Irish rugby legend Ronan O'Gara gets POOED ON live on Sky Sports after Lions' epic comeback win over Australia
RONAN O'GARA was given an unwelcome gift by a bird while LIVE on air. Irish rugby legend O'Gara was working as a pundit for Sky Sports during the British and Irish Lions clash with Australia earlier today. 5 5 5 5 5 However, a winged viewer flying by decided that the 48-year-old's coat needed some extra decoration. And while he stood alongside colleagues discussing Hugo Keenan's last-gasp winning try, Will Greenwood spotted that O'Gara had been POOED on. He said: "Oh a bird has just pooed on Ronan." The group then shared a laugh at O'Gara's expense as he frantically tried to find where Greenwood had pointed it out. A voice can then be heard saying: "That's lucky for some but not for Ronan." Fans behind the panel also poked fun at O'Gara for the unfortunate incident. Greenwood then adds: "La Rochelle are going to win the European Cup." O'Gara eventually laughs off the incident, though we expect his coat to receive some TLC to remove the poo. And while the unusual present might not be seen as too lucky by O'Gara, the Lions certainly did find some luck in their match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. They moved 2-0 over Australia in the series, but only after coming back from 26-17 down in the 53rd minute. Keenan's late winner has now set the scene for a potential clean sweep when the sides clash again at the weekend.

I found my childhood diaries - people are surprised by what I did with them
Most people have kept a diary at some point in their lives. Whether it be to detail descriptions of their crush in school to logging burning aspirations of what they want to be when they grow up. There's no doubt that leafing through the pages years later can be met with a wave or nostalgia, heartbreaking sentiment or leave people cringing. But for actress Sarah Maria Lafferty when she stumbled upon old diaries she did something unexpected with them. She turned them into her craft. At this summer's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Lafferty will perform a one-woman show called 'How to Become a Movie Star?' and bring the pages to life. Speaking to Daily Mail, ahead of the start of the festival on Friday, she revealed what it was like reading back through the diaries. 'What I found most surprising was how my core personality as a seven-year-old is so similar to me today. When I didn't get cast in the lead role as the princess in my debut play, but instead as princess #4, it really bothered me,' she said. 'However the core motivation was that I loved to perform and to be in the spotlight, so it was this primal desire to deliver when the lights are brightest which drove me to want the lead role,' she added. Lafferty, who previously lived in New York and is now a teacher in Dublin, has taken the funniest stories from her acting career and turned them into the show that she has written, produced and will star in. She draws on experiences from first being cast as that princess in the school play to appearing on Irish TV RTÉ 1 drama 'Seven Women' and performing on Broadway in 'Fáinne Óir' - a music and dance extravaganza choreographed by Riverdance star Ciara Sexton. 'How to Become a Movie Star?' is a comedy about the adventure of living an actor's life and follows its main character's unique plan to become a movie star by training to be a teacher. Lafferty kept a diary for much of her life, and it took months of sifting through the pages to find and rewrite the funniest parts of her story. Despite it being somewhat autobiographical Lafferty has changed the names of some of the characters. Lafferty said: 'I've a large collection of diaries and I'm always writing new entries. A few years back, it occurred to me that there were some funny stories that could make a play. 'I wanted to write a show that celebrates the pursuit of a dream. This isn't about an obsession with celebrity or fame, but about a love of acting and performance. 'I know it's a cliché, but for good reason, because life is about the journey and the pursuit of something special. I hope everyone in the audience can relate to chasing something seemingly impossible, but still enjoying the adventure. 'I'm often the butt of the joke myself, so I'm not afraid to own my mistakes, but that's what I think is relatable about the script,' she added. She added that against the backdrop of increasing social media, where people often record their thoughts, it is important to keep a diary as 'a unique way to make sense of your own life'. She said: 'I've always thoroughly enjoyed writing a diary. Whether it's a form of therapy, or just a historical record. 'There's something about a person's unique handwriting on paper, which is a form of communication that is uniquely enjoyable and personal.' Lafferty previously performed 'The Woman He Lived With' at the Fringe in 2022 and 'The Bad Daters' at the 2023 festival. 'How to Become a Movie Star?' will be shown at The Space @ Surgeons' Hall, Theatre 3 during the festival at 4pm on Aug 1-9, 11-16 and 18-23.
