‘It’s literally the coolest thing ever’ – Joe McCarthy taking great joy from brother Paddy’s Ireland progress

Joe McCarthy was at the announcement that Aviva Ireland has agreed a five-year extension to its naming-rights agreement for the Aviva Stadium and for its partnerships with the IRFU and FAI.

He started a Lions tour but didn’t finish it. He didn’t play the All Blacks in Chicago but his brother did.
