Sam Prendergast, the big debate: Leinster must decide whether to stick or twist
Leinster boss Leo Cullen must decide whether or not to drop Sam Prendergast - he will be wrestling with his hardest-ever selection call this week. And he will do so with pressure from above as Andy Farrell wants the 22 year-old in the Leinster first team for better or for worse; it's no skin off his nose who wins trophies at club level as his focus is on RWC being Head Coach at Leinster, a club with 11 of the 14 Central Contracted Ireland players these days, is difficult enough as you watch for what is raining down from is also the need to work with what's beneath and his Attack Coach Tyler Bleyendaal is resolutely pro-Prendergast, that's his boy while the likelihood is the generally conservative-thinking Cullen would have leaned towards Ross Byrne for the latter stages, quarters, semis and final, of an increasingly nervy URC on the idea he has the competition's best squad, take a risk-averse approach in the form of a straightforward conduit at out-half, someone to simply link his Lions/international backs with his Lions/international comfort from the idea that even with a completely mis-firing no10 against Glasgow, there was still enough to concede the last two scores and still win by 18 points (forwards decide who wins matches, backs decide by how much!)But selections at Leinster have other, hidden agendas such as All Black Jordie Barrett and Springbok RG Snyman being placed on the bench, their use being subordinate to the interests of the national if Farrell is okay with dropping Prendergast, he would likely prefer Ciaran Frawley to play no10 rather than Ross Byrne who has not only been supernumerary to the Ireland set-up, he is out of the equation from here on in having signed a three-year deal with this, Cullen can't win between announcing team selection on Friday lunchtime and kick-off at Croke Park some 29 hours later. It is a stand or fall on the result at the final Gatland has seen it all, done it all, worn all the teeshirts. He says he was genuinely put out, rocked back, by the level of venom directed at him over his 2013 Lions dropping of O'Driscoll.(Although he also says BOD, whom he accidentally bumped into after the team was named, indicated that as Tour Captain the coach had his total backing saying something on the lines of 'I've walked the walk, now I've to show I can talk the talk in there...').Gatland was, of course, vindicated as the Lions won that Test Series albeit the Gatland-BOD relationship is frosty to this then it had not been a bromance beforehand either. Their answers about each other in Cardiff after the historic 2009 Grand Slam were decidedly angular and awkward for those Deschamps got selection for the 2018 Fifa World Cup final wrong. He shouldn't have started N'golo Konte who was ill and, indeed, was taken ashore after 55 minutes. Deschamps got away with it though, France beat Croatia Conte's Chelsea won the 2016/17 Premier title posting a record number of wins in the process and with Diego Costa scoring 20 goals in 34 games. Before Costa was informed by the coach by text he wasn't wanted for next season."Hi Diego, I hope you are well," began Conte's message altogether reasonably considering he was limited by the number of characters he could use. "Thanks for the seasono [sic] we spent together. Good luck for the next year but you are not in my plan."Conte had decided to replace Costa with Alvaro Morata. He did, and sold Costa in January without playing him for even a minute to that point. Chelsea finished fifth, the Spaniard contributing just 11 goals in 31 matches, three coming in the one game against soon-to-be relegated Stoke could look to some rugby examples too, not least when it comes to picking the Jones says he lost the 2019 Rugby World Cup final by tinkering with his semi-final 10-12-13 line-up and picking Mako Vunipola ahead of Joe Mahler at started the semi-final against the All Blacks - who were on an 18 match unbeaten World Cup run at the time - with Owen Farrell at no10, Manu Tuilagi and Henry Slade in the centre and finished 19-7 impressed by George Ford who came on a sub, Jones switched the starting line-up for the final to Ford at no10 with Farrell and Slade in the centre. South Africa beat England 32-12. Ireland's rugby selection problems have included one humdinger from the past, dropping Lions prop Phil Orr in 1986, scapegoated for a loss in Paris, for a then unknown London Irish hooker Paul Kennedy. Two thrashings later Orr was recently there was Eddie O'Sullivan's baffling RWC 2007 decision to play his 'first' team in the opening game against Namibia and following 'only' winning 32-17 to play them again the following week against Ireland would be hammered by France and Argentina in the remaining pool games and fail to make the quarter-finals. This remains the only time Irland have failed to emerge from the pool stages at a Rugby World it stands, the Leinster players have Sunday off, will train/review on Monday and most likely know the team themselves on Tuesday as they line out accordingly in training before having Wednesday is not on his side and, given the options, it will not be easy for poor game does not a bad player make - but should Prendrgast's France and Wales Six Nations games be factored in here?Some of Leinster's best passing at the line in any case comes from Jamison Gibson-Park. Witness the flat, lengthy, cut-out delivery that put Jamie Osborne in for his second try on has previously indicated he does not, in any way shape or form, blame Ross Byrne on last season's lack of a trophy. He is a safe pair of hands, a better defender, less of an attacking threat, and a more reliable this: The out-half did very, very well in the second-half when the pressure was on in the 2024/24 Champions Cup semi-final against Northampton at a packed Croke he played really well away at Bulls in March with Barrett outside him at no12 and where a rookie team lost 21-20 at Loftus Versfeld. A 77th minute penalty even gave Leinster the lead only for David Kriel to land an 85th minute winning penalty. Oh so is Ciaran Frawley who, it should be noted, was brought in for Barrett just a short while before Byrne came on for Prendergast in the may even be wishing he had seen more of Frawley at out-half this term but with the pressure on to play Prendergast, selection decisions, of necessity, sometimes end up eating for the curious: What of Barrett at no10? Not a runner actually as while he plays all the positions across the backs, he has only played one of his 170-odd senior games at out-half, an RWC 2029 pudding pool game for the All Blacks against Namibia.

