Those who want to see a new government in Ireland to cut immigration and break ties with globalist elites need to “reach across the Atlantic” and seek help from the Irish diaspora in the US Maga movement Eddie Hobbs told a conference on Saturday. Participants in the sessions, which were all moderated by Mr Hobbs, a financial adviser-turned podcaster and campaigner, included Independent Dublin councillor Malachy Steenson, entrepreneur Declan Ganley and Independent senator Sharon Keogan. The conference was billed as “a solutions-driven public conference” with host Mr Hobbs and guests “speaking on the issues Ireland faces today”. Mr Hobbs has featured on Mr Bannon’s War Room podcast. “The mainstream media is the North Korea of Europe,” Mr Hobbs told Mr Bannon when he appeared on his show last June and was asked to explain why there was no major populist right-wing movement in Ireland.

Simon Zebo said Munster will be devastated by their 27-25 defeat to Toulon in the Champions Cup, but believes they will take positives from the performance. Munster had come back from 11 points down early in the second half to lead the French side 25-24. "Ultimately that last penalty against Farrell I think is ridiculously harsh," former England international Andy Goode said on Premier Sports. Munster withstood late Toulon pressure to prevent what would have been a bonus point try for the French side. A converted try would also have meant Munster leaving the south of France without a losing bonus point.

Tries from Calvin Nash for Munster and then Gael Drean for the home side moved the scoreboard to 21-13 for Toulon before another Domon Penalty left the visitors trailing by 11 points with 15 minutes remaining. Munster had been forced into a late change to their replacements with lock/flanker Tom Ahern withdrawn due to a neck injury. The first half was a scrappy, stop-start affair which saw both Toulon and Munster fail to gain any traction in attack as handling errors abounded. The closest Munster had come to scoring a try came after a dropped ball by Toulon on the visitors’ 22. Toulon dominated possession in the closing minutes to leave Munster to cling heroically to a losing bonus point at 27-25.

Ulster’s Challenge Cup game against South African side Cheetahs in Amsterdam has been postponed due to snow in the Netherlands. Following a pitch inspection by the match day referee Kevin Bralley, his decision is that the pitch is unplayable. His recommendation to EPCR, Cheetahs and Ulster is the pitch at Dukes Rugby is not safe for today’s fixture to take place as scheduled at 2pm local time. “The match is thus postponed until further notice. Ulster fans on social media have criticised the lateness of the announcement, which happened within half an hour of the scheduled kick-off time.

A calm reminder of who they were doing for was the gist of the dressing room half-time talk that preceded Ballymacelligott’s outstanding second-half display. There was no roaring or shouting, it was all very simple, like, and I think they came out in the second half and they showed what they can do, like. “We probably left them back into the game, so we just had a chat, we said, just do what we've done in the first five minutes, if we can just bring that to the second half. “He dislocated his elbow,” reported Blake. Like, he wouldn't come off.”Midfielder Darragh Broderick was also in serious pain after a first-half collision with Barry McKenna but endured.

Ballincollig’s winning streak ended on 13 as St Vincent’s stunned the league leaders for the second time this season, 86-85. In all three losses this year, Ballincollig have led in the fourth quarter and let the game slip through their hands. Vincent’s deserve credit for another big win, as they seemed surprised themselves that they managed to win the game from the position they were in. Tralee get important 85-83 winSimilar to Ballincollig, a trip to UCD wasn’t ideal after beating them last week in Cork. Limerick Celtics get key winLimerick Celtics don’t deserve to be in a relegation battle and their big win over Sligo will help ensure that doesn’t happen.

On Friday, EU ambassadors approved a trade deal with Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay – but it still needs to be backed by the European Parliament. The agreement involves a trade deal between the EU and four Mercosur countries – Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. While Mr Ryan said he would have voted in favour of the Mercosur deal, the Green Party’s official line is in opposition to the agreement. People in Athlone, Co Westmeath, protesting against the EU-Mercosur trade deal (Cillian Sherlock/PA)Mr Ryan said: “This was very badly managed internally. “But I can’t imagine in Fine Gael that that position would have been taken without it being cleared.

