MUNSTER Supporters Club “posted” a response to Johnny Sexton after he joked about becoming a Reds season ticket holder.
The 39-year-old cracked the gag in response to being asked about how he felt about his World Cup nemesis being Leinster-bound.
Speaking at his first appearance as a member of Andy Farrell’s British and Irish Lions coaching staff, Sexton played down the seriousness of his former club snapping up Rieko Ioane on a short-term deal.
When asked on Monday about the Kiwi’s impending arrival, he replied: “I purchased my Munster season ticket last week, put it that way.”
Now, the good folk at the province’s official club fan club have responded by taking Sexton up on his remark.
They shared a mock-up of a season ticket pass with his name on it.
The amusing social media post was captioned: “Great to hear from official Lions Rugby that we have a new member for next season. Your card is in the post Johnny. SUAF.”
In his autobiography, Sexton lifted the lid on the row between the pair after Ireland had lost to New Zealand in the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
He wrote that, after referee Wayne Barnes blew the final whistle, Ioane said to him ‘Don’t miss your flight tomorrow. Enjoy your retirement you c***’.
Sexton responded by calling him ‘a fake-humble f*****’.
Auckland native Ioane reignited the row after the All Blacks beat Ireland last November with an Instagram post with the caption ‘Put that in the book’.
And Ioane admitted that he might have to win over a few people when he lands in Dublin later this summer.
He said: “By all my friends’ accounts, it’s about 50-50 at the moment. We’ll try to get that to 60-40 in my favour.”
At that same press briefing, the longtime Irish 10 offered some blunt words of advice to the two young men now fighting for the national jersey.
Sexton knows a thing or two about the level of scrutiny which comes from the territory, from his tussle with Ronan O’Gara in the early part of his career.
The attention on Sam Prendergast, 22, and 25-year-old Jack Crowley – neither of whom made the Lions squad – has been amplified in the digital age.
The Rathgar man emphasized: “They’re just so young. You’ve got to give them a chance to learn and experience these things, but the level that they are producing already in their careers is amazing really.
“They’re so far ahead of where I was and they’ve got the world at their feet with the work ethic that they have.
“They’re humble guys, they do want to learn, they want to practise hard and that’s the thing that you look at the most as a coach.
“One thing I disagree with is some of the narrative around it in terms of there’s obviously a split in the country in terms of Munster-Leinster and I’ve been there before.
“I’ve been in that situation and with social media getting bigger and bigger it’s tough on them at times and it shouldn’t be like that.
“We should be supporting whoever’s picked and getting fully behind them. I told them to delete social media.”
AN ABANDONED 34,500-seater football stadium that had been tipped to host Euro 2028 matches has received a new boost after landing £50million in funding.
Belfast’s Casement Park was initially selected as a host stadium for the upcoming tournament.
It saw Northern Ireland join England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland as a host nation.
Plans were afoot to rebuild the ground to a 34,000 capacity in time for the competition.
But Northern Ireland was axed as one of the host nations due to funding issues over Casement Park.
The national team currently plays at Windsor Park, which holds 18,000 fans.
However, Uefa requires all grounds for major tournaments to hold at least 30,000 spectators.
And failure to find the funding for Casement Park ended Northern Ireland’s hopes of hosting Euro 2028 games.
But now, the overgrown arena has been given a major boost after receiving £50m towards a £260m rebuild.
That money has come from the government, according to the BBC.

And it has finally been confirmed that the funds will not have to be repaid, with the £50m being provided as an “equity stake” and not a loan.
Despite the cash boost, the redevelopment of Casement Park is still not fully financed.
£260m is required for a full rebuild, but the Gaelic Athletic Association can only find £120m on top of the government’s £50m – leaving a £90m shortfall in total.
Casement Park used to be a top stadium for hurling and Gaelic football matches.
Tens of thousands of fans used to cram in for matches.
But the venue shut down in 2013 and has since been left abandoned.
Now, the derelict site has received planning permission to be modernised and early demolition work has begun.
LOOSE Women star Nadia Sawalha has revealed she’s “devastated” after a friend and co-star was axed from the show amid the brutal ITV budget cuts.
It was recently reported that as of next year Loose Women will drop its live studio audience as part of a series of cost-cutting changes.
