Episode 2481: Ireland beat the World Champs

We chat to Shane Horgan and Gerry Thornley about Ireland’s grace under fire, the ability to transition from defence to attack, the job Paul O’Connell is doing in scrum and maul, and if this result means anything for the world cup.

We also examine Rassie’s conspiracy tweet, Mack Hansen’s licence to roam, and the atmosphere at the Aviva. Plus, there’s chill Cheika beating Eddie the workaholic.
