Rossies relishing Royal appointment

ALL week we’ve been reading about a virus that had Meath players dropping like skittles at a kiddies’ birthday party.

Everyone in the Royal camp seems to have recovered though, as Eamonn O’Brien is in the happy position of naming the same 15 that hammered Westmeath for this evening’s clash with Roscommon.

The Rossies know all about the debilitating effects of sickness. They have been struggling with their own illness since winning the Connacht title in 2001.
