispute at Richmond Park has rumbled on.

Saints officials and players will resume negotiations this morning.

5. #GOING VIRAL If it’s Thursday – and it is according to my novelty underwear – it’s YouYube round-up day.
