Playing against England in Vichy, France, Ireland’s triple-crown winning Wheelchair7s side demonstrates the art of running the ball along the line before pouncing.
Not for the faint of heart.

James Kingston’s bowel-liquidising POV footage of himself scaling a 315-foot-tall crane in Southampton then hanging from the top by one hand – in the style of the undisputed Russian boss of one-hand hanging Mustang-Wanted.
The xx, Mount Kimbie, Jagwar Ma @ The O2, Dublin (€35) – tomorrow Wednesday.

An early influx of Glastonbury-bound bands means this week’s gig guide is front-loaded. So if you’re not Stone Circle-bound or heading to the Cork Marquee gigs, the xx’s gig on Wednesday is the best overall lineup of the week with the superb Mount Kimbie and Jagwar Ma on support. It might be a bit weird in the O2 though.
If you’re looking for a cheaper option, there’s Youbloom, a random festival supported by Bob Geldof of largely unknown acts playing around the city from Friday to Sunday.

I know you normally don’t do this but..my dad’s bike was nicked from outside the AIB in Rathgar on Friday night. It is believed to still be at large within the Dublin Metropolitan Area.
If anyway has spotted this beauty or has seen any peaked cap scumbags rodeo’ing into the night on it, please let me know…
