The magnetic qualities Alex Codling sees in Kevin Sinfield are what will draw the Munster forwards coach to Cork on Tuesday as the former rugby league legend embarks on the latest leg of his ultra marathon challenge in support of Motor Neurone Disease charities.

Sinfield, the current England Rugby Union assistant coach, has already raised more than £10 million (€11.4m) for organisations, including the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association, since embarking on his fundraising crusade in honour of his late Leeds Rhinos team-mate and friend Rob Burrow to raise money and awareness for those impacted by MND.