Now Nadia, 60, has confirmed the huge change and told how it means one of her friends will no longer have a job on the show.
Speaking in her latest YouTube video with husband Mark Adderley, she said: “From next year there will be no Loose Women audience.
“I am totally devastated by this fact, I can’t get over it at all. Not only because the audience is so important for the show, but also my dear friend Lee who I work with every day.”
Comedian Lee Peart has been the Loose Women warm-up act since 2017.
Last month it was announced that Loose Women will air for only 30 weeks of the year from January.
The shock move came as part of broader budget reductions across the channel, which also included halving Lorraine’s airtime to 30 minutes and airing it only during school term times.
Nadia’s fellow Loose Women star Kaye Adams recently broke her silence on the chaos at Loose Women, admitting she’s had sleepless nights over the cuts.
Speaking on her podcast, How To Be 60, Kaye said she felt as though ‘the rug had been pulled’ from underneath her.
The 62-year-old confessed: “It did come out of the blue.
“I didn’t anticipate it, which is probably stupid in retrospect. You get into a sort of rhythm of life.
“I had a couple of sleepless nights I have to say, because it’s just like the rug’s been pulled from under your feet – what has been familiar.”
Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes to run from 6am to 9.30am daily.
Lorraine will run from 9.30am-10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year.
During the weeks Lorraine is not on air, Good Morning Britain will run from 6am to 10am.
This Morning will remain in its 10am-12.30pm slot on weekdays throughout the year.
Loose Women will be in the 12.30-1.30pm slot, again on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year.
The changes will take effect from January 2026.

BRITISH holidaymakers are being warned they could be walking straight into a “perfect storm” – all thanks to a surge in romance scams targeting tourists abroad.
Across the UK, Brits are getting ready to start their summer holidays, packing suitcases, booking last-minute flights, and looking forward to relaxing in the sun.
But behind the scenes of holiday fun and relaxation, there’s a growing threat many aren’t aware of.
Experts warn that criminals are preying on travellers’ emotions — using carefully crafted lies, fake love stories, and emotional manipulation to scam unsuspecting victims.
This summer, many people risk facing heartbreak and devastating financial losses if caught off guard.
The warning comes as fraud analysts raise the alarm across popular tourist destinations like Spain, Greece and Italy, where scammers are increasingly preying on vulnerable British tourists.
Scammers know that when people go on holiday, they let their guard down.
They’re more open to making connections, more likely to share personal details online, and often unfamiliar with local customs.
This makes them ideal targets for fraudsters who want to win their trust fast – then drain their bank accounts.
Romance scams are no longer rare or isolated.
In fact, last year alone, over $1.3 billion was lost in romance scams in the US, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
UK cases are steadily climbing, with victims often too embarrassed to speak out.
And these scams don’t just play out on dating apps.
Criminals are lurking on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and even LinkedIn.
They’re also showing up in travel forums, Airbnb experiences, and WhatsApp groups – ready to charm their way into someone’s confidence.
Holiday romances might sound like harmless fun, but if someone you’re chatting to online says they love you after two days, wants to talk about marriage before you’ve even met, or keeps cancelling plans to meet up, alarm bells should ring.
This kind of fast-forward intimacy is often a tactic known as love bombing – a classic move used by scammers.
Other red flags include people who ask for money in emergencies – whether it’s for a stolen passport, hospital bill or a sudden need to book a flight.
It’s always urgent, and it’s always fake.
If someone insists you keep the relationship secret or pressures you to switch conversations to private apps like Telegram or WhatsApp, that’s another sign something’s wrong.
McAfee has also warned about a rise in scams tailored specifically for the summer travel crowd.
One common trick is the “travel buddy” scam, where someone meets you on a travel app or forum and suggests tagging along on your trip.
Once you book flights or accommodation, they either disappear or show up expecting you to foot the bill for everything.
Then there’s the “local lover” con – a charming local sweeps you off your feet, says they want to visit you in the UK, but needs help covering visa fees, insurance or a plane ticket.
These stories are carefully scripted to tug at your heartstrings – and your wallet.
Another risk comes from “digital dating” scams abroad.
If your dating app suddenly starts buzzing the moment you land in a tourist hotspot, it’s probably not a coincidence.
