Episode 1924: Late Hits And Liability, Man U Surprise, Jogi Hate, Lewandowksi Love
The Rugby Champions Cup is a great competition for festering sores. This time its Harlequins and Munster, who went at it on the pitch last week and are now jousting off the field of play. Unfortunately, there is some collateral damage…. to footballers reps, and “podcasts”.
Danny Care suggested some Munster players may have been faking injury but since he spoke young outhalf Ben Healy has been ruled out for a few weeks with a shoulder injury. We talk to former Munster hooker Duncan Casey about late hits, fake hard men, concussion and how he feels watching games having listened to Steve Thompson and Alix Popham talk about their issues with early onset dementia.
We also look at how well all 4 provinces are playing and the pressure it puts on the Ireland coaches to match that progress.
