Ireland’s 6 Nations 3-in-a-row hopes are all but over, Ballyboden St Enda’s are into their first ever All-Ireland Club Football Final, the Dublin hurlers were well beaten in their opening league game by Tipp and Shamrock Rovers are getting ready to play the Argentina U23s in the 30 degree heat of India tonight.
We had exclusive re-action and build-up to all of those games on Now That’s What I Call Sport this morning.
Malcolm O’Kelly told Jamie Moore what went wrong for Ireland last night, and why we are getting so many serious injuries.
Jason McAteer compared the atmosphere after his goal against Holland in 2001 as better than the one after Shane Long scored at The Aviva against Germany last year in the Euro qualifiers.
He also told Jamie why he doesn’t like being called a Spice Boy and how he was sold to Bolton, with the transfer fee being a bag of footballs.
