On the record

“You need two eyes to play out-half but I seem to be doing okay with just one.”

We spoke to former Leinster out-half Ian McKinley, who retired from rugby back in 2011 after losing sight in his left eye. With the help of protective goggles, McKinley has returned to professional rugby in Italy.

The best thing we shared

Surely this is Equatorial Guinea’s last chance at success with such an old group of players!

Where we we today

Our rugby reporter Murray Kinsella is at the Sportsgrounds for Connacht vs Edinburgh tonight.

The fixture list

  • There’s another Premier League feast this weekend, with Everton vs Man City and Man United vs Southampton the highlights.
