The Touchline covers Irish rugby at a provincial and international level. The site focuses on the PRO12, Heineken Cup and International rugby from an Irish point of view. I will try to keep the content to opinion pieces and analysis, rather than the match reports and news that you will find on plenty of other sites.
Interaction is greatly encouraged, so if you have anything to say, please feel free to leave a comment. If you’d like to contribute an article just contact me via the details on the ‘Contact’ page.

The header photo shows the old Lansdowne Road, the scene of countless unforgettable days in Irish rugby. The photo was taken by Brendan Rankin.
I’d like to take this chance to thank all of the photographers who have granted me permission to use their work. If you like any of the photos used on this blog, check the ‘Photos’ section at the bottom of each post. You’ll find links to more of the photographers’ work there.
Enjoy the site!
Hi Murray,
As it turns out we have some few things in common ! My son Garbhan ( Limerick FC ) has just started in UL doing English and new media. I have a huge interest in rugby and photography and could be a source for your blog. I post with framing but if this gives you any bother I can e-mail unframed versions if you ask.What I would love is press access to Thomond Park . I have the gear but no accreditation !
Wishing you all the best.
Liam.
Soon to post Castres v Perpignan Top 14 game from 31st December. See if you can fit in around Munster v Castres 14th Jan. We were lucky in my opinion they did not field full team against us . Their back row would frighten you !