Scammers use geo-location tools to target tourists in areas known for high visitor traffic, knowing people are often more emotionally open and less cautious when travelling.
And in a modern twist, the “crypto Casanova” scam is becoming more common.
Here, someone builds a connection with you, casually mentioning their success with cryptocurrency.
Before long, they’re offering to help you invest – but the platform they guide you to is fake, and once you send money, they vanish.
While all of this might sound like a warning to avoid holiday romance altogether, McAfee says the key isn’t fear – it’s awareness.
Travellers are being urged to stay smart online.
That means not sharing too much personal information, especially travel details like hotel names or flight numbers.
Never send money to someone you’ve only met online, no matter how convincing their story sounds.
Trust your instincts, but also use your head – if something feels off, it probably is.
If someone claims to be in the same country as you but only replies in the middle of the night, that’s a possible red flag.
Likewise, if you’ve had a few drinks, think twice before sending sensitive messages or clicking on suspicious links.
Scammers often take advantage when people are relaxed and not thinking clearly.
Always tell a friend back home who you’re talking to.
A second opinion can often spot things you might miss.
And avoid using public Wi-Fi to access sensitive accounts or dating apps – use a secure VPN if you need to connect while travelling.
If you suspect you’re being scammed, act quickly. Cut off all contact without warning or explanation. Block the person immediately and report them to the platform. If you’ve already sent money, inform your bank as soon as possible – they may be able to help.
And most importantly, don’t stay silent.
Scammers rely on shame to keep victims from speaking out. You are not alone, and you’re not foolish. These criminals are skilled manipulators with tried-and-tested tactics.
HEARTBREAKING tributes have poured in for a young Irishman who died suddenly while holidaying in Bali earlier this month.
Jack Power, aged in his late 20s, passed away “suddenly” on the stunning island, which is a province of Indonesia, on Thursday, June 5.
The tragic dad-of-one originally hailed from Carrick-on-Suir in Co Tipperary but had been living in Co Kildare before his passing.
In heartbreaking notice online, his family confirmed his passing.
It read: “Deeply regretted by his loving mother Caroline, father Owen, beautiful daughter Melania, loving sister Anastasia, brothers Harry and Conor, grandparents Helen and Gerry, uncles, aunts, niece, nephew, cousins, relatives and friends.”
Jack’s funeral details will be announced at a later stage but his family has requested that any desired donations go to The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust.
The charity helps people across the country to bring home their loved one’s following death abroad.
It is understood they are assisting the Power family.
Jack’s heartbroken brother Harry has set up a GoFundMe campaign in hopes of raising enough money to repatriate his sibling’s body.
He said: “I’m raising money towards the funeral costs of my beloved brother Jack Power.
“Jack passed away suddenly and we need to fly him home to give him the send off he truly deserves.
“Please can everyone share and donate any amount is greatly appreciated. All funds will go towards the funeral costs and go directly to Jacks family. Thank you.”
The ‘Jack Power‘ campaign has so far raised €18,421 out of its €20,000 goal through 359 donations at the time of writing.
Heartbreaking tributes have been pouring in online as news of Jack’s passing continues to shock and devastate the local community.
One mourner said: “Jack you were such a kind gentle person always had a smile and a big heart.
“Rest in peace my love always have a place in my heart look after your mum and family their hearts are [broken].”
Another added: “No words. What a loss. What a beautiful person.
“World is a sadder place without you Jack. I am so so sorry for your loss Caroline and family.”
A third said: “Rest in Peace Jack. What a lovely young man you were. Will be missed by all who knew you.”
A fourth told how Jack was “a lovely boy” who is “gone too soon”.
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY are not allowed to pay transfer or loan fees until 2027 after continually failing to pay their staff and players’ wages on time.
EFL bigwigs have slapped the Championship club with a three-window punishment which starts immediately… while the Owls are also under a transfer embargo until they cough up and bring salaries up to date.
Owner Dejphon Chansiri, currently subject to a separate personal misconduct charge, has exceeded 30 days of late payments between July 1 2024 and June 30 this year.
An EFL statement read: “In accordance with EFL regulations, the restriction will cover the entirety of this summer’s window and thereafter winter 2026 and summer 2026.”
