@alexshawsport @LeinsterRoyalty Andrew Smith has been very impressive from St Michaels and Jack Crowley has been impressive although admittedly I have only seen the games played in Cork live and a few others on tv

@LeinsterRoyalty Just my perception and I may be wrong on this, but feels like the real creme de la creme of St Michael's a bit too old/bit too young for this list at the moment? Who would you have had in there?

Took a stab at ranking the top 50 U20 players in the world right now. Plenty to disagree with in there, so rev up your sporting outrage engines. rugbypass.com/news/the-top-5…

From tomorrow GPs can order tests for #COVID19 electronically through their IT system. We have also enhanced the capacity for testing. Anyone experiencing normal cold and flu-like symptoms or if you believe you may have been in contact with #COVID19 please self-isolate.

@iandonald_psych Never assume Ian

2. This all assumes I'm correct in what I think the govt are doing and why. I could be wrong - and wouldn't be surprised. But it looks to me like. . .

1. The govt strategy on #Coronavirus is more refined than those used in other countries and potentially very effective. But it is also riskier and based on a number of assumptions. They need to be correct, and the measures they introduce need to work when they are supposed to.

In these days of anxiety, I wanted to find a way to continue to share some of the music that gives me comfort. The first of my #SongsOfComfort: Dvořák – "Going Home” Stay safe.

@JadedCreative Utterly beautiful

“No play dates, no playgrounds, no parties, no visits to grandparents.” Dr Anne Marie McLaughlin at St James Hospital in Dublin appeals to parents to limit their children’s social interactions to stop #Covid19 spread: “this is not school holidays” @rtenews

I love both Ireland and England but sometimes there are reminders that there's a greater sense of community - and kindness - in our smaller country. The difference between these two Mail headlines is an example - one designed to instil fear, the other capturing the national mood

@Redpainter1 Dam, irrefutable evidence

Would it be pushing it to hope we could cancel the parade every year? #StPatricksDayParade

When they can’t make the first XV, some players hit the gym. Some work on their skills. Some go to refind their confidence. Matthew Jalibert heads to a sink and bleaches his hair. I love this France team.

@CianTracey1 Looks like a referring performance where the intensity of the contest is well ahead of what he is used to and he is uncertain, indecisive and missing a lot

How is that not a yellow card?! 🤔 Bizarre.

@mrjamesob I had mine with an equally patriotic pain au chocolat

Had a delicious patriotic coffee.

@Murray_Kinsella As an noteworthy aside, it’s fantastic to see just how much ireland has developed at the 7s game. As you say SA became champions subsequently

Timing is everything. 1. Ireland 7s have just 9 seconds remaining. 2. Billy Dardis passes backwards to Terry Kennedy. 3. Kennedy runs downfield, looking to eat up seconds. 4. Kicks into touch but literally a second early. South Africa score from the lineout and *draw.

@veroniquelandew @guardian_sport @robkitson Along with Jean Claude Skrela and Jean Pierre Bastiat- what an amazing back row they were

@guardian_sport @robkitson I think the paywall will be detrimental for fans to enjoy International Rugby games far away from their homes. I recall as a young girl, on a rainy Saturday afternoon watching 5 Nations on a black& white TV at my grandmother & being mesmerized by the talented Jean Pierre Rives...

Six Nations paywall would cut cord to thousands of fans rugby depends on theguardian.com/sport/blog/202… By @robkitson
