PETER O’MAHONY WINCES as the last question comes in across the video conference call.

Do you feel you owe the team a performance?

He unscrews the lid from a bottle, patiently takes a sip and methodically replaces the cap again, gathering his thoughts before giving a response.

Although Ireland’s faults have ranged far beyond O’Mahony’s error as he entered an early ruck in Cardiff, it is easy to look back on his red card against Wales as something akin to a Sliding Doors moment in the Championship.

Wayne Pivac’s men are chasing a Grand Slam now, but at that point they were under the pump against a well-functioning Ireland team who came close to winning despite being down a man for an hour on opening weekend.

“Look,” says O’Mahony when the energy drink is safely back on the table along with the issue of his sending off, “when it comes to the breakdown and it comes to international rugby, you have to be incredibly urgent, you’ve got to be incredibly accurate and you’ve got to bring physicality.

“These incidents happen. It’s a very physical game.  You know, I’ve always played hard, I’ve always played fairly in my opinion.”

“I 100% was in the wrong with what happened and the incident, but I think my team-mates know better than anyone that I was acting with the best intent with the best intentions for the team and unfortunately that’s what happened.”

The notion that he would have to deliver some manner of response to atone for the error clearly irked the Corkman.

“I go out every time to play as best as I can and, more important than anyone, I think the lads around me know that.”

O’Mahony wasn’t disguising his sense of frustration at missing out the middle three matches of the Six Nations. However, he did seem to take some level of refreshment from returning to training with Munster, to aid their preparations in the Pro14.

“It’s different when you’re injured. When you’re fit and healthy and raring to go, but can’t, it’s a bit tougher

 ”I spent a couple of great weeks with Munster, training with the A team and stuff, helping the seniors prepare for their games. Back here then last week to help the lads as best I could, which I enjoyed.

“I’m not making any bones about it, I’m looking forward to getting back playing.”

John Cena is adding “TV host” to his résumé!
The star opened up to “Extra’s” Renee Bargh about hosting “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader” for Nickelodeon, rumors he’s joining the “Fast and Furious” franchise, and those pics of him with a new woman.
John, who recently went through a split with Nikki Bella, stayed coy on his new relationship with Shay Shariatzadeh. He would only say, “I’m always happy.”
As for Vin Diesel’s message welcoming him to the cast of “Fast and Furious” for the 2020 installment, Cena would only say, “I can’t confirm anything like that… I know he did. His world is very different than mine… I truly appreciate his endorsement. We had a wonderful meeting together… If I were to get the opportunity, I would be extremely grateful for it.”
John is happy to be working on the new “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?,” saying, “We have some very gifted young people, and our fifth-graders are awesome. I’m very, very fortunate to be doing this show.”
Cena says the new show is not quite the same as the original, noting, “It’s much more about family learning.” He added, “The show is about learning… Kids, you are probably going to do better than your folks.”
He added, “I was a horrible fifth-grader… I caused a lot of trouble… These kids are so confident, so brilliant, and so talented, so far ahead of where I was as a fifth-grader. Gives me tremendous hope for the future.”
“Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grade?” will premiere on Nickelodeon this summer.

LEINSTER 19OSPREYS 24

THIS WAS SUPPOSED to be the ideal dress rehearsal. Except it was largely a support cast who were out here on stage, learning lines they may never get to use. But that wasn’t the central storyline here. No, that was what happened in the final 13 minutes.

Leinster looked home and hosed, 19-3 ahead, cruising. They then fell asleep, conceded a soft try to Olly Cracknell, lost replacement Andrew Smith to a yellow card and more importantly, lost momentum. Two further tries – Owen Watkin and Josh Murphy getting them – followed. 

Worse again, Leinster panicked. At no stage in that final 13 minutes did they look like regaining control. It was their first defeat to a Welsh side in three-and-a-half years, their first at home to Ospreys since 2012.

