OFF THE BALL

Last night's show included a very special interview with Ireland lock Devin Toner to discuss winning the Six Nations on Saturday.

The Leinster man paid special tribute to his national skipper Paul O'Connell, while Eddie O'Sullivan and Trevor Hogan reviewed the Championship.

Waterford hurling boss Derek McGrath was also on the line to talk about blooding a new generation of Deise talent and the challenges that come with it.

In addition, Pat Nevin analysed Steven Gerrard's loss of control against Manchester United, while Ben Lyttleton reviewed El Clasico, Luis Suarez's performance, and criticism of Gareth Bale.

GAELIC FOOTBALL

Dublin's Eoghan O'Gara has been ruled out for the rest of the season.

Dubs boss Jim Gavin has confirmed that the dynamic forward ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament while playing for his club, Templeogue Synge Street, on Sunday.

He will now miss all of this year's Championship campaign. 

SOCCER

Preparations continue this morning in the Ireland camp as they get ready to take on Poland in next Sunday's Euro 2016 qualifier at the Aviva.

James McCarthy was rested yesterday while Stephen Ward sat out the session with an injury.

Daniel Sturridge has become the second Liverpool player (after Adam Lallana) to pull out of the England squad ahead of their matches against Lithuania and Italy.

The striker had a scan on a hip injury yesterday evening and it was decided he wouldn't be available for either game.
