S Donal Lenihan: Can we park the stadium pints during games? It would drive you to drink
It drives fans ballistic to be constantly interrupted, having to stand up to facilitate people coming in and out on a constant basis with drink in their hand I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to contain myself.

Andrew Porter with blood pouring down his face 9/3/2024

Jack Crowley 23/2/2024
S Donal Lenihan: Wales will target Ireland at source. It's a big ask, even for Gatty
Gatland knows how to extract the best from his players but will need far more than emotion and playing the underdog card to win today. That will only get you so far.

Dan Sheehan is tackled by Stephen Varney just short of the try line 11/2/2024
S Donal Lenihan: Twickenham will be tough but are Scotland the biggest threat to an Ireland grand slam?
