Episode 1585: Sexton Ready For Russia, Shane Horgan On Our Kids Picture-Book Attack, McCarthy’s Injury Crisis, Nervy Man Utd

Tue 1st Oct 2019
Eoin, Ken, Murph, Simon, Shane Horgan, Gerry Thornley

The repercussions from our defeat to Japan continue, but so too does the competition, regardless of our introspection, and now a bonus-point win over Russia on Thursday is a non-negotiable.

Shane Horgan and Gerry Thornley join us (14.45 mins) to talk about the 11 changes in the team named this morning, with Johnny Sexton captaining his country for the very first time. Shane didn’t spare Ireland in print on Sunday, and he doesn’t spare them today.

Pat Kenny has some rallying words for those of us who feel two games in five days might be a bit much for Garry Ringrose, and Ken lambastes Eoin for his twisted priorities… before warning us (6.30 mins) of a dire injury situation ahead of Ireland’s two Euro 2020 qualifiers later this month.

Plus there’s analysis of Man United – Arsenal’s bore draw (46.00 mins), the charge of the light brigade, sleepwalking into the apocalypse, and the Kobe sauna.
