The Brits and Aussies are coming to town for the Tri Nations Tag Series. It all kicks off TOMORROW (Saturday) in  Belfield, University College Dublin.

Further test games and the Tri Nations itself will take place in Limerick on Friday, July 11th.

The cheapest place to buy petrol is the United Arab Emirates followed by Malaysia, Mexico and the US. It costs €27 to fill up a tank with petrol in the UAE, €37 in Malaysia, €52 in Mexico and €55 in the US.

It is Irish taxes alone which see our fuel prices this high,” said Conor Faughnan, director of consumer affairs at the AA.