The club, however, has notified the EFL of its intention to appeal the decision, which will be heard by an independent disciplinary committee.
If that is unsuccessful the Yorkshire side will not be able to pay any fees until January 2027, which is sure to exasperate boss Danny Rohl, who has had a difficult relationship with the Thai owner.
At the weekend it emerged that Rohl had been ordered to cut short his summer holiday and return to Sheffield now to start preparing for the new season or face a hefty fine.
The pair have clashed for some time and Rohl was unhappy that the businessman failed to back him properly in the January transfer window.
He believed that cost the club a play-off spot as they finished 10 points adrift of the top six.
Chansiri has been an unpopular figure at Hillsborough for some years with fans staging several protests against their owner.

The Thai businessman even attacked the fans’ criticism in a long, rambling message – branding them “selfish”.
Key player and captain Barry Bannan, who is due a testimonial, is believed to be considering his future at the club and is set to leave if his wages are not paid soon with newly-promoted Wrexham keen to snap him up.

FROM appearing on Operation Transformation at 27 stone to trying brutal low-calorie diets, Mark Fearon has struggled with his weight for the past 15 years.
But the Dublin man has told how using a new fat jab has helped him to shed the pounds and maintain his weight loss, saying: “Where have you been all my life?”
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) has been growing in popularity in Ireland over the last few months.
By activating GIP and GLP-1 receptors, Mounjaro slows down the emptying of the stomach, making you feel fuller for longer and reducing appetite.
And Mark, from Stepaside, told how while his weight has “crept” up over the years, he’s starting to see real results with the drug.
Now weighing 19 stone, 47-year-old told the Irish Sun: “Ever since then I have been trying to lose 10 stone and I have gotten the weight down but never the 10.
“The weight kept creeping back and ever since then I decided I had to do something about it.
“Weight loss is obviously one of the main side effects of Mounjaro, as I lost 27lbs in just six weeks.
“I’ve lost weight quickly before but this is different, I’m actually eating loads of calories.
“I am having around 2,500 calories a day so I am not starving myself.”
Mark, who appeared on hit RTE show Operation Transformation back in 2010 before it wrapped up in 2024, revealed how he has since gained more energy and an active lifestyle while taking the injection.
He said: “When I tried to lose weight before, I would eat very few calories, but this resulted in me having very little energy.
“So this time I am actually eating enough calories to keep active, so I am actually in the gym all the time.
“For the first time losing weight, I am actually feeling great doing it, I’m not feeling deprived.
“I’d eat well during the week and then at the weekends I’d love takeaways.
“Pizza and burgers being the favourite but there isn’t much I wouldn’t enjoy eating.
“It’s amazing, but the urges for these foods are just gone being on Mounjaro.
“Without Mounjaro I’d be saying, ‘Well I had a burger so there’s no point eating well for the rest of the day’ and would throw in ice cream and chocolate. Now I eat without any urges of a binge.
“In the past six weeks I have eaten out a few times where I had a pizza and a burger but the difference is that I had them and that satisfied me.”
Speaking about the side effects, he said: “I get heartburn a bit more but I just pop two Rennies and it’s gone.
“Obviously, there is the risk of stopping taking it and putting the weight back on but is that not the case with every single diet?”
And Mark hit back at the haters calling it the “lazy way out” as he revealed he has so much energy that he does not even watch television anymore.
He said: “I’m up at 5am every morning before work so I can go to the gym and this is while I’m losing serious amounts of weight.
“The big difference with Mounjaro is I am still able to eat, but I eat what I need, no more, as the desire to overeat is gone.
“I have so much energy now and it has made me so active that I don’t even watch TV anymore, as when I sit down all I want to do is get up and be active.”
When asked on the financial aspects of the weight loss jab, Mark said he was “just swapping one thing he spent money on for another” in relation to takeaways, dinners and drinks.
He said: “I’d spend easily €50 per week on takeaways, plus throw in tubs of Ben and Jerry’s.
“Mounjaro costs me €250 per month from the North. This includes the monthly consultation, the Mounjaro and the tracked delivery to my home.
“The greatest thing about the price is that no matter the higher dosage you go on, the cost stays the same.
“And that cost is easily what I spent on food I didn’t need to eat and no longer do on Mounjaro.”
