The best thing we shared today

Ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl, we asked our colleagues at The Journal and The Daily Edge what they know about American Football. Very little, it seems.

On the record

We are going over to Australia/New Zealand to play good cricket against the big boys and it’s another great opportunity for us as players to show what we’re capable of.

The Ireland cricket team departed for the World Cup today and Irish all-rounder Kevin O’Brien told The42‘s Ryan Bailey that they’re keen to make a statement once again.

Where we were today

Our man Murray Kinsella headed for Musgrave Park in Cork, where Sean O’Brien is making his long-awaited return for the Ireland Wolfhounds’ meeting with England Saxons.
