SEASON Two of Netflix’ Six Nations documentary ‘Full Contact’ dropped on Wednesday…and it won’t be long before it drops out of the Top 10 trending list.

SunSport watched the entire season so you don’t necessarily have to with only three main takeaways to emerge from it.
1: We’re barely in it!
Despite Ireland again winning the bloomin’ thing, showrunners opted to spend far more screen-time with England and Scotland stars.
Marcus Smith is very much the golden boy as you sense they pinpointed him as the most intriguing character given he is meant to be on the cusp of superstardom.
That he plays for England and its far bigger audience than Ireland or Wales can’t have hurt either.
If you’re only interested in seeing snippets from the Irish camp you can safely skip on to episode five which is entitled ‘Eyes on the Prize’.
The last episode, ‘The Final Reckoning’, also features Irish voices a bit but only as it recaps all six teams so it’s more in a ‘And in the end Ireland won again’ way than anything more substantive.
2: Peter O’Mahony’s garden is even more impressive than his Instagram would have you believe
The real star of the show. And no, we’re not talking about the Munster bruiser.
In a generous comparison to a far more entertaining programme in Come Dine With Me, you do at least get to have a proper snoop around his Cork home, garden and shed.
At one stage he amusingly muses on what lies ahead over the forthcoming few weeks while eyeing up his shears and calmly stating ‘Ready for war.’
Unfortunately, Netflix haven’t shared any shots from Chez O’Mahony in its trailer or accompanying promotional photos.
3: The additional ref mic moments are the best bit
POM is front and centre here too as he goes full schoolboy in a desperate act to avoid being sin-binned for as blatant a slowing down of a ruck you’re ever likely to see.
Showing his years of experience (and passable acting chops), the 35-year-old wears his most innocent face while gently asking the official: “Sir, was I off my feet? I apologise sir.”
Half of O’Mahony’s scenes are set amid backdrops like thisIn defence of the documentary makers, it’s been widely reported that players and coaches weren’t willing to share too much with Tadhg Furlong on the record over his hesitation about giving away ‘rugby IP’
While it is a fresh perspective for us the viewer, Nika Amashukeli has clearly seen and heard it all before.
He immediately swats O’Mahony aside and tells him to give him some space before ultimately approaching him and explaining why he’s being shown a yellow card.
All in all, we’d brandish a red card at this entire underwhelming offering.
It doesn’t take long at all to see why Netflix have cut their losses and already announced that there won’t be a season three.

NESTLE has announced plans to axe a popular bar range from Irish stores – and chocolate lovers say they’re “gutted”.
The Vegan KitKat is set to be taken off the shelves in the coming months.
KITKATThe treat was a popular choice among vegans and those with lactose intolerance[/caption]
In a recent statement, the chocolate brand Nestlé revealed plans to remove the Vegan KitKat from shelves in Ireland and other countries.
And vegans and those who are lactose-intolerant have been left disappointed by the news.
The snack, made with rice milk, was sold in 15 European countries and became a favourite among many chocolate lovers in Ireland and the UK.
Launched in 2021, the vegan KitKat was created in response to strong demand for a dairy-free version of the classic chocolate bar.
It also helped Nestlé’s Net Zero goals for 2050, with a carbon footprint 18 per cent smaller than the original.
But Nestlé has now said it’s pulling the bar due to lower-than-expected sales, making it too complex to keep producing.
There’s no specific date for when it’ll disappear from Irish stores, but it will be available “until the summer.”
A spokesperson from Nestlé explained that global demand had dropped so much that production became increasingly difficult.
They said: “We know that the vegan KitKat has been popular for those looking for dairy-free or vegan alternatives.
“Unfortunately, global demand has been reducing to the point that production was making manufacturing more and more complex and we have now made the difficult decision to discontinue the product.
“We know there will be some disappointment, however it will still be available in the UK and Ireland until the summer.”
The decision has sparked some disappointed reactions online from Irish chocolate lovers.
One person wrote: “I’m lactose intolerant so it was one of the only bars I could enjoy. I’m gutted.”
Another said: “I must buy one nearly every day, there’s definitely still a market for it.”
Discontinued doughnut
This comes after Krispy Kreme has confirmed it has discontinued a classic doughnut – as shoppers ask “who’s eaten them all?”
In an official statement, a Krispy Kreme spokesperson elaborated on the decision to discontinue the original glazed jam doughnuts.
They said: “The decision to retire this traditional favourite for the time being was not taken lightly, but the good news is we’ve got a fresh new range of doughnuts and we’re confident that you’ll find a new favourite amongst them.”
Despite the end of the cult favourite, doughnut lovers can look forward to two new flavours – s’mores and rocky road.
The S’mores come with marshmallow flavour filling and are topped with chocolatey icings, marshmallows and biscuit pieces.
While the Rocky Road is covered in chocolate icing and decorated with vanilla-flavoured frosting, cookies and marshmallows.

TUNNELS underneath the city of London that were built to be a WWII shelter are set to be transformed into an £120million attraction.
Having been built in the 1940s, the mile-long tunnels lie beneath Holborn and Chancery Lane.
ReutersAbandoned underground tunnels in London are to be transformed into a new tourist attraction[/caption]
Not known, clear with picture deskMuseums and exhibits could transport the tunnels[/caption]
An underground bar is also part of the plans
However, they were never used for their purpose, having been completed in 1942 after the Blitz ended.
Their biggest claim to fame was being home to spy headquarters in 1944, which is where James Bond author Ian Fleming worked.
It was said to be what inspired him to create the Q Branch.
However, it has been left abandoned since the 1970s.
And they could soon be transformed into a huge attraction open to the public called The London Tunnels.
This includes a museum space, as well as an exhibition hall and entertainment zone.
An underground bar as well as themed James Bond events could also be part of it.
The website states: “The London Tunnels will use the history hidden beneath our feet to deliver new experiences that inspire exploration and imagination.”
The plans have been created by British architects at WilkinsonEyre, who also created both the new London Battersea Power Station and the Gardens By The Bay in Singapore.
Chief executive of The London Tunnels Mr Angus Murray said it was “very emotional” being underground, where you can feel the London tube trains running overhead.
Expecting to cost around £120million, it hopes to welcome as many as three million people a year.
This would see it welcome similar tourist numbers as the London Eye which opened 25 years ago.
The redevelopment of the tunnels were approved by authorities last year.
An official opening date is yet to be confirmed although it hopes to open by late 2027.
Free for editorial useThe exhibit could also have “immersive, multi-sensory” exhibits[/caption]
Tickets are expected to cost around £30 when it opens.
Mr Murray added: “In London, if one thing works, it’s tourism.”
The tunnels were used for a number of other purposes before they were abandoned.
The tunnels operated the first Transatlantic telephone cable, TAT1.
This later acted as the hotline between Moscow and Washington the during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

SHE has gone from TV fashion guru to a multi-million pound beauty entrepreneur thanks to Trinny London – the cult make-up venture she founded just eight years ago.
Now frank-talking Trinny Woodall is set to share her business brain with new-starters who want to follow in her lucrative footsteps as a guest dragon on Dragons’ Den.

AlamyShe first burst onto the scene with her pal Susannah Constantine, as they judged people’s fashion choices[/caption]
And if they want to channel Trinny’s incredible success they are big boots to fill.
New accounts, filed at Companies House shortly before Christmas, revealed her beauty brand racked up an impressive £56.7 million worth of sales in the year to the 31 March 2024 – its best year to date.
Since founding digital-first Trinny London in 2017, she has successfully scaled the business into a global brand that has sold a wide range of skincare and make-up products in 180 countries, with retail stores in the UK, Ireland, US, and Australia.
When Trinny, now 60, recommends a product on social media its sales rocket – proving her unrivalled power in the beauty business.
Savvy Trinny pocketed £33.2 million in the UK alone, as well as £17.4 million from the rest of the world and £6.1 million from the rest of Europe, according to sales breakdown figures in the financial statements.
Not bad for a former TV star who, a decade ago, was battling to save her home after a divorce wrangle and the death of her ex-husband left her facing a legal battle over is £300,000 debt.
Named Sarah Jane, the savvy star gained the nickname Trinny after she was sent home from school, aged five, for cutting off another girl’s plait – leading family friend and St Trinian’s creator Ronald Searle to liken her to a mischievous St Trinian girl. The name stuck.
She and pal Susannah Constantine rose to fame as fashion and makeover experts, writing a weekly column for the Daily Telegraph – Ready to Wear – highlighting affordable high-street fashion.
The pair used themselves to demonstrate clothing that suited different figures.
The pair often shocked fans with their brash criticisms and put-downs
They were soon snapped up by the BBC to host What Not to Wear -aimed at helping improve the nation’s dress sense.
The show was a huge hit – not least because of Trinny and Susannah’s trademark ‘boob-grabbing’, where they guessed participants’ bra sizes just by feeling their breasts, and their often ruthless analysis of guests’ fashion faux pas.
Even Trinny’s co-host Susannah has admitted the show would not be made today, telling Radio Times: “It was of its time and came along at the right moment, but it wouldn’t work today and I can understand why.
“People are fed up of being told what to do.”

