OFF THE BALL
Off The Ball held a Roadshow in Drogheda last night, broadcasting live from the TLT Theatre.
Brian O'Driscoll was joined by Six Nations champions Hannah Tyrrell, Sean Cronin, Devin Toner and Jared Payne, in addition to Neil Back, Trevor Hogan and Gerry Thornley.
Ireland's latest No.13 Payne insisted 'there's never going to be another Brian', while Drico reckons Bath will be aiming to "out-Leinster" the Blues this weekend.
You can watch Cronin, who admitted he "had to accept" his impact role under Joe Schmidt, demo the art of the line-out with Toner on stage here!
It's a radio first (probably!), a line-out tutorial. pic.twitter.com/qpJ5JzgNRj

HURLING
Tipperary say they have failed in their efforts to have Séamus Callanan's controversial sending-off against Offaly in last weekend's Allianz NHL Division 1 quarter-final overturned.
The Premier face Waterford in the semis on April 19. "Tipperary's efforts at central hearings failed to have Seamus Callanan's red card and Cathal Barrett's first yellow rescinded," said a Tipperary statement this morning, "and are awaiting the final wording of the committee decision before deciding on further action."
SOCCER
Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling says he's more interested in winning trophies than money.
That's despite him stalling over a new contract - reportedly worth £100,000-a-week.
Sterling says he's not a "money-grabbing 20-year-old", but he wants to focus on his football for the rest of the season.