Munster next week will be a different story, a final rather than a dead rubber, a real rivalry rather than a manufactured one.

The only thing we can be sure of is that Leo Cullen will make changes to his starting XV. It may be as many as 15.

Ultimately, Ospreys deserved this. All the early pressure came from them, their ability to get on the front foot assisted by an energy you don’t always get from them. They recycled quickly, got a couple of line breaks, profited from out-half Luke Price’s scheming, should have had a few points as a reward for their efforts.

That they didn’t come stemmed from a couple of things, Price unwisely kicking rather than running on six minutes, Leinster staying organised despite the incessant pressure. Two tackles stood out, one by Max O’Reilly on the much bigger Lloyd Ashley, another by Dave Kearney on Dewi Cross.

In these early stages, Leinster were struggling to get a foothold in the game, although Harry Byrne was certainly doing his best, one half-break led to Leinster gaining an entry into the Ospreys half, another flicked pass on 17 minutes nearly resulted in Ciaran Frawley getting Kearney away.

They hadn’t long to wait before their opening score arrived, though – a sustained period of pressure on the Ospreys line resulting in Ma’afu Fia committing a yellow card offence, leaving Leinster with the option of taking a handy three points or showing more ambition.

You know by now what option they went for, Scott Fardy calling for a scrum, Scott Penny breaking off it, feeding Rowan Osborne who spun it wide to Byrne.

His pace off the mark and confidence to take the gap resulted in the game’s first try. Frawley converted. Leinster were on their way.

Ospreys, though, responded quickly when a penalty from Price on 26 minutes sneaked over, even though the outhalf slipped as he struck it.

That, you’d imagine, should have settled them. Instead Leinster scored from the restart, Jamie Osborne ruthlessly exploiting the hesitancy in the Ospreys defence, collecting a ball he had no right to, before he raced uninterrupted to the line. 12-3, Frawley missed the conversion.

While the remainder of the first half was an untidy mess – handling errors compounded by players from both teams taking wrong options, it didn’t take long for the second half to take flight.

Just four minutes in fact, Devin Toner having a hand in Leinster’s third try on the night he equalled the province’s appearance record, his tap back leading to Josh Murphy going on the charge, before Michael Bent, of all people, kept the move going with a linebreak; Byrne arriving on a supporting run to finish things off. Frawley converted this time.

That, you imagined, was the end of it all. 

Instead the drama was only really beginning.

First, Andrew Smith got yellow carded for a high tackle. The score was 19-3 to Leinster when he went off, 24-19 to Ospreys when he  returned, Olly Cracknell getting the first Ospreys try just two minutes after Smith’s infringement.  Josh Thomas converted, the gap reduced to nine.

Soon it was two, Owen Watkin driving through Toner en route to the line. Thomas, again, converted.

This was when Leinster needed to be calm. But there is a difference between being calm and casual. Byrne, seeking to find touch on 76 minutes, was much, much too slow getting his kick away; Thomas blocked it down, O’Reilly failed to gather the loose ball whereas Thomas didn’t hesitate as he crossed to score and complete a remarkable comeback.

JOHANN VAN GRAAN wasn’t in a mood to give much away as he took on press duties ahead of Saturday’s Pro14 final against Leinster (kick-off 5pm, eir Sport).

The Munster head coach wouldn’t be drawn on how much his first final in charge of the southern province mean to him personally. Nor how he intends to use his international contingent –  though, as they face the the tightest of seven-day turnarounds as they switch focus from international to inter-pro, it may well be too early to tell.

Perhaps inspired by a few dead-batted answers, Van Graan is asked if he is concealing any tricks up his sleeve, a key to breaking a losing run against Leinster and near-decade-long wait for a trophy in Thomond Park.

“I don’t think finals are about trick plays,” says the former Springbok forwards coach.

“Every team has something up their sleeve on both sides of the ball, but it’s about doing your basics well.

