MORE than 25 comedians from seven countries will descend on Co Tipperary this weekend for what’s become one of the most popular comedy festivals in the country.

ROB KEARNEY, who missed Leinster’s Heineken Cup semi-final victory over Munster due to illness, starts today’s Magners League clash with Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade.

Dragons coach Paul Turner has made five changes from the side which lost to Edinburgh last Friday at home to Leinster in the Magner's League on Saturday.

IT HAS been a weekend for everybody.