FIFA has no plans to drop its new Peace Award, handed out for the first time to US President Donald Trump last month. Some had wondered whether the Americans' subsequent abduction of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, which came just weeks later, had triggered pause for thought at the headquarters of world football's governing body. However, that is not thought to be the case and insiders have instead disclosed that there will be a second recipient later this year. Next Monday, Miami Hurricanes will take part in the College Football Playoff national championship game, at the city's Hard Rock Stadium. Cheshire Police have called for witnesses after being called to a fight, with the boy left with serious injuries.

Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville was among the most vocal of critics, and the travelling Arsenal supporters certainly let their feelings about the former Manchester United defender's comments be known after Martinelli's hat-trick goal. It was Bishop’s first goal since August, and raised the decibel level inside Fratton Park even higher. Arsenal should have had the tie dead and buried by half-time but somehow went in with just a goal advantage. Martinelli was not going to miss a third big chance to grab a second, sliding in to finish from a fine pass by fellow Brazilian Gabriel Jesus. There was another welcome sight for Arsenal fans late on, with Kai Havertz coming off the bench for his first appearance since August having been sidelined with a knee injury.

Jack Ginnivan appeared lost for words after the Hawthorn star revealed the eye-watering price he had paid for a steak dinner at the pub. The 23-year-old medium forward said he had forked out $58 for a steak, some potatoes and a bit of rocket during the meal. ‘Just went to the pub and bought a steak - a few potatoes,’ a stunned Ginnivan said in a video posted on his Instagram. Proxima consultant Gemma Thompson told News.com.au that anticipated rises in the cost of living relate in part to government policy, regulatory determinations and volatility in agriculture. ‘Households and businesses need to plan for persistent pressure on essentials while being strategic about where genuine savings opportunities exist,’ Ms Thompson told the outlet.

John Fallon Cork City are closing in on appointing former Celtic midfielder Barry Robson as manager. City were rocked by the shock departure of Ger Nash two days before Christmas and last week enlisted ex-Leeds United and Preston North End boss Simon Grayson as an advisor to the board. He’s wasted no time in recommending Robson for the vacancy and it’s believed he visited Ireland last week to meet with majority shareholder Dermot Usher. The 17-times capped Scottish international is to start work in the coming days, with the first pre-season friendly scheduled for Wednesday against Waterford. His last managerial job was with Scottish Championship outfit Raith Rovers, where he lasted almost a year before departing last November.

Liverpool right back Conor Bradley is set to miss the remainder of the season with a significant knee injury suffered at Arsenal on Thursday night. The Northern Ireland international will undergo surgery in the coming days after going down in the late stages of the 0-0 draw at the Emirates, an incident which caused ligament and bone problems. Should Northern Ireland qualify for the World Cup in the play-offs, there is a chance Bradley could make it – but it is far too early to put a specific timeframe on his recovery. Conor Bradley suffered his knee injury in the closing stages of Liverpool's 0-0 draw at the Emirates on Thursday nightGabriel Martinelli sparked a mass confrontation by trying to push an injured Bradley off the pitchIt also is a timely blow for Liverpool who also have young centre back Giovanni Leoni out for the season. Striker Alexander Isak is also a long-term absentee while Mohamed Salah is away at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Darren Fletcher could play his sons Jack and Tyler in Man United's upcoming game vs BrightonSir Alex Ferguson playing Darren FergusonThe ultimate example of footballing nepotism is, in the eyes of many, Sir Alex Ferguson playing his son Darren - and it led to Roy Keane questioning Fergie's integrity. The young Ferguson managed 30 appearances in United colours before being shipped off to Wolves for £250,000 in 1994. Ferguson, managing Peterborough against Everton, could have created FA Cup history but refused to sub on Tyler despite losing 2-0. Sir Alex Ferguson famously played his son Darren Ferguson for Manchester UnitedTony Pulis playing Anthony PulisHaving your son at one club is suspicious enough. Clough scored 130 goals under his old man, winning the League Cup twice and the Full Members' Cup twice, and to this day remains their second-top scorer ever.
