BRIAN WILSON was as important a composer of 20th century music as Beethoven was for the 18th and 19th century and you would not find one major musical artist that would not acknowledge this fact. x.com/historyrock_/s…

With 143 caps in the starting line up to play Georgia Rugby, it’s the 5th least experienced Irish Rugby team in the professional era (since 1995) sandwiched between the match v Canada in 1997 (141 caps) and v Italy in January 1997 (147 caps) #GeovIre

#RugbyStattoGeekAlert With Hugh Gavin in, the Irish Rugby starting XV has 123 caps - only twice in the last 30 years has an Irish team gone out with fewer caps - v USA on a (Lions year) Sumner tour v USA in 2013 (119) and against Italy in December 1997 (109).

Rare that Jim Demps would get a Munster Rugby legend’s record wrong on the downside 😀😀 Ronan O Gara got 11 successful kicks that day - 10 conversions and a penalty. One of six occasions that he scored 20+ points for Irish Rugby followed by David Humphreys on 5 occasions.
