Morning Bulletin: Headlines from the sports desk

GOLF

Rory McIlroy is two shots behind the leaders going into Day 2 of the Players Championship in Sawgrass.

The World number one is 3 under after a 69, Hideki Matsuyama , David Hearn, Charley Hoffman and Kevin Na share the lead on 5 under.

Padraig Harrington will start his day 1 under while Graeme McDowell and Shane Lowry are 1 over .

McIlroy says he's targeting low scores - though he knows it's an unpredictable place to play:

CRICKET

Ireland face England in a one day international from 10.45 this morning although rain may stop play as showers are forecast.

England will field an inexperienced side - with many senior players unavailable due to their recent Test tour of the West Indies.

Ireland batsman Ed Joyce - who used to play for England - reckons it'll be a tight contest.

RUGBY

Leinster welcome Treviso to the RDS tonight needing a win as they look to qualify for the Champions Cup next season.

Kick off is at 7.35pm

Leaders Finn Harps will host Waterford United in one of three 8pm kick-offs in the second tier.

Meanwhile, the Championship play-offs will get underway tonight.

Brentford's surprise sixth-place finish has earned them a play-off semi-final tie against Middlesbrough, who narrowly missed-out on automatic promotion.