But Trinny’s own daughter Lyla Elichaoff, had a more brutal analysis of her mum’s show telling Tatler: “I think they would be cancelled if the show was made now.
“You can’t really speak to people like that any more, and say things like: ‘You’re so ugly.’”
Personal tragedy

Getty - ContributorTheir split and his eventual death led to one of the most bizarre court cases in the UK[/caption]
Despite the huge wealth Trinny has now accumulated she has suffered her own fair share of tragedy and financial woes which led to one of the most bizarre divorce settlement battles of all time – from beyond the grave.
Trinny was married to entrepreneur Jonathan Elichaoff for ten years and had daughter Lyla before they divorced in 2009.
As part of the divorce settlement, it was allegedly agreed that Mr Elichaoff would pay his estranged wife £24,000 a year in maintenance costs as well as repaying a loan from the TV fashion expert totalling £1.4 million.
It was later revealed that the businessman had been declared bankrupt just before the divorce was finalised, which meant that the original settlement was rendered null and void.
In 2014 Mr Elichaoff took his own life. In what a spokesperson for the TV presenter then described as a “nightmare” situation, Trinny was then being pursued by the trustee in Mr Elichaoff’s bankruptcy for the debts he left behind when he died.
The creditors owed nearly £300,000 by the businessman claimed that as the wealthier party at the time of the divorce – due to Mr Elichaoff’s undisclosed bankruptcy – Trinny should have actually been paying her husband maintenance.
But in 2016 the case was rejected by the High Court – preventing Trinny from being pursued for the debt.
Talking about her money woes on a recent podcast she said: “So, there was that period when the life I thought I would create for myself had not… I had been earning a lot of money, I bought this big house,mortgage, everything.
“I had this big overhead and then I wasn’t getting the revenue in, so I couldn’t afford the big life.”
Getty - ContributorTrinny dated Charles Saatchi for over a decade, splitting in 2023[/caption]
Booming business
The following year Trinny – who was then dating billionaire Charles Saatchi – made the move which was going to make her serious cash, setting up online make-up brand Trinny London.
It boomed during COVID when stores were shut and customers hit online sites with a vengeance – and was valued at £180m by Forbes in 2021.
Since then it has grown with 2024’s business review reporting: “During the year Trinny London Group has continued its strategy of delivering incredible products to its customers, focusing on personalisation, education and engagement, and has delivered a strong set of financial results.”
It increased its headcount of staff to 221 from 204 upping the salary of its highest-paid director – presumed to be Trinny – to £361,321 from £309,086, as well as amassing £10.4 million worth of stock and netting as much as £41 for new shares in the business sold to investors.
The company’s growth is seemingly driven by Trinny’s restless desire to get fresh new products into the hands of her customers.
Trinny and Susannah's most savage quotes
TRINNY Woodall and Susannah Constantine were a TV duo who never shied away from speaking their mind. Some of their most savage comments have come under fire in recent years.
On what showing off a bare midriff at work says about a person: “I look available and I’ll sleep with anyone to try and work my way up. There’s certainly no other reason why I should be promoted.”
Writing about what a party dress says, they wrote: “I’ll be more than happy to let you peer down my cleavage just so long as you keep your hands to yourself. Once you’ve met me you won’t want to leave my side.”
Speaking to Tatler in the 2000s, Trinny said: “Avoid pink lipstick if your teeth are yellow or if you are over 45 – what looks great on a young model can look muttony on older women.”
On who gets fashion and beauty wrong, Trinny said: “Soap stars who think that fake tan will cover up a late night. Fake tans should really be avoided in general.”
When a woman tried on a pink cardigan on What Not to Wear, Trinny said: “You look like an old woman trying to look young.” When the woman asked: “Mutton dressed as lamb?”, Trinny responded: “A little bit. For you that’s impossible but you’ve managed to succeed.”
Upon meeting a social worker, Trinny asked: “Sometimes you are mistaken for a bloke, aren’t you?” She then asks if the woman has ever had sex and if she’s gay.
Susannah to a female vicar: “Just because you wear a dog collar doesn’t give you the excuse to look like a dog’s dinner.”
After meeting a woman who underwent breast reduction seven years prior, Susannah said: “Huge knockers.” Trinny agreed adding: “Bouncing up and down.” After watching her in a pub, they pair tell viewers: “She’s a fagger, a boozer, and a slob.”
Her firm is busily registering multiple product trademarks at the Intellectual Property Office, applying in November 2024 to secure the rights to sell goods under Eyetallics, Miracle Halo and Miracle Sun brands.
The proposed new product lines set to join internet sell-outs Flush Blush, Eye2Eye, Just Joyous and Energise Me and Lip Glow, among others.
Trinny has long been a champion for female entrepreneurs, launching an elevator pitch series on Instagram in 2019, where budding female founders can explain their business to her 1.4 million followers.
And she is keen to help other budding entrepreneurs as a guest dragon saying she believes it is important as an entrepreneur with a business that is growing to help others.
She says: “If you can succeed in a tough economic climate, you can easily succeed in a good economic climate.
“Although it might be the most challenging way to launch a business, I think it also gives entrepreneurs the greatest chance to thrive, because if you can break through when you’ve got the odds against you, you’ve really built something solid.”

