Van der Flier later recalled Farrell’s words: “Get some big moments and try to get more involved. “It might be the wrong word but before then I would be happy for our best ball‑carriers to take charge,” Van der Flier said.

Put your NI saving into your pension for big rewards at retirement
How much could putting NI saving into a pension boost YOUR pot? The amount is then boosted again by pension tax relief, and grows at an annual investment return of 5 per cent. Impact of putting 2p NI cut in the Budget into your pension (Source: Evelyn Partners)Impact of putting 4p NI cut from the Autumn Statement and the Budget into your pension (Source: Evelyn Partners)How much do you need to save for a decent retirement? Paying into pension mitigates against income tax risesLucie Spencer says this pension saving tactic is especially powerful at the moment because of frozen and falling income tax allowances and thresholds since 2022. This is because contributions benefit from tax relief at the earner’s marginal - or highest - rate of income tax.

Big Tech performance raises questions over whether stock markets are overheating
US stocks’ torrid climb to start 2024 is evoking worrisome comparisons with past boom-and-bust cycles on Wall Street, sparking debate over the risk that the market is overheating. Yet, there are signs that the strength, based in large part on the economy’s resilience and robust corporate earnings, has not turned into a speculative frenzy. Several of the so-called Magnificent Seven stocks have sputtered, showing that investors are not throwing money at the market with abandon. Scott Chronert at Citigroup also notes that the seven megacap tech firms contribute roughly 20% to S&P 500 earnings, which he says largely justifies their market capitalisation weighting of about a third of the gauge. The relentless demand for the group’s shares drew parallels to the speculative frenzy surrounding internet stocks at the turn of the century.

Ollie Lawrence: Win over Ireland was inspired by hurt from Scotland defeat
Ireland remain in the driving seat but the standout win of Steve Borthwick’s 20 Tests in charge means their dream of completing back to back Grand Slams is over. Marcus Smith kicks the winning drop-goal against Ireland (Mike Egerton/PA)“We’re happy with the win. Coming to Twickenham, back home, it was really important for us to bounce back after the Scotland game,” said the Bath centre, who scored the first of his side’s three tries. All we can do is go to France and try to win that game. “We will probably look back and rue that result against Scotland.

Family and care referendums comprehensively defeated
Video: Bryan O'BrienTwo referendums on the definition of family and the role of care have been comprehensively defeated, as Taoiseach Leo Varadkar admitted the Government failed to convince the public and was given “two wallops” by the electorate. The referendum on family – which proposed extending the definition of family to those based on durable relationships as well as those based on marriage – was defeated with 67.69 per cent voting No. The referendum on care – which proposed deleting the reference to a woman’s life in the home and a mother’s duties in the home and replacing it with a recognition of care within the family – was also heavily defeated, with 73.9 per cent voting No. Party leader Peadar Tóibín said Mr O’Gorman has “serious questions to answer now in relation to this”. In Cork East, where turnout was 42.49 per cent, 31.73 per cent voted Yes, with 68.27 per cent voting No.
