It’s the start of another week of international football, and Ken thinks anything better than a 2-goal defeat to Finland, and a 3-goal defeat to Greece, would be about par. And if you think that’s the most depressing thing you’ve heard all week, wait ’til you hear what he makes of the 1-1 draw that played out in the court of public opinion between the Premier League and Manchester City yesterday. Both sides claimed victory, but it’s pretty clear everyone is losing.

It will be close to a sellout at Croke Park for Leinster Munster this weekend. We chat to Shane Horgan and Ruaidhri O’Connor about Sexton’s red personality, Croker memories, RG Snyman’s paws, if Leinster can heal their broken heart and if Munster can survive yet another injury crisis.

Plus there’s aiming between ROG’s eyes, wisdom tooth empathy and the golden age of sports law.
