Each weekend we take a look back on the sporting highs from across Ireland and around the world through the medium of numbers.
7
Tom Brady became the most successful American sportsman in history on Sunday night when leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to victory in Superbowl LV. It was his seventh NFL Championship, six of them with the New England Patriots and now with a team that needed his magic to win only their second-ever title.
38
It was the Guinness Six Nations highlight of the weekend when Stuart Hogg led Scotland to a first win over England at Twickenham in 38 years. Fully deserved as well.
9
Willie Mullins was the star of the show at the Dublin Racing Festival with nine wins over the two days. They included a near 6,000/1 five-timer on Sunday and an incredible six of the eight Grade One Races, including Kemboy in the feature Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup.
66
The number of minutes that Ireland had to play with only 14 men against Wales in the opening round of the Guinness Six Nations on Sunday. Peter O’Mahoney was given a red card early on in a game that was always going to be difficult but quickly became a mountain too high to climb.
30,000
The number of fans that attended the first day of the Australian Open in Melbourne. A memory of days gone by and a hopeful marker of how they will return.
