Tadhg Beirne: ‘It had only been a year since I had been let go by Leinster. To be back there and to get that result with Scarlets was pretty special'
The Munster and Ireland player talks about the historic game that changed everything for him at 15, getting spotted to play for Leinster and embracing every opportunity I was lucky enough to go to the Ireland versus England game in the 2007 Six Nations. That sticks out to me as a massive moment growing up. I was not long playing rugby at school and was starting to take a real interest in it. That game made such an impact and was an eye-opener for me as a kid. It gave me a real itch to play the game. There was such a huge build-up with the match being played at Croke Park and England coming over. The anthems, ahead of the game, will always stay with me. There was respect for the English anthem, then this unbelievable noise for the Irish anthems. You could see how much it meant to the players there. Some were singing while others were crying. Some were doing both. Real goose bumps stuff. It showed you how much it meant to everyone. You just had this feeling that it was going to be a special game. Crazy atmosphere.

Star singer to perform at Gaelic Grounds as warm-up for mouth-watering Munster final between Cork & Limerick
GAVIN James will set the scene for Saturday's Munster final spectacular by playing a 40-minute warm-up set. There is the distinct possibility that Limerick are "in the heads" of their Cork foes considering they 3 Once again the TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick will play host to the rivals 3 Gavin James is set to serve as the warm-up act before hurling takes centre stage And ahead of Saturday's 6pm throw-in Limerick GAA has announced that Dublin singer-songwriter James will get the occasion going from 4.35pm. "Gates will open on Saturday June 7 at 4pm. "Honing his performing and song writing gifts as a busker and pub performer in Dublin, to sold out world tours, Gavin's come a long way. Read More On GAA "James has built a community of fans that have seen his music streamed three billion times across the globe and earn diamond and platinum records in multiple countries. "He has also sold more than 250,000 tickets (and counting) worldwide with a live show that is as transporting as it is uplifting. "This June, James returns with a new single 'Cherry Cola', a precursor to a new album of original material that he's recording in a studio on a mountain outside his home city of Dublin." Earlier this week, Tipperary great Patrick 'Bonner' Maher Most read in GAA Hurling Speaking at the Electric Ireland All-Ireland Minor Championship launch, he said: 'I think Cork should come back. They'll have a bit of a bite after what happened in the last game. 'I'm hoping for a classic Munster final, fire and brimstone, where two teams go hammer-and-tongs at each other. Tipperary GAA star 'had to do live apology on RTE' the day after cursing during All-Ireland interview - 'It's going to be a hard one to call. Both of them are going to go hard at each other and see where the pieces fall. 'Judging on the last day, you'd say Limerick are one or two points ahead. 'But I wouldn't write off Cork because those boys are well able to play.' Limerick, who have won five All-Irelands and six Munster titles since 2018, are often placed in opposition to Brian Cody's four-in-a-row Kilkenny crop in debates over the greatest hurling team of all time. 3 Maher at the 2025 Electric Ireland GAA All-Ireland Minor Championship launch Credit: Inpho Maher came up against John Kiely's Limerick on several occasions in the latter half of his career, having also been part of the Tipp side who scuppered the Cats' quest for a fifth consecutive Liam MacCarthy Cup in 2010. But the three-time All-Ireland winner said: 'It's very hard to compare a team in one period to a team in the current period. 'There are so many variables, it's hard to say if they're as good or better than that Kilkenny team. 'I was lucky enough, or unlucky enough, to play against both. For their time and their moment playing, they're the best team that's there at that moment. 'I wouldn't compare against the Kilkenny team because they were a different animal and that was in their time. They're two serious outfits.'

Leinster's Ryan Baird: 'You'll find out if you are a man or a mouse'
Leinster back row Ryan Baird says the province will find out this weekend if they are men or mice. Leo Cullen's side face defending BKT URC champions Glasgow Warriors in the semi-final at Aviva Stadium on Saturday (2.45pm, live on RTÉ). Leinster won 16 games in a row from the start of the season but have lost three times since March, to Bulls and Scarlets in the URC, and the devastating defeat to Northampton Saints in the Champions Cup semi-final. They've managed to put three wins in a row together since their European exit but looked far from their best in victories over Glasgow and Scarlets. Baird, who was yesterday named in the Ireland squad for the summer tour, has played 80 minutes in each of the last three matches and feels that the real measure of the Leinster team will be revealed in the final stages of Saturday's clash. "It's very easy at the start of the game to be very clear, present and understanding exactly what you are trying to execute but once the fatigue comes on, that's the challenge and that's when you see the best teams win," the 25-year-old (below) told RTÉ Sport's Michael Corcoran. "It's when they have the ability to execute the fundamentals of the game under pressure, under fatigue, the last 10 minutes of game. "By no means we'll be taking that part of the game for granted. There'll be visualisation done. "Even in the way we train, putting yourself under fatigue to mimic it, even if it's only for a minute or two during the week. "It's all those moments that you've accumulated over the whole season, it's what you'll have to trust. "When the pressure comes on, you'll fall back on what your habits are. "It's incredibly exciting when you put yourself in a position where you don't really know what's going to happen and you'll find out if you are a man or a mouse." Baird also revealed that, unlike some of his team-mates, he opted to watch the Champions Cup final, where Bordeaux Begles beat the Saints 28-20. He says they can use that feeling as motivation when they face Franco Smith's side, who impressed in their quarter-final win over Stormers. "I was sitting in a pub, with a Mi-wadi, just to be clear, watching the Champions Cup final and you just have this sick feeling in your stomach," said the Dubliner, who has 27 Ireland caps. "We were there for three years in a row and you don't get that taste so to have another opportunity to get a trophy, we're incredibly fortunate. "Some teams don't get that second chance and we have that second chance. "We haven't won the URC since it was reformatted, so there's no shortage of motivation."
