Word is coming in that Frankie is to be cleared of charges. No official announcement yet but it is expected at lunchtime. Fantastic news and a victory for sports playing asthma sufferers everywhere.

Now, where's Neil Francis......

BTW the team to face Scotland looks very strong:

Ireland: G Murphy, A Horgan, B O'Driscoll, K Maggs, D Hickie, R O'Gara, P Stringer, M Horan, K Wood, R Corrigan, M O'Kelly, P O'Connell, E Miller, D Wallace, V Costello.
Replacements: S Byrne, S Best, S Easterby, K Dawson, G Dempsey, D Humphreys, G Easterby.

Close to full strength except for Foley, Gleeson & Humphreys
