Episode 2194: Ireland Dream Big, Lavanini At Large, MOTM Carbery, French Class
Ireland weren’t quite as good as they were against NZ but it was another impressive display from a team hit by a number of injuries.

We discuss the confident happy vibes coming from the camp, MOTM Joey Carbery, Peter O’Mahony’s red card diatribe and the depth we now have in certain positions.
Last week felt like a big step forward for Joey Carbery – ran the team well all week and capped it with an excellent performance. https://t.co/DmU0qxPhST

Plus there’s French class, Lavanini at large and Murph rattles Donal Lenihan.
Say what you like about that as a half of rugby, but Tomas Lavinini is now joint-top of the all-time most red cards list, and only one short of equalling the record on total international career cards, and therefor something feels right about the world.
