Episode 1964: Sexton And Murray Out, Billy’s Burns, French Press, Hogg Limelight
Andy Farrell will have to do without Sexton, Murray, Peter O’Mahony, James Ryan and Caelan Doris for the visit of France. We ask if Ireland have any chance this weekend, if the starting outhalf Billy Burns can manage his nerves and the French press defence, and if Gibson Park can add some pace to the attack.

Andy Farrell on this week’s unsavoury chat in France about Johnny Sexton’s health.
“Honestly, I thought it stinked, I thought it stunk on so many grounds. I’ll leave it at that.”https://t.co/arRFJ9iRyj

We talk to Shane Horgan and Laurent Depret about Sexton’s concussion, his health being openly discussed in the media and if this issue being so high profile during a Six Nations week might help rugby in the long term.

High praise from Andy Farrell for Craig Casey ahead of his potential Ireland debut.
“He’s been top class.
“The best compliment that you can give Craig is the senior players have been blown away by his will to get better every day.
“He deserves everything he gets.”
