Commenting on the move, Brian O’Driscoll said:

Rugby with weapons.

Finally.

Seamus Cassells writes:

“I play a sport called Jugger, its sort of like a 5-aside game of rugby, where four players on the team are armed. So it looks like like a cross between rugby and fencing. It’s a very fun sport, and is actually quite big in some places internationally even though its very small here. We’re holding a an international tournament on the 7th and 8th of June where German, Spanish, American and Irish teams will be competing, and want to spread the word so people can come see what its like and enjoy the spectacle. We’ve been representing Ireland in quite a few Jugger tournaments abroad, and we’re looking forward to doing it on our home ground again. The girl in the air is Marion, one of our players btw.”

“Add an abnormal smear test result into the mix (pre-cancerous cells on the cervix are usually caused by human papillomavirus, HPV; up to eight out of 10 people will be infected with it at some point. As a character in Girls says, “all adventurous girls” have it) and I became pretty convinced of the importance of strapping it up…”

“I’ve been developing the app SportBox to a stage ready for testing and now I’m looking for test groups to put it through its paces and give me much needed feedback.
It’s basically designed to take the hassle out of organising sporting events, like 5 aside or tag rugby etc. Some of the features include recurring events, automatic invitations, group messaging and so on.
