Hugh Farrelly

Hugh Farrelly charts the colourful career of Mick Doyle, one of Irish rugby’s greatest characters.

He knows very little about Sunday’s Heineken Cup Munster and cannot name one prop that really troubled him, but All Black legend Craig Dowd ia not an arrogant player, merely an honest one. Hugh Farrelly met the family man who is loving his rugby with the Wasps.

Saracens' Darragh O'Mahony has enjoyed a successful career in England but, when the Corkman watches Munster taking on Stade Francais in the Heineken Cup quarter-final this weekend, he will find it hard to submerge a certain sense of regret. Hugh Farrelly met him in London.

In the second of our series of interviews celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Irish Examiner/TV3 National Junior Sports Stars, Hugh Farrelly looks back and forward with Munster and Ireland back-row Anthony Foley, an award winner in 1991. This year’s award winners will be announced on March 18.

I WISH to take issue with Hugh Farrelly’s feature on Lifeline Hangover Defence (Irish Examiner, Dec 10), in which he claimed that the product did not work for him and in which he suggested that we, the manufacturers, were “bluffers”.

I WAS appalled by Hugh Farrelly’s recent article titled ‘The art of bluff’ (Irish Examiner, Jan 24).

I COMMEND Hugh Farrelly’s expose headlined ‘the art of bluff’ (Irish Examiner, Jan 24). His depictions of some of the materials exhibited at the Crawford Art Gallery in Cork left the reader without any illusions.

AN Oscar to Hugh Farrelly for his perceptive rug
