Those Iberians surely won’t be as toothless the next night but a draw would do ye. Very impressed by Wall in the bits I saw of the second half.

Are they Iberians if they aren’t on the peninsula?

If I retract my geography I’ll cost the Irish clubs a co-efficient point. So no comment.

Based on this Seanie Maguire should have got a 50m move to Arsenal in 2017

Think glass half-full. It’s a shorter “away” trip than when you go to Tallaght

Shamrock Rovers boss Stephen Bradley has said the influence of Johnny Sexton will be a positive for the club as the Irish rugby great spends time with the Tallaght side ahead of a busy week of European and domestic action.

Sexton has been a keen observer around the Roadstone training ground in south Dublin this week as part of his own coaching education.

The former Ireland captain retired from playing after the 2023 World Cup and began pursuing a career in business.

But he has now gone back into rugby on a full-time basis, working as assistant coach with Ireland while he also had a role with the British and Irish Lions.

Sexton visited Premier League side Brentford recently, under their Irish manager Keith Andrews, and is this week with the Hoops as they prepare for a UEFA Conference League clash with Sparta Prague and a Sports Direct FAI Cup semi-final with Kerry on Sunday.

Bradley is looking forward to his conversations with Sexton and is eager for him to “critique” the environment.

The Shamrock Rovers boss said: "Johnny is obviously starting out on his coaching journey. Johnny has been a world class player for so long, and when you get an opportunity to have someone like that in the building, and him to learn from us and us to learn from him, that can only be positive for everyone.

"This morning we’ve had a video [session] and a really good conversation afterwards so we’ve already learned from each other. When you get the chance to work with world class people like Johnny Sexton, you’ve got to take that opportunity with both hands.

"We’ll sit down in the afternoon. I know he’s done a couple of visits and he’s going to do a couple more to other places. It’s about him critiquing us.

“He’s only in the door, so fresh eyes will be nice. And it’s us picking his brains on different scenarios and different situations.”

Doesn’t sound like the business lasted too long, whatever it was.
He’ll be on the pendulum summit circuit soon.

I wouldn’t say he’s the brightest in fairness
