Once Upon A Time In The West is on TG4 tonight. A western masterpiece. The scene where you discover the reason for the hero's quest is quite possibly the most beautifully shot scene of cruelty in all of cinema.

1. Ulster 🧵 One of the major talking points in Irish Rugby that's flying under the radar is Ulsters finances. Results on the pitch are up and down and that's expected with such a young squad and the fact that their budget has been cut.
