Many have asked us about the availability of Tom Doyle’s ‘Thanks Be To Bod’ print (above) since it was featured here last week.

Sadly the prints chronicling Brian O’Driscoll’s career [A3 sized and costing €30] have all sold out.

BUT Tom has donated his LAST one to give away to a committed Brian O’Driscoll follower.

To enter, he would like YOU to complete this sentence.

Someone suggested you might be interested in my poem for International Women’s Day. I’m an Irish Slam poet and this is about consent and rape, a true story and a tough one to tell. I’ll let the poem speak for itself.

“Every year my office holds a competition to predict the scores of the six nations. This year 197 people entered. I have been betting on the averages; putting crowdsourcing to the test.

“I thought you might be interested for two reasons. 1. I’ve lost every bet I’ve made. 2. Ireland are at 1/100 to win this weekend or if you put €1 on Ireland you would win 1 whole shiny cent if they win….”
