Baloucoune’s finishing for Ireland’s third try capped what Farrell described as being up there with the best team try his Ireland side has scored. Osborne was one of 14 Irish players to contribute to the eight-phase move along the way. “Andy alluded to the intent factor last week and how it wasn't really there,” said Osborne of that French defeat. And I know there's a lot to work on, but we can be pleased with the intent part of the game.”

Arsenal's have no 'superstar' players, according to Wayne Rooney - and that could derail their title challenge.

'What I think is happening is, the Arsenal fans, ex-players coming out, they are killing them. I don’t think they have, but they know how to win games, and they’ve shown that over the last three years.' Carragher had said shortly before: 'Arsenal have got a great mentality, but when I watch Arsenal, I don’t think they’ve got an absolute superstar in the front four or five players.

Antarctica is home to many mysteries, but one of the strangest is an enormous 'gravity hole' deep beneath the ice. The vast gravity hole, known as the Antarctic Geoid Low (AGL), is the product of incredibly slow rock movements, according to the experts. Scientists have known for years that there is a mysterious 'gravity hole' in Antarctica where the sea level is 420 feet (130 m) below the surrounding water. Once their predictions matched the best current data from gravity–sensing satellites, they wound back the clock and watched as the gravity hole formed over aeons. The Antarctic Geoid Low is not the only massive gravity hole on Earth.

The climate action plan sets out the State’s long-term emission cutting goals and the measures needed to achieve them. This plan provided “a strong framework for delivery of climate action”, the spokesperson said. “The delay in the carbon budgets also means that the next update to the Climate Action Plan is also delayed,” they said. “The primary focus of CAP26 (Climate Action Plan 2026) has to be on bringing forward new, additional and accelerated actions to deal with overruns in the current carbon budget.
