CJ Stander bagged his third major award in nine days but yesterday’s Munster Rugby Player of the Year honour was, he said, the one that meant the most to him.

REMEMBER the Siege of Limerick in 1690? Cromwell's army was on an all-conquering rampage through Ireland when it came to this fortress town on the banks of the Shannon with very high expectations.

WHILE provisional dates for the resumption of Ireland’s matches in the Six Nations have been set for the end of April and into May, I cannot see these matches taking places unless some drastic action is taken.
