Scots downed in Dublin… againFor a Scottish rugby player, heading for Dublin must be about as much fun as heading to the dentist – you know there's going to be Scottish side has ever won at the Aviva Stadium and Irish rugby's haunted house spooked Glasgow into playing well below their were very good. There was a lot of pre-match chat about them being off the boil, but the sight of Scottish opposition on home soil was the perfect followed a similar pattern to many Irish v Scottish match-ups in recent times, and the hex the Irish have over their Celtic cousins shows little sign of being broken any time can be proud of title defenceDespite the disappointing finale, Glasgow can be proud of the defence they put up of their URC title in what has been a very testing injury list has been savage. Sione Tuipulotu, Huw Jones, Zander Fagerson, Scott Cummings and Jack Dempsey have all missed big chunks of the season. They're not the only been a struggle and Warriors have had to dig far down into their reserves to find players to step into the fact they made it to the last four, and dispatched a good Stormers side so impressively in the quarter-finals, is an achievement in Smith – will he stay or will he go?Franco Smith looked emotionally drained when he spoke to BBC Scotland in the bowels of the Aviva Stadium after Saturday's seasons away from your family, living every moment of highs and lows of a team you have invested so much into emotionally, will do that to South African was in no mood to offer any guarantees he will still be at Scotstoun next is clearly unhappy at the direction of travel under performance director David Nucifora with regards to player recruitment, and you wonder if the head coach perhaps feels he has done all he can at Glasgow this space...

Historic yacht race returns to Cornwall after 40 years
A historic yacht race has returned to Cornwall after 40 Royal Cornwall Yacht Club said the Yachting Monthly Triangle Race, now known as the Yachting Monthly Celtic Triangle Race, which set off on Sunday, began in Falmouth in 1984 before it disappeared off the racing club said the competition was taken over by the Royal Torbay Yacht Club in Devon between 1986 and 2018 before a hiatus from 2020 to 2024. The competitors are due back around 20 Davis, deputy race officer, said: "This is a long-standing race but it's come back to the Royal Cornwall and we are delighted to have it back."

There were more than 60 people competing, said Mr Davis."It's an important race because it's quite a long one and you can use it as a qualifier for other races," he added.

It's for the very good Corinthian sailors."He said the yachts would complete a route, similar to a triangle, between the Celtic ports of Falmouth, Kinsale in Ireland and Treguier in northern Brittany.

Heimir Hallgrimsson says Republic of Ireland ‘growing as a unit'
Republic of Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrimsson has encouraged his players to be excited by the progress they have made as they prepare for a new World Cup qualifying campaign. Ireland will bring down the curtain on this season's fixtures with a friendly in Luxembourg on Tuesday evening knowing that when they next meet up in September, it will be the hard currency of qualification points which will be at stake against Hungary and Armenia. Advertisement They go into the game having won four and drawn one of the nine matches they have played to date under Hallgrimsson and the Icelander, who helped guide his native country to the quarter-finals at Euro 2016 courtesy of a famous last-16 win over England, believes they have established momentum. Asked about replicating that excitement with Ireland, he said: 'I think it comes automatically. It comes because we are growing as a unit. 'It comes because we are saying the same thing over and over again – probably boring for the players to listen to because we are saying the same thing over and over – and I have said before, basics first before details. Basics before details. 'The excitement comes from that. We can feel that we are growing every time we play, like how comfortable we were against Senegal. Advertisement 'That's one step taken. We can have the same against Luxembourg, so it shouldn't be up and down performances, it should be consistent performance. That is what we need.' Friday night's 1-1 draw with Senegal, who are ranked 41 places above Ireland by FIFA, in Dublin was a creditable result, but Hallgrimsson and his players would dearly love to go into the competitive games with another victory under their belts. However, they know from painful experience that Luxembourg are no longer the push-over they once may have been, having lost 1-0 to Luc Holtz's men in a World Cup qualifier at the Aviva Stadium in March 2021. Hallgrimsson, who has drafted Stoke defender Bosun Lawal into the squad, said: 'They have shown in the past how quickly they have developed as a football team. Advertisement 'They have had the same coach for a long time, really consistent in team selection, so it's more like playing a club team. Their knowledge of the team and each other is really at a high level. 'I watched the Sweden game when they played here – they beat Sweden 1-0, they could have scored more goals against Sweden. I know a little bit about them, and the strength of Sweden, so I wouldn't look at it as a shock to the nation if we would not get a good result here. Sport Five key talking points as Republic of Ireland fac... Read More 'It's that good a team that a win here would be really good for us at this stage. I hope nobody is taking them lightly, if that is the right word to say.' That said, that night in Dublin was a dark one for Irish football and then manager Stephen Kenny – although defender Nathan Collins does not want to dwell on the past. Advertisement He said: 'It's just football, isn't it? Football changes, people change, managers change, teams change and you just have to reflect on that. 'It is about what works for us now, and we can't have that on our mind. We are here with fresh faces, it is a fresh game, it is a new game.'
