Playing with the Little People

IT’S been a tough comeback. Last April, in this column, I expressed my dissatisfaction with retirement and my wish to play All-Ireland League rugby again before all I was fit for was gardening and sing-alongs to the ‘Lyrics Board’.

Once it was in black-and-white there was no backing down and I was subsequently handed my summer training plan and told to get busy.

However, as a succession of coaches have found out, I tend not to summer well.
