RUGBY
Former Ireland, Leinster and Munster forward Trevor Hogan says there's no way Leinster head coach Matt O'Connor should lose his position at the end of the season.
The province's chances of reaching the Guinness Pro 12 semi finals ended last weekend but Hogan admits games lost earlier in the season must be reexamined to find the source of their problems.
Hogan told last night's Off the Ball that O'Connor should stay, although questions need to be asked.
SOCCER
It's a huge night for Liverpool who can launch themselves back into the Champions League running tonight when they face Hull.
A win would move them to within four points of fourth placed Manchester United.
The hosts are just one point above the drop zone and will be without the suspended David Meyler.
Reds Manager Brendan Rodgers says United defeat to Everton on Sunday has given his side renewed hope they can qualify for the Champions League.
Eddie Howe appears to have guided Bournemouth to the top flight of English football for the first time in their history.
A 3-0 victory over Bolton moved them three points and a +19 goal difference ahead of third placed Middlesbrough, with only one Championship game left to play.
Howe saved the club from dropping out of the Football League six years ago.
Both him and Brett Pittman have left and come back again since then - and the forward explains how the manager has helped turned things around.
