It’s a big weekend of sport ahead with the quarter-finals of the World Cup set to commence on Friday, the final round of the All-Ireland football qualifiers kicking off on Saturday and the Leinster final replay between Galway and Kilkenny set for Sunday.
There are several clashes over the weekend with Roscommon’s qualifier with Armagh and England’s match with Sweden both set to coincide with each other while Russia’s quarter-final with Croatia will overlap with Fermanagh and Kildare’s qualifier in Pairc Tailteann.
Irish fighter Richie Smullen will fight on the preliminary card of the UFC’s Ultimate Fighter finale on Saturday morning while Francis Nagannou will now fight Derrick Lewis at the UFC 226 co-main event after Max Holloway withdrew from the fight on Thursday with concussion like symptoms.
