As he reveals in his new book “All In”, Jamie Heaslip has never really gotten along with Eddie, but there’s a bit more to delve into than that. We talk to him about what it’s like to get a red card against New Zealand, why the 2013 loss to NZ shaped Ireland’s future, why he believes in science, and the importance of being friendly.
