Episode 988: Part-Time Coach Wanted For Ireland Women’s Rugby Team, US Murph On The Cities No-One Wants To Play In, De Bruyne De Terminator

The IRFU has advertised for a new head coach of the women’s rugby team – but it’s a part-time job for just 6 months, a state of affairs which has understandably led to quite a bit of anger and disappointment.

A kick in the teeth for players. So much progress made by other nations and we take 5 steps backwards. https://t.co/vQIGZmRcTP

2-time Six Nations winner Ailis Egan retired at the end of the World Cup earlier this year, and she is in studio to tell us why this is about money, but also about the will of the IRFU to really promote the women’s 15’s game.

We talk to US Murph about the start of the NBA season, and the American cities that no-one wants to play in. Plus there’s young employees being taken advantage of, and Kevin de Bruyne as a terminator with a peaches-and-cream outer endoskeleton.
