Latest news from the world of sport, along with the best in opinion from our outstanding team of sports writers
It’s D-Day in what has been an epic League of Ireland title race, Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers the two contenders left standing going in to this evening’s final matches in the campaign. Shels are two points clear at the top of the table, but they’re away to Derry City, whose own title challenge only ended a week ago, while Rovers are at home to Waterford.
Ironically, Duff’s coaching career began at Rovers when he joined them in the twilight of his playing days, Gordon Manning looking back at his relationship with the club that now stands between him and what he says would be, the dynamic between the teams changing forever after that 2016 triumph in Soldier Field. So, he writes, “a decidedly mortal All Black side will be met in Dublin with more expectation and less fear” when they arrive for next Friday’s game at the Aviva Stadium.