Mark said he has full support from his doctor, adding: “I do get my Mounjaro from the North but my GP is fully aware of it and is also very supportive of me being on it.”
Mark has been sharing his weight loss journey for more than 15 years on Facebook, Instagram and more recently on TikTok.
He said: “I get a lot of private messages from people asking questions especially about Mounjaro.
“Some people want to do it, but really do not want anyone to know.”
Like any medication, weight loss jabs can have side effects.
Common side effects of injections include:
But Mark has no shame or secrecy when it comes to his journey and said his family have been “very supportive of him”.
He said: “I have been trying for 15 years to get my weight to a place I’d be happy with.
“I set myself a target of losing 10 stone, then I’ve never accomplished it, I’m now 19st 13lbs and I’ve lost 27lbs in six weeks on Mounjaro.
“I know I will get to my goal of that 10 stone down now with the help of Mounjaro.
“My friends and family know how important that is to me, and they are very supportive of me being on Mounjaro.”
The latest weight loss drug was only approved for use in Ireland in early 2025, being licenced for use as a treatment for both type 2 diabetes and obesity.
And Mark is not the only Irish person seeing big health changes since trying the fat jab.
Irish mum Sandra Keogh spent hundreds of euros every month on Doritos as her eating “addiction” spiralled out of control.
The former weight loss consultant, 37, said she needed to urgently make a change but had already tried all of the usual routes.
She said: “I felt unable to find the will to care what I was shoving in my mouth.
“It was compounded by the fact that I knew what I should be doing I just felt useless. I had to try something else.”
But she had a light bulb moment one day after sitting down to watch a bit of reality TV.
The Cavan woman said: “I had heard about Ozempic from watching The Real Housewives and a lot of them have been taking it, as you can imagine in the US.
“So after a while when I heard about availability here, I went and spoke to my doctor because I haven’t had diabetes but I just needed something.
“I knew what had to be done, but I didn’t have the willpower or the motivation to do anything.
“I started Ozempic in November 2023 after the doctor thought it was a great idea.
“I was on it until February this year and when I heard Mounjaro was coming in, I was eager to swap because I had lost 33 pounds on Ozempic and I kind of had stalled.
“When I heard that Mounjaro was going to be approved for weight loss here in Ireland, I thought, ‘Right, I’m going to try and get it’.
“I started taking it on the 25th of March and I began losing weight again.”
LOVE Island fans have begged producers to “send home” one couple, after branding them “fake”.
It comes after the pair got together at last night’s recoupling, but viewers at home aren’t buying their romance.
Last night it was up to the boys to pick who they wanted to “couple up” with.
Shea was the last boy to pick and he had the choice of three girls – Toni, Yasmin and Malisha.
After making his recoupling speech, it was then revealed he had picked Yasmin.
However, fans immediately called out the new couple claiming they are “fake” and should be “sent home”.
Taking to X/Twitter one fan said: “Yasmin and Shea need to go home next and pronto.”
While another added: “The producers messed up with this. – Toni and Malisha were needed in this villa. Yasmin and Shea are taking up space #LoveIsland.”
This one vented: “I need Shea and thirsty ass Yasmin out asap when we get to vote.”
Another added: “Shea personality is too dry for Yasmin! He’s only a place holder for her until she finds someone better.”
Meanwhile, today dumped Islander Blu hinted his simmering feud with Shea is in full swing with a swipe after his show exit.
The construction worker was the first evicted lad last week following a savage villa twist.
In a tense stand off about who would leave the villa, Blue left on frosty terms after a clash with bombshell Shea.
The boys got into a heated row as they battled it out to stay, coming face to face as they argued their case.
During the face off, they traded insults and The Sun told how the bad blood continued off-screen, before Blu was chosen by his Love Island co-stars to leave.
Back on home turf, Blu has taken a fresh dig at his love rival with a video posted to his Instagram grid.
It showed him coming face to face with a lamppost, standing in a similar way to he did with Shea, as he shouted at the black post.
In the video caption, he wrote: “POV You and Shea around the firepit,” before he added on his grid: “I left.”
The significance of the inclusion of the lamppost came after his Love Island 2025 cast co-star Tommy branded Shea a “lanky lamppost” when he kissed his partner Megan in a challenge.
Departures:
