Episode 1683: Murray Mania, Dorris’ Day, Throw-In Turmoil, Davy Fitz’s Bitterest Feud Yet

Andy Dunne and Jerry Flannery talk to us about why he’s opted for evolution not revolution, why 21 year old debutant Caelan Doris isn’t a risk, and why 29 year old hooker Rob Herring is.
Two new players set to win their first cap on Saturday. Congratulations Caelan Doris and Ronan Kelleher. We’ll be cheering for you in @AVIVAStadium #shouldertoshoulder #GuinnessSixNations pic.twitter.com/iPfwD1dTRX
