Clonmel is coursing’s Mecca, an annual pilgrimage repeated over the three-day early spring National Coursing Meet at Powerstown Racecourse, but it’s a restricted affair.

Super Tuesday across the pond yesterday in the American Presidential primaries, the day when the best candidates are separated from the rest, from the also-rans; Super Tuesday in Clonmel also, the second day of the National Coursing Meet.

DUST settled, pool stages over, quarter-final pairings decided. In another fantastic Heineken Cup season it’s been yet another good season also for Irish rugby.
