This is one of the very few occasions where Leinster do not have a stronger bench than their opponents. They are the best club team in the world in the 1st & last 5mins of the half, that will be key today. They need to be leading well at 60mins. #LEIVTOU #LeinsterForADay

Went for a walk by the river this morning, Cork really can be incredibly pretty. #Cork

Chicken karaage, lemon & parmesan chicken wings, and a Japanese milk bun filled with chicken karaage, pickles and chilli kewpie mayo. #food

Harry Byrne is absolutely the right choice to start for Leinster tonight. He's been excellent all season and deserves the opportunity to show his stuff on a big stage. I hope he shoots the lights out. #LEIvLEI #INVESTECCHAMPIONSCUP

Chicken Foo Yung, with gravy #food

With the exception of a few individual performances, notably Odogbo & Casey, nothing about this has been good enough. Anything short of a convincing win against Gloucester next week and McMillan's new era will start to look more like another false dawn for @Munsterrugby #BATvMUN

JJ Hanrahan has been far better this half but Munster still making way too many basic errors, there's been a complete breakdown of fundamentals. There's serious questions need to be asked about Munster's on-field leadership and decision making without Crowley. #BATvMUN #SUAF

Fried chicken burger, marinated in buttermilk with pickle juice & Tajin seasoning, with cheese, pickled shallots & a garlic & sweet chilli mayo in a seeded brioche, and a side of super crispy chicken tenders with homemade ranch. #food

Perfect roast potatoes, the simple trick that works every time is to make sure you get a multi award winning chef to make them. #food

Some pics from my walk on The Old Head of Kinsale this morning. #Cork

Smoke on the water on the way to Kinsale this morning. #Cork

This is a super bougie fish burger made with a beer battered hake fillet, homemade ranch dressed rocket leaves, double melted cheese & prawn cocktail burger sauce made from scratch with diced poached prawns in a seeded brioche bun. #food

Cooked some Japanese food tonight. Pork belly, slow cooked, lightly brushed with soy & togarashi. I trimmed the ends & cut them into pieces, fried them off & used the rendered fat to cook the egg for my fried rice. #food

Driving on a back road from Courtmacsherry to Timoleague, you can look out your car window and see a view like this. If it were a painting you'd probably think it was almost too pretty. #Cork

In West Cork, on a road that goes nowhere, is a monument to a man who voyaged to the end of the earth. It proves that where you're from places no restrictions on where you can go. #Cork

I had 15mins between rugby games to cook some food, chicken chow mein was the perfect choice. #food

Mack Hansen has a lot of truly special talents, but by far and away his most impressive talent is his ability to look like like a roofer from Tubbercurry. #IREvAUS

That was Ireland's best try of the night, super kick and contest to set up the play, controlled possession, recycling quickly, forcing Australia to scramble back into defensive position until a gap opens and Doris powers through. Great conversation from Crowley too. #IREvAUS

It says a lot that people are raving about the one tackle that Prendergast made, and saying nothing about the two big ones he missed, we're lucky that only one lead to a try. We've seen nothing from him we haven't seen before, no sign of improvement in problem areas. #IREvAUS

Second half I'd like to see us take the ball to the line more, look to suck in the Australian defence for 3 or 4 phases so when do go wide or kick in behind we have a better chance of getting something from it instead of contesting 50/50s. #IREvAUS

Once you set aside the Hansen hatrick hysteria (and he's been superb) this is a 5 point game. We're not controlling the game, we're living off a few excellent moments. This is a decidedly average Australian team at the end of a long hard season. I'd give us a 6 #IREvAUS

Double smashed cheeseburger with pancetta and grilled onions. #food

Warm chicken sandwich of lemon & oregano chicken in smoked paprika mayo with cheese & lettuce in doorstop toast. #food

Another sold-out crowd in Cardiff, the loyalty of Welsh rugby fans in the face of continued losses and poor performances combined with the ineptitude and mismanagement of the WRU is truly amazing. These fans deserve so much more. #WALvARG

If that was my job, I'm not sure I'd wear white gloves

90s style cooking with, Chicken Monsieur, chicken breast wrapped in pancetta, then finished with a cheese sauce over the top, then flashed under a grill with some vintage cheddar and served with garlic mushrooms prerequisite potato wedges. #food

As long as our lineout is an utter shambles we will struggle to implement any sort of game plan no matter who the opposition is. However, the better the opposition is the more we will be punished for it. #IREvJAP

I'm done being impressed by how good a hooker is on the wing or how many tries they score, if you can't throw the ball into the lineout and hit your man, you're no fucking use to us. #IREvJAP

Why is no one in the media questioning how Trump claims to know nothing about people receiving presidential pardons for very serious crimes? There was uproar about Biden supposedly using an autopen to sign pardons, but no one cares that Trump doesn't even know who he pardoned.

If I had any talent for Photoshop, or even a vague idea how to use it, I'd create a picture of a light sabre with a foot-long Subway meatball sandwich for a handle.

Some photos from a deserted Fountainstown beach this morning. I had the whole place to myself to have a little walk and find a spot to sit for a while. #Cork

A take on the famous Rigatoni Al Segreto from Ginos in NYC, by adding homemade Italian fennel, onion & black pepper sausage. I'm generally against messing around with classic recipes but this really does work. The finely minced sausage complements the sauce. #food

Used up the rest of my puff pastry to make caramelised balsamic onions & parmesan sausage rolls. #food

Some pics from my walk in Fitzgerald's Park on Sunday morning. It's so wonderful to have a beautiful place like this in the heart of the city. It feels like you're in the middle of the countryside, not the middle of the 2nd biggest city in Ireland. #Cork

Ultimate leftover cooking, chicken pot pie with puff pastry top made from the leftover roast chicken and a sauce made with the roast gravy and extra cheese sauce from the cauliflower cheese. #food

Some pics of Nohoval and Robert's Cove and one of my big head blocking the view.

Fried fish sandwich, cod fillets in panko breadcrumbs, seasoned with parsley, togarashi seasoning and blitzed parmesan rind, a mustard tartar sauce, two slices of melted cheese and a seeded brioche bun #food

Some more pics from my walks around Cork harbour. It's wonderful to see so many people enjoying the harbour but I do miss the days I had these places virtually to myself. #Cork

Crosshaven being very pretty this morning.

Crosshaven and Myrtleville, you can keep your Cote D'Azur, I'll take this every time.

Beautiful West Cork plaice landed that morning, dredged in flour, dipped in egg and gently fried in olive oil, butter and lemon juice and finished with scallions #food
