:21:01. > :21:02.the recent 3,500 dead in Northern Ireland as the result of the
:21:03. > :21:08.troubles, with the unfinished business of dealing with the past,
:21:09. > :21:12.some people find this challenging and perhaps understandably so.
:21:13. > :21:14.Thousands have died in Ireland since 1916 in a history that is complex
:21:15. > :21:15.and challenging. we'll be inside the GPO in Dublin
:21:16. > :21:19.on tomorrow evening's programme. when the biggest commemoration
:21:20. > :21:23.will be taking place, we'll be live with a special
:21:24. > :21:31.programme from O'Connell Street. That's here on BBC One
:21:32. > :21:41.at 11.25 on Sunday morning. And BBC News NI has all of the
:21:42. > :21:42.Easter Rising news reports and features in one location.
:21:43. > :21:47.He's still in South Africa, but BBC Newsline has tracked down
:21:48. > :21:49.Ulster Rugby's latest big-name signing -
:21:50. > :21:55.24-year-old Marcel Coetzee won't arrives in Northern Ireland
:21:56. > :21:57.until this summer, but he's been speaking to us
:21:58. > :22:01.exclusively in Durban ahead of his move.
:22:02. > :22:03.Coetzee has already played for the Springboks 28 times -
:22:04. > :22:06.and his departure from the Natal Sharks, where he was captain,
:22:07. > :22:10.has caused some controversy in his home country.
:22:11. > :22:12.He comes with a big reputation and is confident of making
:22:13. > :22:26.Another Springbok is preparing to make the leap to Ulster Rugby and
:22:27. > :22:30.Marcel Coetzee is relishing the challenge ahead. If it was a place,
:22:31. > :22:36.you know, our culture and the people, the rugby, I always said
:22:37. > :22:41.Ireland would be the place and so it worked out eventually. They phoned
:22:42. > :22:43.me right out of the World Cup and we started slowly but surely
:22:44. > :22:50.negotiating and they have been phenomenal. My wife was in all the
:22:51. > :22:54.way, so I think it was a great decision on our behalf. And the
:22:55. > :23:03.South African connection with also played a big part in his decision to
:23:04. > :23:07.sign. Yeah, immediately, we spoke a lot through Skype and face time and
:23:08. > :23:13.it was a very difficult decision for me but he ultimately made it very
:23:14. > :23:17.easy, and I have a couple of other friends there, it is basically like
:23:18. > :23:23.a second Sharks, if you can call it that. Support has been awesome all
:23:24. > :23:27.the way, they definitely played a huge part. He is an absolute
:23:28. > :23:32.passionate, passionate player, he never stops, he is a workhorse, he
:23:33. > :23:38.never gives up, he will carry as much as he can and he is a top, fit
:23:39. > :23:42.guy and he is young, he's very young, so he hasn't had a lot of
:23:43. > :23:47.injuries, so that is a great thing and I think the fans are going to
:23:48. > :23:50.love him. And Coetzee is willing to contribute where ever he is
:23:51. > :23:55.required. Whatever the team once of May, I will give it to them, whether
:23:56. > :24:01.it is six, seven or eight, I am happy to contribute to the team and
:24:02. > :24:05.its goal. As a personal goal for me, I would like to settle down and
:24:06. > :24:06.specialise on open side but if the club needs me at seven or eight, I
:24:07. > :24:08.am happy to oblige. The Northern Ireland squad trained
:24:09. > :24:11.at Cardiff City stadium today ahead of tomorrow's friendly
:24:12. > :24:12.against Wales. Manager Michael O'Neill has yet
:24:13. > :24:14.to win an away friendly but he says the mood
:24:15. > :24:23.in the camp is very positive. It is nice to be coming into this
:24:24. > :24:28.period looking forward to the finals, because you have a focus,
:24:29. > :24:31.particularly in these games and I think the players, just seeing them,
:24:32. > :24:35.they have enjoyed getting to see each other again and certainly the
