Episode 2717: The Old Man And The Senior Football, Owen Farrell Back In Trouble, Jonesing For Joy, Ireland Pick Slam Squad
Podcaster and author Ciaran Murphy is now in his 40s, but as he details on today’s show, the GAA fire still burns.
Owen Farrell got a yellow card for a high tackle against Wales last week, the bunker boys decided it was a red, then on Wednesday his legal team successfully argued it was a yellow, and now World Rugby look like they have plans to change it back to red again. We chat to Shane Horgan about this whole sorry saga.
We discuss Andy Farrell’s strong selection for the England game this weekend.
And there’s George Ford’s slip of the tongue, Eddie Jones’ message for the Aussie media and Frances’s TV guide.
