    I hear Gerry Thornley's twitter always has the Ireland XV 8 hours before it's officially named...

    I'd say any journalist tweeting news would be a tad self destructive. Best you could expect would be tweeting their latest article.

    Bernard Jackman, a bit quieter nowadays since his mover to France
    Michael Corcoran

    Every time the Irish go downunder, they get Michael Corcoran on NZ radio. Always makes a good impression.

    Corcoran is good. Also if you are a grassroots rugby fan (which you bloomin should be) then knockon are good to follow

    Tony Leen of the Examiner and Donn O'Sullivan (mainly Munster, Ireland and UL Bohs with a bit og GAA too) from the Limerick Post are decent enough too.

    Stephen Jones seems to use his Twitter to eulogise over the GP and **** over possible Anglo-Welsh games as long as they involve the old Welsh clubs like Pontypool, Ebbw Vale and Bridgend.
