Episode 2739: Maguire Memes, Oisin McConville On Clifford POTY, Sexton For Tonga, The Infinite Drop Goal Loophole
Harry Maguire once again finds himself in the news, this time with a strange looking OG, and is therefore once again being made a figure of fun. Ken looks at how the meme machine is treated these days and how Maguire got to this point in his life.
Oisin McConville can’t make it to our big 10-year celebration in the Olympia tomorrow but he’s in studio today talking to us about taking a second year as Wicklow football manager, why David Clifford is his Player of the Year, and why club form absolutely should count when evaluating end-of-year awards (a surprising position to take for a man with 16 county titles, 10 ulster titles, and 6 All-Ireland club titles, I think you’ll agree).
We game out whether Johnny Sexton should play against Tonga – we include injuries, match fitness, game time for the sub outhalfs, oh and the fact that we need to beat Tonga, in our decision making process.

Plus there’s the infinite drop-goal loophole, Austro-Hungarian history and some Sinclair Armstrong sunshine.
