‘In the end, Jamie came out faster than Peter Stringer’

MUNSTER fans have sacrificed much to support the boys in red, but Noelle Boland more than most.

While in labour with her first baby, she ordered her husband Mick to leave the ward in the Regional Maternity Hospital in Limerick to cheer on Anthony Foley’s men.

Mick, a garda stationed in Roscrea, had taken the day off to watch the European final with friends in Caherconlish, Co Limerick, where the couple live.
