Ken was working as an embedded reporter with the FAI yesterday and gives us a full report today on Stephen Kenny’s future, their lack of a men’s shirt sponsor, the tiny amounts the academies get and fluffy business talk.

Erik Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho have fallen out, and Man United have put out a statement on his future. This isn’t good for Sancho, Ten Hag, or United.

Andy Farrell has picked a very strong team for the Tonga game this weekend. We chat to Ruaidhri O’Connor about Farrell’s reasoning, the threat posed by Tonga’s slew of ex All Blacks, the response to idle talk about Mack Hansen and the first major blow to the defending champs South Africa.

Plus there’s fit and healthy Evan Ferguson, Ken’s Question Time, future Murph and hazy Olympia memories.
