Really sad and disappointing that in the endeavour by @WorldRugby to outlaw hits to the head in a genuine effort to protect players a former @rugbyworldcup winning and @lionsofficial head coach can condone such a clumsy and technically poor illegal attempt at a tackle.

- Club rugby in @leinsterrugby OFF. All club rugby in @leinsterrugby, men's, women's and youth's on Sunday 21st January 2024 has been CALLED OFF due to the severe weather warnings issued by Met Éireann, which includes an orange wind warning. #LeinsterRugby #FromTheGroundUp
- Replying to @daracalleary and @gavreillyDara, the chairman of Bord Fáilte issued a similar statement following his ill advised holiday in Italy and was forced to resign as Minister Catherine Martin deemed his position untenable. Why shouldn't you do likewise during the most distressing health crisis in living memory?
- Replying to @Ross_Shane1Wow, we're so lucky to have @Shane_RossTD as our Minister for Sport. In fairness, he was the man who went to Rio to sort out Pat Hickey in 2016. Now he's sorting out the Kearney's in the same knowledgeable fashion 😁😁😁
