Episode 1357: What’s Eating Leinster, Munster Attacks, Connacht Surge, Liverpool’s League To Lose, And Ole’s Relentless Positivity
It was a pretty dramatic Christmas of sport, between Liverpool going from confirming their title credentials, to title favourites in two hectic weeks, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer putting the fun back into Man United, and a little closer to home, a series of dramatic inter-provincial rugby games.
Light-hearted, light-headed: Liverpool looked an awful lot like a team enjoying themselves yesterday.
The big question now, I think, is how long that can last, and how this team changes when the pressure starts to tell https://t.co/NhDAPJc8YS
