If Declan Kidney was hoping his Irish Wolfhounds would upset the established order ahead of his RBS 6 Nations squad announcement today, he will have left Exeter on Saturday night slightly disappointed.

Munster hat-trick hero Simon Zebo has been given a chance to stake a senior international claim after being selected for the Ireland Wolfhounds in the A international against England Saxons in Exeter tomorrow (5pm).

SIGERSON Cup holders UCC finished with a flurry of points to turn a two-point deficit into a three-point victory in this high-quality game at Dr Cullen Park, Carlow, yesterday.

NOT a classic in Navan by any means yet a replay that won’t easily be forgotten, 120 energy sapping minutes failing to separate the teams.

IT says everything about the topsy-turvy nature of this game that both teams will look back on theclosing credits of yesterday’s Meath SFC final and balance regrets with gratitude.

DUNSHAUGHLIN turned the clock back to reach the Meath SFC final for the first time since 2002 when completing their three-in-a-row sequence of success over hot favourites Donaghmore/Ashbourne at Páirc Tailteann yesterday.

Munster’s bid to reclaim the Interprovincial title took another step forward yesterday as they scored a huge win over Connacht at Musgrave Park.