“Whether that’s to the opponents, the weather, the referee or the scoreboard. We’ll be looking to execute our basics exceptionally well and then adapt on the day.”

The adaptation of Munster’s attack has been particularly eye-catching of late and while he highlights the importance of the basics against a ‘well-oiled machine’ of a Leinster side with ‘no weaknesses,’ Van Graan also notes some of the more free-flowing scores in Munster’s highlight reel. Mike Haley, Shane Daly and Ben Healy finishes represent the fruits of labour from a coaching ticket who have had time and space to make their mark.

“We said we need to get better in all areas, that’s what you look for in a season and I believe we have. Now it’s about producing on a day that matters most, that’s in a final.

“We’re coming up against possibly the best team in Europe, certainly in the Pro14 over the last few seasons and they’re playing at their home ground. We’re under no illusions we’ll have to be at our best to beat them.

“It’s a great challenge in front of us, we believe we’v improved through the season and  that will be put to the test on Saturday afternoon.”

ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER title for Leinster. That’s four in a row now and if truth be told, this one never looked in doubt.

They didn’t get it easy but nor did they ever trail against old rivals, Munster. In the end, the 16-6 scoreline was just about right.

Afterwards Devin Toner, who became Leinster’s record caps holder tonight, said: “It is unbelievable for us, especially as we did it here in the RDS, which is a pretty special place for us to play. We knew it was not going to be easy – it never is against Munster.

“To get the win, we knew we needed to match their intensity. The thing is that once we get our gameplan right, we are hard to beat.

“It is a very special day for me personally. All the letters, texts and tweets I have got is unbelievable. I am going in to train with lads who were born when I was in fourth year and it is invigorating to be around those young guys. It is a really good place to be at the moment.

ULSTER NUMBER EIGHT Marcell Coetzee has been voted the Pro14 Players’ Player of the Season for 2020/21. 

The 29-year-old Springbok won the award — voted on by each club’s captain and vice-captain — thanks to his outstanding displays in this year’s competition. 

Coetzee was joint-top try-scorer (9), first for offloads (20) and in the top five for successful carries (67), while also recording a 95% success rate in 105 tackles.

Previous winners of the award are Duhan van der Merwe, Bill Mata, Tadhg Beirne, Charles Piutau and Bundee Aki.

Having joined Ulster in 2016, Coetzee, who has 30 caps for South Africa, will return to his homeland at the end of the season after agreeing a move to the Bulls. 

“It’s a great honour and privilege to accept this award given the talent in this year’s Guinness Pro14,” Coetzee said.

“As we all know, rugby is a team sport so I want to thank my coaches and team-mates for always investing time and energy to help me grow as a player.

“Every time I get to go out there is always special.”

The State of Combat podcast recently interviewed WWE Superstar Ricochet. Below are some highlights (per Fightful).
Ricochet on his chemistry against Velveteen Dream: “As far as NXT and WWE both, I would say, honestly, it would be the Dream. The stuff that Dream and I did… because before our TakeOver match, our whole buildup was just story stuff… I don’t even think — well we wrestled once but Lars came out there and he beat us up, but other than that little bitty interaction, we didn’t have a match the whole time until TakeOver so the buildup was all… just coming off of us and our story and stuff and I thought…. That for me was like the first time really in my career where fans were this excited about a match but I didn’t even wrestle the guy yet. It was all just build up, so that for me was one of the first times that has happened in my entire career so that’s one that just sticks out there for me and I think we’re just naturally good. Back and forth. He worked off me and I worked off him.”
Ricochet on his feud with Dream: “I feel like that match could’ve went a year, two years, just buildup. I even posted a picture on my Instagram of him and I and [the caption] read, ‘Sometimes you just have two guys come out and bring out the best in each other’ and like a once in a lifetime kind of feud thing and I think we found our new one. It was a cool feeling. Again, I’ve never had something like that before in my wrestling career.”Click Here: Manchester City Jersey Sale
