Following my previous post on the subject, it’s good to see that my absence is proving a catalyst for unparalleled achievement in Irish sport.
Whatever about an Irish grand slam, Saturday’s result with Leinster winning the European Cup proves beyond doubt that I am a talisman of doom for any team unlucky enough to be the subject of my affection…. I’ll have to stay away a bit longer 
It’s also very bad news for the Mariners….
And notable the man of the match was an Aussie!
Sigh… yes he was pretty impressive all year (particularly when he arrived everyone suspected he was going to be called “Harvey Norman” – one year, no interest
)
Hope all is well in New York!