Ireland's most famous golfing dynasty continues as O'Connor wins Connacht title
Cian O'Connor continued a rich family dynasty as he won the Connacht Men's Open Stroke Play Championship on Saturday. O'Connor, a relative of the great Christy O'Connor Snr and Christy O'Connor Jnr, shot a closing round of 65 to finish on three-under-par, one shot clear of Castleknock's David Reddan. The victory was all the more poignant for Roscommon golfer Cian O'Connor as it arrived at the course where his famous uncles grew up playing the sport. Cian told Golf Ireland: 'It is special. This is where golf started. My family, my great uncle and great great uncle, all played here and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them. It's just a good place to win. 'They definitely were big inspirations for me. Growing up and getting into golf and looking up to them and wanting to be like them definitely pushed me on and gave me something to work towards. They're still doing that because I have a long way to go. 'We stayed with my auntie and uncle last night which was handy. I didn't have to drive as far and then my sister was down this morning and my dad came up then and my grandparents as well. 'Big, big crowd for support and I appreciate them.' O'Connor, who has just returned following his junior year at University of Memphis, said: 'This is one of my best days on the golf course.' Knocknacarra man Christy O'Connor Snr (1924-2016) was one of the leading golfers of his generation, winning over 60 professional events and coming close to winning the Open Championship on numerous occasions. The O'Connor golfing heritage continued through Christy O'Connor Jnr (1948-2016), who was the nephew of Christy Snr. O'Connor Jnr had a successful career on the European Tour for many years and is best known for beating Fred Couples at the 1989 Ryder Cup. O'Connor's two-iron into the final hole at the Belfry that skipped to within four feet of the hole is one of the most famous shots in the history of the competition. Now Cian O'Connor looks to have inherited the talents of his famous uncles as he begins to make his own mark on the game.

Rory McIlroy in Canadian Open cut battle as he beds in new driver
The Masters champion had his driver ruled non-conforming at the PGA Championship two weeks ago and after struggling with a replacement, he put a new one in the bag at TPC Toronto, where a one-over 71 left him outside the top 100 and facing a cut battle today. 'I actually felt like I played OK,' said the Co Down man, who hit just nine greens in regulation but was happy to see his left miss with the driver turn into a more manageable miss to the right. 'It was my first outing with a new driver and I felt like that went pretty well. I hit some drives that I liked and that I liked to see, so that was encouraging.' The world No 2 played the back nine blind in rainy conditions and dropped shots at the 12th and 17th before turning things around with three birdies in a row from the 18th. But while he paid for missed fairways with bogeys at the eighth and ninth, he was still upbeat despite finding himself six shots behind early leaders Taylor Pendrith, Alex Smalley and Paul Peterson. 'Overall, I'm pretty happy with how I played,' he said. 'I'm still trying to work on some things, but I'm OK with where everything is. Hopefully, that's the end of the rain and it can firm up a little bit. It's a very gettable golf course, especially with how soft it is. 'I'm going to have to do a little bit better tomorrow to be here for the weekend and give myself a chance.' As for the new driver, he said he was trying to work on his right miss. 'It's just trying to figure that out and manage it a little bit,' he explained. 'It's a nice feeling to get up the middle of the fairway and fully release it and know it's not going to go left on you. A little bit of practice this afternoon and get ready for tomorrow.' On the Ladies European Tour, Kildare's Lauren Walsh roared into contention for her maiden win when she opened with a bogey-free, five-under 67 to grab a share of the lead in the Tenerife Women's Open. ADVERTISEMENT The Castlewarden star (24) birdied the 10th and 18th at Abama Golf before making further birdies at the first, third and fifth to share top spot with Denmark's Sofie Kibsgaard Nielsen, one clear of England's Eleanor Givens. Anna Foster was 17th after a 71 as Canice Screene shot 75. Fellow rookies Sara Byrne and Annabel Wilson carded 77s. At the DP World Tour's KLM Open, Conor Purcell fought back from a four-over-par front nine, but his one-over 73 left him with work to do to make the cut at The International in Amsterdam, The Dubliner (27) made four bogeys on the back nine, two of them with three-putts, before following birdies at the first, third and sixth with another bogey at the par-three seventh. He ended the day tied for 74th, nine shots behind Portugal's Ricardo Gouveia, whose 64 gave him a one-shot lead over Scotland's Connor Syme. It was a better day on the HotelPlanner Tour for Ballymena's Dermot McElroy, who built on his third-place finish in Cadiz and opened with a four-under 67 in the Swiss Challenge in Lucerne. 'I've been working on the technical side of things for a while with my swing and decided a few weeks back to scrap the swing thoughts and just go out and play my usual game,' said McElroy, who was tied for 15th, four strokes behind England's David Horsey. 'I did it to be more consistent on the course, but obviously, my performances at the start of the year were poor enough. 'So I am happy to be back hitting my normal shots again and certainly more comfortable on the course as a result.' Alex Maguire was 38th after a 69 with Liam Nolan, who is eighth in the rankings, a shot further back in 54th after a 70. Level-par 71s left Jonny Caldwell and Max Kennedy joint 77th, while Mark Power's 74 left him 129th.
