Louth boss Aidan O’Rourke clearly doesn’t think much of Lions coach Warren Gatland’s decision to leave Brian O’Driscoll out of the British and Irish Lions squad for Saturday’s crucial final Test with Australia.

Anyone who is into their rugby will be looking forward to the British and Irish Lions’ first Test match against Australia on Saturday morning.
It appears some local fans are particularly excited though after placing a toy lion – similar to the one carried on to the pitch before each game by the Lions captain Sam Warburton – up a tree on the Dublin Road.
It certainly made a few people take a second glance when spotted this morning. Thanks to Graham McNally for the picture.
