Gerry was hit by a van while on his bike in his native Limerick in the week of Ireland's crunch Six Nations clash with France and suffered a brain injury
Ireland star Conor Murray will warmly embrace a VIP in Nantes after tonight's Rugby World Cup clash with Tonga.
Fast forward to this week and Gerry took the ferry to Nantes on Thursday ahead of Ireland's second pool game - and in time to see his son earn a start against the Pacific Islanders."He's in good health and he's back golfing and doing everything he loves. It's great that he's able to do it." "They're hugely excited, it's probably the last one as well so they're definitely making the most of it.
Ireland's ever-reliable full-back Hugo Keenan is looking forward to another big occasion with around 15,000 Irish fans expected to provide a soundtrack to their heroes' efforts."There was green all over the stadium and we’re hoping for the same tomorrow here in Nantes. By the sounds of it, lots of Irish have travelled.
Geoff has also been a big help to James' wife, Arnica, who is following the Ireland squad around France with their baby son, Nico, who was born in April."He’s been an awesome granddad for the last couple of weeks while I’ve been away so my wife is very, very happy with him!".
