[tag]Eddie O’Sullivan[/tag] has made five changes to the [tag]Ireland[/tag] team that beat [tag]Australia[/tag] in November. This [tag]Irish[/tag] starting 15 is similar to the “traditional” 15 that I guessed at last week but I got a fair few wrong: Horan Flannery R Best Hayes O’Connell O’Kelly O’Callaghan N Best S Easterby Wallace Leamy Stringer O’Gara Hickie [...]

Last weekend he flipped during the [tag]Ulster[/tag]‘s visit to his home town of [tag]Toulouse[/tag], and “allegedly punched” an Ulster supporter in the face.

Despite believing that Lance Armstrong was a drug using cheat, I really enjoyed his first book “It’s not about the bike“. It was a well written, compelling story.
