Ireland v Fiji
Thomond Park hosts the Flying Fijians tonight for their friendly international against Ireland. Get terrace tickets for two adults and two children for €30. Kick off is at 5.30pm.
IFI French Film Festival
If the last French film you saw was Betty Blue, skipping lectures for a matinee with Beatrice Dalle, it’s probably time you saw another. While this afternoon’s IFI screening of the 1986 classic, introduced by Ms Dalle herself is, not surprisingly, sold out, there is plenty more on offer at the institute’s French Film Festival, until next Sunday.
