Episode 1714: Farrell’s Progress-O-Meter, Sexton Is Everything, Liverpool’s Wobble, Why Do Troy Parrott’s Managers Keep Slagging Him Off

Wed 4th Mar 2020
Eoin, Ken, Murph, Simon, James Coughlan, Shane Horgan

The Six Nations has the temerity to continue this weekend, without us. England play Wales and France play Scotland while we sit it out and have a long think about where we are headed.

Shane Horgan and James Coughlan join us to talk about the French reaction to the virus, how the foot and mouth disease almost ended some high profile Irish careers, ROG V Sexton Part III, and, given Gatland, Eddie Jones, Declan Kidney and Joe Schmidt all won the 6N in their first seasons, what sort of progress should be deemed acceptable for Andy Farrell in 2020.

Mick McCarthy poured cold water on the chances of Troy Parrott’s involvement in Ireland’s playoff with Slovakia later this month, and Jose Mourinho had a cut at him as well. We discuss why middle-aged managers feel the need to pillory young players at the first suggestion of criticism coming their direction.

Plus there’s Man Utd’s most loved figure of all time (a kid from Donegal?), Liverpool’s full blown wobble, cup keepers, and an out-of-nowhere return to the fray of Murph’s Country Pages.
