    Ireland v Australia Lansdowne Road, 2.30 There's a feeling about that, of the Southern Hemisphere big three, Australia somehow strike less fear into Irish sides, and that the Wallabies themselves possibly find it easier to motivate themselves against, say, England.

    Argentina's Angel Cabrera drives off the 15th tee on his way to a four-shot halfway lead in Valderrama. All hope is not yet lost, but things are getting increasingly desperate for Padraig Harrington in his quest to be Europe's number one golfer. Indeed, it was indicative of the player's unease with his own game that yesterday he spent another thoroughly miserable time negotiating the cork tree-lined fairways - and too often in the trees - as he sought, but failed, to find the inspiration required to overhaul Retief Goosen in the race to the Order of Merit title. p

    Sideline Cut/Keith Duggan The final pity was that Mick McCarthy waited long enough to hear the voices of the people.
