McCormack and Kilkenny

It's clear that McCormack and Kilkenny are pretty close pals.

Watch the LUTV highlights and see Ross McCormack and Neil Kilkenny chatting and arms round shoulders as they walk out onto the pitch before the game starts.

Some of it would be that NK could produce those defense splitting passes for RMc, it's just a shame it never really happened for them to be on the pitch at the same time last year. Clearly the friendship was forged at training.

Both would have had wry smiles on their faces at the sacking of SG, for pretty much the same reasons.
