Ever wonder what match-day is like for an inter-county referee? Spent the day with David Gough for Donegal v Cork. Thanks to @goughd4 & his umpires for allowing us all a rare glimpse inside the world of officiating high level sport. irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-…

Rugby is a game for all shapes and sizes. Depower the scrum anymore and you may as well watch a rugby league match.
It will destroy the community game if there is no place for your good old fashioned type of prop.
Keep meddling with the game and you will destroy it.
🗣️ "That was just horrible. All those people that came to watch that game and on TV, it was disaster."
🤜🤛 Matt Williams: Springboks performance was 'masterful' but World Rugby must depower the scrum after Ireland 'disaster'.

Match days in Donnybrook will never be the same again. We’ve lost a gentleman. RIP Steve.
Stephen Jameson - RIP
Our hearts in Leinster HQ are broken as we say goodbye to Steve, or Jamo.
A former Monkstown, St Mary’s, Connacht and Leinster player, but he was much more than that to us that worked with him day in, day out.
Codladh sámh, Steve 💙

There was always a warm welcome for match officials on match day. RIP Robbie.
The IRFU was saddened to hear of the recent passing of Robert ‘Robbie’ Watts whose family have been stewarding at international and provincial fixtures for many years.
The family is synonymous with the Matchday experience and in extending a warm Irish welcome to visitors from near and far.
We extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Pam, daughter Mandy, son Melvin and their extended family and many friends at this sad time.
