"The most combustible event in Irish sport this year won't be one of Ireland's Six Nations games. It won't be the habitually cantankerous Ulster football final or any of the molten Munster hurling championship fixtures either. So far as Six One potential goes, it isn't any of the League of Ireland's febrile Dublin derbies or a World Cup play-off in March, should we win in Prague, or even - however unlikely - a Conor McGregor comeback bout."

The most combustible event in Irish sport will not be one of Ireland's Six Nations games. It will not be the habitually cantankerous Ulster football final or any of the molten Munster hurling championship fixtures. It will also not be any of the League of Ireland's febrile Dublin derbies. A potential World Cup play-off in March, contingent on a win in Prague, does not hold that distinction. An unlikely Conor McGregor comeback bout likewise does not represent the most combustible event. The most combustible event therefore lies elsewhere among Irish sporting occasions.
