Kerry press pause on five-in-a-row; Decision time for Joe Schmidt

Kerry pressed pause on Dublin's five in a row as yesterday's All-Ireland football final ended 1-16 apiece. Dean Rock missed a free from the sideline with the last kick of the match after Killian Spillane's second half goal headed a Kerry revival against the 14 men of Dublin. The dismissed Jonny Cooper was given only a 2/10 in the Dublin player ratings, while Sean O'Shea of Kerry received a nine in the Kerry ratings. Read through the timeline analysis here, and this piece on the key role of Jack McCaffrey who scored 1-3 from wing back.

The Ireland coaches met on Sunday and are due to meet again this morning before Joe Schmidt contacts those 10 players in the existing 41-man squad who won't make the cut for the Rugby World Cup. The 31-man squad will be submitted to World Rugby on Monday but unlike almost all others, the names won't be announced until next Sunday, the day after the final warm-up game at home to Wales on Saturday. Liam Toland isn't reading too much into Ireland's win over Wales, but believes next Saturday's repeat fixture in the Aviva will be a real test of Ireland's cohesion.

Tottenham had led yesterday's North Dublin derby 2-0 after Harry Kane added to an early Christian Eriksen strike but Arsenal hit back to claim a point through Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. In his column this morning, Ken Early explains how Spurs have failed to frank ambition with their marquee signings: "In the end, all they did was patch some holes that had opened up in the team, with Tanguy Ndombele replacing Mousa Dembele six months after he left for China, and Giovani Lo Celso looking suspiciously like the long-term replacement for Christian Eriksen."

Meanwhile Sanita Puspure won gold for Ireland at the World Rowing Championships, adding it to the silver of the Ireland double scull of Philip Doyle and Ronan Byrne to make it a wonderful day for the Irish. In all Ireland amassed two golds, a silver and a bronze. Four boats were qualified for the Olympics.
