Whats life like as a sports journalist?
Brendan Gallagher: I’ll talk you through today as an example. I’m in Dublin the day before the big game between Wales and Ireland. We had to be at Croke Park for 10 o’clock. Warren Gatland and the Wales team came down to do 10 minutes with the media. It was a beautiful morning and we were escorted into Croke Park, through the tunnel. The Wales team ran out, Stephen Jones and the kickers had some practice, and then Warren came over to talk to us. He sat there in the sun with ten journalists asking him one question each. By the time it got to me every question I wanted to ask had already been asked, which was really frustrating. At the end of the session the Welsh Press Officer said “Ok guys that’s enough,” and an old colleague of mine at The Times did what he always does and said “Just one more.” He caught Warren slightly off guard, and he came out with the best quotes of the day – about how this match was nothing to do with any personal feud between Warren Gatland and Eddie O’Sullivan,
