Episode 3178: Bayern Break Brendan’s Heart, Wales Ireland Preview, Introducing Our New (Arne) Slot ‘Ken Is Right’

Bayern managed, just, to get the job done against Celtic last night after 90-odd minutes of being, well, boring. But at least Celtic left Munich with a sense of the exact quality Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini felt his captain Rafael Tolói lacked last night – ‘dignity’. Was his red card almost… Forker-esque?

What looked in theory to be an easy Six Nations win for Ireland this weekend now carries with it the possibility of a Welsh resurgence, in Cardiff, with a new outhalf and a brighter outlook under interim head coach Matt Sherratt.

Should we be worried? How big a blow is it losing Doris to injury? Will our own interim head coach Simon Easterby stick or twist? And there’s a tasty looking England Scotland game and can France get their heads right for Italy.
