The highlights were shown on BBC Breakfast on Saturday so I guess they decided the local news had more important things to show - like some policeman being dunked into a pool of water outside the City Hall

(fecking stupid local media coverage of rugby as always...

<-- grumpy faced chick)

Aye - and you didn't see it on UTV - some guy from the Garda Siochana was on that wee plastic seat with a guy from the PSNI and they were dunked together. Weird - maybe it's cross community relations or something - dunk the police forces in water!

I think the highlights were shown on UTV tonight weren't they? But even still the country's most succesful sport doesn;t get the attention it deserves!

ack now, in fairness, the CL game would have been covered on Saturday - it was three days ago..

The policemen being dunked was in relation to the launch of the torch run by the Civic Guards and the PSNI for the ALL IRELAND SPECIAL OLYMPICS which are being hosted in Belfast this year.
It a fairly important event and one which should be getting all our support.

The torch is being carried by some of the athletics and members of the local forces, starting in Cork and coming North.

But yes the BBC and UTV do us proud as always.....but today is Monday and two days have passed since the Ulster match.

Radio Ulster yesterday morning (Monday). The gospel according to Mrs Grumps who heard it.

(unnammed) Sports reporter reports on Munster's heiny win and finishes with the thought that in future years, Ulster might do similar.

Wendy Austin adds "again"

Reporter "corrects" her to say, "no, it was Munster who won, not Ulster"

Wendy points out that Ulster have won it previously

Reporter argues that they haven't

Wendy points out that he is a SPORTS reporter and should go and check his facts

Mrs Grumps switches off, not wishing to intrude on BBC internal grief.