1 week agoLatest NewsComments Off on Experts Warn Against Plant-Based Milks for Kids & Teens: “Not Nutritional”
In a surprising move, national health and nutrition organizations are calling out plant-based milks, in addition to other beverages, as an inadequate source of nutrition for kids and teens in the U.S.
Experts from four prestigious academies—the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Heart Association—were recently brought together to deem which drinks in the American diet are healthy for kids and teens ages 5-18, and which should be either limited or avoided altogether.
Some beverages, like energy drinks and sodas full of artificial sweeteners, were obvious for the panel to denounce as unhealthy for young people. But, they also stated that plant-based milks, such as almond, oat, and coconut milk, are not a nutritious choice. This has both parents and the plant-based community raising eyebrows.
The Best and Worst Drinks for Kids & Teens, According to Experts
Healthy Eating Research (HER)
The expert panel behind the new recommendations, released yesterday, was organized by Healthy Eating Research (HER), a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), a non-profit on a mission to "improve children's nutrition and prevent childhood obesity."
The advice is meant to provide clarity around sugar, caffeine, and other ingredients in popular drinks on store shelves, and whether or not these are suitable for kids, teens, and their growing needs.
In their research, the panel chose only two drinks to recommend as healthy and nutritional options for young people: water and plain milk.
"All of your child's hydration needs can be met by drinking water," the report states. "Unsweetened, unflavored, and fluoridated water is best. The recommended water amounts are: 40 fl oz per day for 5-8 year olds, 61 fl oz per day for 9-13 year olds, and 88 fl oz per day for 14-18 year olds."
For plain milk, the panel recommends "unsweetened, plain, pasteurized milk" to compliment kids' and teens' water intake. "Milk is primarily recommended because it is a good source of nutrients that kids are often lacking (protein, calcium, potassium, vitamin D). If your child does not drink milk they can also get these nutrients by eating dairy foods such as yogurt and cheese."
Three categories of drinks, in particular, were called out for being the worst options for young people: sugar-sweetened beverages (like sports drinks, soda, juices, etc.), drinks with non-sugar sweeteners (diet soda or anything containing artificial sweeteners like stevia or aspartame), and beverages with caffeine or other stimulants (coffee, tea, energy drinks and shots).
"New research has shown us that even small amounts of caffeine can cause delayed sleep, increased amounts of depressive moods and anxiety, and other mental health issues that are really problematic for young teens," Megan Lott, deputy director of Healthy Eating Research, told NPR. There are also "case studies of kids and teens coming into ERs who had cardiac events as a result of too much caffeine."
Why Plant-Based Milks Are Under Scrutiny
The three drinks that the recommendations suggest should be limited in young peoples' diets are 100% juice, plant-based milks (such as oat, almond, coconut or other alternatives), and flavored milks (like chocolate or strawberry).
"100% juice means that everything in the container comes from a fruit or vegetable with no added sugars or artificial ingredients," the report states. These should be limited to no more than 4-6 fl oz per day for 5-8 year olds, 6-8 fl oz per day for 9-13 year olds, and 8 fl oz per day for 14-18 year olds.
