Episode 1485: Hannah Tyrrell On A Rapid Rise, 7’s Heaven And Battling Eating Disorders, James McClean On Raheem Sterling; Denmark Ireland Beef Encore
Hannah Tyrrell has already had a gilded sporting career. Having grown up as a Gaelic footballer, she represented her native Dublin and won an All-Ireland, before switching to rugby, winning a 6 Nations with Ireland and getting a full-time 7s contract.

She’s now a star with 7s and 15s, and she’s in studio to talk about existing in one of the only avenues in Ireland to be a professional sportswoman, and about the challenges she got there.

She tells us about her eating disorder and self harm that began in her teens, how close she came to death, and how sport kept her going and ultimately showed her a way out of a negative spiral.