:24:36. > :24:39.two days we have had, spirits have been very high. The last time we
:24:40. > :24:42.were together in November, we didn't even know the draw but now there is
:24:43. > :24:46.a bit more meat and bone and we are talking about preparation, what we
:24:47. > :24:49.expect of them and to be fair, they have been excellent. That is live on
:24:50. > :24:50.BBC Two tomorrow. In local football, the race
:24:51. > :24:52.for the Irish league title took a significant twist last night
:24:53. > :24:55.as top of the table Crusaders lost Adam Sally, on loan from Linfield,
:24:56. > :25:02.with the pick of three first half Paul Heatley's second half effort
:25:03. > :25:06.here saw Crusaders trail 3-2, but close to full time,
:25:07. > :25:08.substitute Ben Roy scored a fine individual effort to guarantee a win
:25:09. > :25:11.for Carrick, who go tenth Late in the game, Crusaders'
:25:12. > :25:15.Josh Robinson was red carded for this tackle in front of the home
:25:16. > :25:19.dug out and when the dust settled on the ensuing skirmish,
:25:20. > :25:21.Carrick manager Gary Haveron Despite losing, Crusaders
:25:22. > :25:38.remain top of the table - And golf, on day one of the world
:25:39. > :25:43.golf match play championship, Graeme McDowell this three down with three
:25:44. > :25:47.holes to play against world number two Jason Day. Rory McIlory tees off
:25:48. > :25:50.in half an hour. Let's go to Jeff now with the
:25:51. > :25:55.weather. Good evening. We have had some
:25:56. > :25:59.beautiful photographs over the last few days but as we go overnight
:26:00. > :26:03.tonight, it is all change because I am afraid the rain is starting to
:26:04. > :26:08.arrive. Gradually, the skies were cloud over from the west and the
:26:09. > :26:14.rain moves in overnight, spreading to all parts. Temperatures down to
:26:15. > :26:18.five or 6 degrees. It means tomorrow gets up to a soggy start, the rain
:26:19. > :26:22.will continue through the early part of the day. Gradually, it is going
:26:23. > :26:26.to clear to the south and east as the front moves through. Behind it,
:26:27. > :26:30.the skies. To fragment and we start to see some brighter spells
:26:31. > :26:34.beginning to open up as we go through the later part of the day.
:26:35. > :26:37.Top temperatures, nine, maybe 10 degrees, the Chancellor some decent
:26:38. > :26:42.evening brightness by the time we get to the end of the day but those
:26:43. > :26:44.clearing skies Thursday evening mean overnight, the temperatures will
:26:45. > :26:53.drop away quite markedly. In some room role areas, cold enough to see
:26:54. > :26:56.a touch of frost -- rural areas. Good Friday is off to a bit of a
:26:57. > :27:01.chilly start but it is looking like the best day of the Easter holiday
:27:02. > :27:05.weekend. Gradually as we go through the morning, some brighter spells,
:27:06. > :27:10.nine or ten the top temperatures, but it won't take long for rain to
:27:11. > :27:13.threaten again. That front moving in from the west later on. We are into
:27:14. > :27:18.some much more unsettled weather, this front coming through towards
:27:19. > :27:21.the weekend and behind it, this area of low pressure means we are going
:27:22. > :27:25.to see a good deal more in the way of strong winds as we go through the
:27:26. > :27:28.weekend. So the message is to make the most of Good Friday because
:27:29. > :27:33.Saturday is going to be very wet indeed, at least to start with.
:27:34. > :27:36.Gradually, that rain will clear away through the day. Certainly Good
:27:37. > :27:39.Friday the best of the next few days and by the time we get to the
:27:40. > :27:45.weekend, wet and windy. Thank you. I will be back at 10:30pm
:27:46. > :27:46.with the latest news. From everyone on the team, enjoy your evening.
:27:47. > :27:48.Goodbye.
