Episode 1887: 6 Nations Preview With Shane Horgan & Andrew Trimble – It’s In Ireland’s Hands, But England Are Favourites
It doesn’t seem like Ireland have had a convincing performance in this entire Six Nations campaign, but they go into the final weekend with their destiny in their own hands. A bonus-point win in Paris on Saturday will win us the title, but just how likely is that?

Shane Horgan and Andrew Trimble were on the last Irish team to score 4 tries in Paris, in 2006 (even if they lost that game!), and they talk to Eoin about how good France are, the dangers of getting into a shootout and whether we have any choice, and the areas where Ireland can aim to dominate.

France have scored 5 tries in their previous 6 Tests v Ireland. Last time they scored a try earlier than the 69th minute v Ireland was 2014, last time they scored 4 tries v Ireland was 2008

Plus there’s the return of Administrator of the Week, some memories of the daftness of the final day of 2015, and the permutations king does his thing.

As if Richie and Murph raining on his marathon parade yesterday wasn't enough, a listener gets in touch with Eoin to say not only did he run the marathon too, he did it while pushing his child in a buggy in front of him
