Intro

It was a disappointing weekend for Australian F1 driver Oscar Piastri as Max Verstappen won the Qatar Grand Prix. There are now only 12 points between Verstappen and Lando Norris in the battle for the championship. In rugby, Connacht and Leinster both secured wins in the URC while Munster's unbeaten streak came to an end in Thomond Park against the Stormers. And in the NFL, down native Charlie Smyth scored a 56-yard field goal on his first start for the New Orleans Saints.

Colm Boohig takes a look back on the weekend of sport.
