Thanks to your support, eight MAGA individuals who attempted to harm peaceful protesters were arrested yesterday. Several more investigations are underway, and local authorities have been very cooperative.

Chris Busby resigning shows Mack Hansen issue has been botched from first to last
Affair raises serious questions for URC and IRFU, and is unlikely to do much for recruitment and retention of referees

I've been pursuing this scandal the last year. This company overcharges parents just to see their own children. It’s also alleged they haven't ensured staff working with children are Garda vetted. It’s scandalous TUSLA gave them more than half a million euros of public money over the last 2 years.

Amatuer Ref writing a column in the Irish Times about Pro Rugby, course he's landing on the side of the status quo. The very thing that has compromised #Connacht results for many years, and pushed #Hansen to voice an opinion that it requires addressing and change.

Makes ya wanna run through a wall for Mack. He cares.
I never want Mack to lose that fire or attitude
There's realities when you're the smaller team & you get reffed like a smaller team more often than not especially away from home
Lam got fined nearly 10 years ago for the same thing. IMO This doesn't help with ref management

Dreadful news for Craig Casey who was in superb form going to Castres and looked ready to push Jamison Gibson-Park for the starting role
‘Craig’s injury is pretty serious’ – Munster left to count the cost of defeat in Castres
A tough defeat in Castres was compounded by Munster leaving Stade Pierre Fabre last night with another mounting injury list in the midst of a crucial period of the season.

As for Connacht, Perpignan appear to have their focus firmly on the Top 14 rather than the Challenge Cup. With a small crowd expected and plenty of their starters rested, Connacht should capitalise and secure a bonus-point win. A 15-point victory seems on the cards.

Having witnessed what Bordeaux did to Connacht last season, it’s hard not to fear a similar fate for Ulster this weekend. Facing a strong side, they could struggle and may well lose by double digits.

Munster welcome the return of a few key players, but Castres will be a much tougher challenge. With a six-day turnaround and a trip to France to contend with, you’d have to think the French side might just edge this one.

Ireland goes to polls with three parties neck and neck
Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin all on about 20% in opinion polls after short, sharp campaign
Ireland’s election: the parties, the issues and the voting
Ireland goes to the polls on Friday with voters expected to choose either a second term for the incumbent centre-right coalition or a left-leaning rainbow coalition led by a resurgent Sinn Féin, the former political wing of the IRA.
Opinion polls show a dead heat, with the two main government parties – Fine Gael, led by the taoiseach, Simon Harris, and Fianna Fáil, led by the former PM Micheál Martin – and Sinn Féin all hovering at about 20% of the vote.
