Podge Collins is an outstanding hurler, an All-Star and an All-Ireland winner. He talks to us today about Clare’s flying start to the 2018 league, finding motivation and perspective from the adversity endured by his friends and family, and why the addition of a few big men to the Clare forward line could mean more room for him.

We also talk to Dermot Corrigan about what the hell is happening at Atletico Madrid as they lose another of their star players, Yannick Carrasco – and this time, it’s to the Chinese Superleague. With just 17 players in their squad and Griezmann rumoured to be going to Barcelona, how did the larder get so bare for Diego Simeone… and why is he being so zen about it all?

Plus we talk big man/little man combinations (of course Quinny – Kevin Phillips get a mention), El Nino getting old and why brilliant little ‘uns will always beat good big ‘uns.
