2026 @PettittsSuperV Senior Hurling Final
Rathnure St. Anne's 1-7
Shelmaliers 1-16
50 mins
Goal chance after goal chance keep coming the Shels way, but they can’t put them away. Latest one is tipped out for a 65. They could realistically have two or three more scored by now.
By the way, the 65 goes wide.
A costly evening for Andy Farrell
Tommy O'Brien limped off, Jimmy O'Brien didn't return from his HIA, Craig Casey had ice of his calf after coming off
Crowley, Doris, Conan, Ward, S Prendergast and Ringrose currently out too...
If nothing else, the first two interpros of the season have been superb
Roll on Friday, when Leinster head to Galway
Another brilliant half of interpro action, this time in Dublin
Like Ravenhill, Munster lead at the break, and they are worthy of it
Physical, patient and brave but a long way to go yet
This has been a near-perfect opening half hour from Munster
A long way to go, but they have rocked up

A much improved second 40 for Ireland as they storm past the Boks 40-27 in the end
That is gutting for Ulster but ultimately gave themselves too much to do
They should have left Loftus with 2 points or more, but instead it's just the 1 TBP, and their URC run without a win extends to 8 games now, dating back to victory over Zebre in March
Another scrappy half from Ireland in Athlone but they do lead South Africa 21-17 at the break
Scott Bemand's squad have not looked anywhere near the levels we expect across WXV so far, but great solo finishes from Aoife Dalton, Linda Djougang and Jane Clohessy have them in front
Are Canada the new best team in the world perhaps?
Back to back losses for the Red Roses for the first time in just over 10 years
THEY’VE DONE IT AGAIN 🇨🇦
Canada beat the World Champions for the second week in a row!
#WXV | #WXVGlobal
Another brilliant half of attacking rugby from Connacht... mixed with serious defensive lapses
Now at 21 tries scored and 21 conceded across the last four and a half games
Jerry Cahir and Will Connors set for their Connacht debuts as Dave Heffernan and Harry West return to the fold
Most of Ulster's Ireland contingent involved this weekend as they face the Bulls
A huge task for that front-row at scrum time
Charlie O'Shea gets the nod for Munster's trip to Dublin, but last week's win came at a cost
"Tom Ahern, John Hodnett, Dan Kelly, Jeremy Loughman and Jack Aungier all unavailable for selection after picking up injuries last week"
Dan Sheehan wears number 8 for Leinster this weekend as they host Munster in the Aviva
Gibson-Park back but Sam Prendergast is ruled out so Joey Carbery starts at 10
Luke Pearce, Angus Gardner and Christophe Ridley have been appointed as referees for Ireland's three Nations Championship games vs Arg, Fiji & RSA respectively
Andrew Brace on Scotland v NZ and Italy v Fiji; while Eoghan Cross has Italy v South Africa
Linda Djougang starts at loosehead prop as Ireland name their squad to face South Africa in WXV
Anna McGann (13) and Fiona Tuite O’Sullivan (6) also get starts in their lesser known positions with a 6/2 bench named
MARB and Ireland’s Eoghan Cross the sole Irish appointment, as he takes charge of Portugal v Samoa in Lisbon on Saturday 14th of November
MATCH OFFICIAL UPDATE: NATIONS CUP
@emirates Match Official appointments for the World Rugby Nations Cup 2026 matches in November have been announced with Angus Gardner (Australia) to take charge of the first of 18 matches.
