We hope the Irish rugby team didn’t see this when they landed in Dublin on Monday. Our Irish brothers at JOE.ie are still coming to terms with the crushing defeat to Argentina last weekend, and getting their hands on some heavily-reduced rugby paraphernalia would be the last thing on their mind at the moment.

He might have made a promising start to his Manchester United career, but Anthony Martial hasn’t made life easy for his team mates in Moscow.

Having been pegged back by Lyon, Hulk produced an emphatic response for his Zenit St. Petersburg. A smart turn on halfway was enough to lose a couple of markers.
