Episode 2494: Rugby Loses, Ireland Wins, White Wobbles, Wales Sing

Mon 21st Nov 2022
Eoin, Ken, Murph, Simon, Shane Horgan, Gordon D'Arcy

Ireland laboured to a win over Australia to make it three wins from three in the autumn internationals, and yet again a backrower won MOTM. Murph has a theory on this trend.

We talk to former Ireland stars Gordon Darcy and Shane Horgan about Ireland’s muddled attack, strange decision making, but also their guts and defiance. How did debutant Jack Crowley do, have we an issue with our aerial defence, has our phase game been worked out and will we be the better for these hard fought wins?

We also look at how the Nic White concussion was missed by those responsible and if the independent doctors are relying too much on the Head Injury Assessment process while missing the key information seen by all 50,000 people in the stadium.

Plus there’s the rise and rise and rise of Josh Van Der Flier, ROG for England and the Welsh football song that made Murph weep at breakfast time.