Given their high sugar content, flavored milks should be thought of as a "treat," the recommendations say, and "not a daily drink."
But, when it comes to plant-based milks, the advice is more nuanced.
"With the exception of soy milk, plant-based milk alternatives are not recommended as a nutritional substitute for cow’s milk, as even fortified varieties do not contain the key nutrients that kids and teens need to grow up healthy," the report states.
"Plant milks also often contain other additives, including added sugars and non-sugar sweeteners that offer no nutritional benefit."
The panel advises that plant-based milk alternatives should really only be a daily option for kids and teens if they have a dairy allergy, are vegan, or can't drink milk for other medical reasons.
"A lot of [plant-based milks] have very little protein in them," explained Lott. "And somehow, people are giving them to their kids thinking they're an alternative to cow's milk." She told NPR that their lack of vitamin D, calcium, and riboflavin mean they "aren't even close" to the nutrition that plain milk offers, and if parents are choosing to give their kids plant-based milk, they should also be consulting with a pediatrician or a dietitian to make sure their full dietary needs are being met.
In response, Marjorie Mulhall, a senior policy director for the Plant Based Foods Association, wrote to NPR: "We respectfully disagree with the premise that plant-based milks should be limited based on nutritional comparisons to cow's milk... Some vitamins in conventional dairy milk are added through fortification, similar to how plant-based milks are fortified. Many plant-based milks offer excellent sources of protein, calcium, vitamin D, and other important nutrients that support children's health and development."
What Nutritious Drinks Should You Buy for Your Family?
Of course, water is an obvious choice to fuel you and your kids' daily hydration needs. And with all their natural energy, kids and teens don't need caffeine to help them power through their day.
Plus, the research speaks for itself when it comes to drinking sugary beverages and how unhealthy they can be for anyone—regardless of age. A new study published in the journal Nature Medicine found that sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), such as soda and lemonade, were globally responsible for 2.2 million new type 2 diabetes cases and 1.2 million new cardiovascular disease cases in 2020.
Now, when it comes to whether or not you and your family should be drinking plant-based milk alternatives, it's important to do your due diligence by reading the nutrition labels of the grocery products you intend to buy.
Our sister site, Eat This, Not That!, provides a helpful list of the healthiest non-dairy milk alternatives in grocery stores nationwide, which have been vetted by nutritionists. Better-for-you plant-based milks have short ingredient lists, plenty of protein, and are low in added sugars.
The plant-based milk options to avoid contain added sugars, oils, and emulsifiers like gums that are considered ultra-processed ingredients. Steer clear of these for your family's benefit.

THE HISTORY OF LIDL IN IRELAND
LIDL first opened in Germany in 1973.
Back then, it employed just three people, stocking 500 product lines.
The first Irish store, located just off Molesworth Street in Dublin, was opened in 1999.
This was Lidl’s first entry into the Irish grocery market.
Then, Lidl opened more stores in 2000, in Limerick, Letterkenny, Mullingar, Athlone, Cavan, Ballinasloe and Portlaoise.
Now, the retailer has over 180 stores and three distribution centres, employing over 6,000 people.
They work with a network of more than 260 Irish suppliers from the communities they operate in.
