Johnny Sexton tops list of Ireland's Top 10 all-time greats (Extra.ie)

And it's true that there is no direct way of gauging the impact of Johnny Sexton versus that of Jack Kyle. And in the case of the latter, the absence of.

He is adored by supporters in Ireland and beyond, with his international support based on what he did for the Lions. That the tour even happened should be a source of ongoing regret, given the wretched apartheid regime was in its pomp at the time. That reliability helped Eddie O'Sullivan build the first formidable national team of the professional era, and along with O'Connell and O'Driscoll, he epitomised the high standards that have now become the norm. And after his sensational form of the past two years, he is now untouchable in any list of Ireland's greatest . His playing record remains incredible, not least a flabbergasting 17 Lions Tests earned over five tours. 6 RONAN O'GARA (2000-2013; Caps: 128; Points: 1,083) AS with O'Connell, his career ended not with bouquets but a more familiar sporting disappointment. The glorious moments wallpaper the memories of sports fans of a certain age. The Irish team were celebrating their Grand Slam in the Millennium Stadium, when Brian O'Driscoll made contact with Jack Kyle (right). His end, when it came, was in keeping with an often brutal sport. And it's true that there is no direct way of gauging the impact of Johnny Sexton versus that of Jack Kyle. Unlike O'Driscoll, Sexton does not have peers of a similar age and status to help him lead his country. And in the case of the latter, the absence of footage of his sporting heyday obliges the adjudicator to lean on the accounts of his prowess.

The 18-year-old Ferguson hopes to continue his hot streak as he netted a pair of goals for Brighton & Hove Albion in their 5-0 triumph over Grimsby Town on March 19 in the FA Cup quarterfinals. The Irish advanced to the European Championship just once in their first 13 attempts but have accomplished the feat twice in their last three tries. They are winless in five European Qualifying matches since defeating Gibraltar 2-0 in June 2019 but are unbeaten in their last 13 home games across all competitions.

"They have always been there and thereabouts, and there is always a chance, and they then fall away at the last hurdle, "Personally, I like him. "It's just trying to frustrate them and keep them quiet, and if Ireland can keep it 0-0 in the last 15-20 minutes, they have a chance. "There will be chances.

Many argue that the former League of Ireland boss should get the time to lead Ireland to the following European Championship finals in Germany.

'We'll need to show fire and ice': Stephen Kenny urges Ireland to ... (The Irish Times)

European Championships – Group B: Republic of Ireland v France, Aviva Stadium, 7.45pm (Live on RTÉ2). France's arrival in Dublin rekindles an old debate.

“Callum is the quickest player that we have in that position by some distance,” the Ireland manager noted last week. This being France in 2023, the fixture transcends the occasion. The make-up of defence remains a mystery. “We’ve been working on a way of playing for the last two years. France did give the Dutch chances, but that’s the problem; win one skirmish and another breaks out 60 metres down field. “No, absolutely not,” Kenny responded to the idea. “And France, coming at us, do we just suddenly change and not show courage, and just accept a slow death? Steal a draw and run for the hills. This week the French media wanted to discuss Thierry Henry’s handball in 2009, which cost Fifa a cool €5 million, but nobody in Ireland wants to reopen that scab. Astonishingly, the absence of 2022 Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kanté and Paul Pogba hardly mattered in Qatar as Aurélien Tchouaméni and Adrien Rabiot allow Antoine Griezmann to conduct the orchestra. We’ll need to show fire and ice.” Fast forward to modern times and Shane Long’s on-the-run strike to sink Germany at the Aviva in 2015 fits into this irrational preview.

The 25th Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards: Owen Roe and Janet ... (The Irish Times)

'For 25 years, these awards have been a concrete signal of The Irish Times' commitment to the arts in general and the art of theatre in particular'

Aedín Cosgrove won the award for best set for Good Sex. A special tribute award was given to Bosco Hogan in recognition of his decades of work on the Irish stage, while No Magic Pill won the audience award. We want now to salute the great theatre work which we were not able to recognise in our nominations and to express our appreciation for the enormous pleasure it gave us in 2022.” What we had to do, and what we did, was to look at each category in turn and apply to each one the same criteria of excellence that are laid out for the awards. Irish Times Arts and Culture Editor Hugh Linehan said: “For 25 years, these awards have been a concrete signal of The Irish Times’ commitment to the arts in general and the art of theatre in particular. Nolan’s An Octoroon colleague Maeve O’Mahony was nominated for best supporting actress, but she lost out to Anna Healy for her performances in Portia Coughlan, The Last Return and The Spin.

'A tough time – but so exciting': cult film-maker Vivienne Dick on New ... (The Guardian)

She fled rural Ireland and hit the Big Apple just in time to capture Lydia Lunch, James Chance and the post-punk scene take off.

The last is a world away from her early work, a richly hued metaphorical performance piece that, she says, “explores themes of female power, ancient power and the nature of ancient, invisible time”. “I think we need to get back to that idea of art as transformative, but we also need to become more aware of our deep relationship to the Earth. In many ways, Dick’s films have moved from addressing her immediate milieu – the energy of a pivotal cultural moment in late 70s New York – to the ebb and flow of deep time, the traces of ancient myth and ritual that still resonate in the elemental landscapes of Ireland’s ancient sites. “She just did it by instinct, treading a line in her early work between documentary and narrative – and, in the process, evoking an acute sense of a culturally important and wildly innovative time and a place.” “It was a tough time and people tend to put a glaze on it as time goes by. What’s more important to me is that I make the most of the time I have left on this planet.” It’s by the by that I have somehow become a cult figure. Now in her early 70s, Dick grew up in the fishing village of Killybegs in Donegal. “Though she worked for a time with Jack Smith, I don’t think Vivienne was a student of influential underground film-makers like Kenneth Anger or Jonas Mekas,” says John Marchant, whose eponymous new Brighton gallery opened at the weekend with “She was wearing a green and orange mini dress,” The end result, though, has a raw, poetic intimacy that perfectly captures the iconoclastic spirit of the time. There she hung out with many of the characters who would go on to define Manhattan’s legendary post-punk No Wave movement: the likes of Lydia Lunch (of Teenage Jesus and the Jerks), Pat Place (Bush Tetras), James Chance and Adele Bertei (the Contortions).
