Episode 902: Cork On The March, Kilkenny Dumped Out, The Lions Share, Pitch Invasions

After 4 years of build-up, 8 weeks of frantic touring, and 3 brilliant tests, the Lions and the All Blacks shared the spoils on Saturday morning. Shane Horgan suggests the success of the Owen Farrell and Johnny Sexton axis could be a lesson for how rugby is played in the future.
