Of course, Alan Hughes was not letting Kearney get away with his Chicago recollections without mentioning 'The Veep'. Kearney explained:
"It started off as quite loose and a weird connection and then Joe came to Ireland on a state visit and myself a Dave met him and then he invited the two of us over to The White House. We went over in the summer and met him there, and the relationship has gone from strength to strength. "It was pretty cool. I spoke to him after the game and he had watched it. He's actually a pretty big rugby fan."What a legend. We knew Biden should have taken a run at The White House. https://twitter.com/CarlingfordIRE/status/747557609595604992 Kearney featured in the return game against the All Blacks, on November 19, and the 27-24 win over Australia but he sustained blows to the head in both fixtures. He is set to miss this weekend's Guinness PRO12 action but he hopes to be back in time for the Champions Cup. He said:
"Everything is fine. I picked up a bang in the head and went off for the HIA. But I had also picked up a bang to my head in the second All Blacks game so I think the medics made the decision that it was wiser not to let me back on. In the age of head collisions, now, you can never be too careful. "You're really disappointed that you couldn't finish out the game but, at the same time, it could be a hell of a lot worse. Hopefully I'll only be out for a week or two."Biden will be keeping tabs, we're sure.

Brilliant footage shows Toulon doing training drills on Dublin street ahead of Leinster loss
This is great! Ahead of their Champions Cup semi-final against Leinster this afternoon at the Aviva Stadium, Toulon were seen training in a rather unusual spot. Instead of a field or the gym, they were filmed on a Dublin street doing maul drills, while others causally tossed the ball around. It is unclear exactly where […]
