Episode 1986: Are Ireland Underdogs Against New Scotland? Ronaldo Out, Why Haaland Has To Be So Mean, Original Synth Classic
Ireland face Scotland in the fourth match of their Six Nations, and it seems like now is as good a time as any for the Andy Farrell revolution to begin… or at least for the Farrell Train to leave the station.
Coaching expertise has to deny Scots the images they’ve been dreaming about all week https://t.co/U9mflWAQGU

We ask Shane Horgan, Andrew Trimble and former Scotland number 8 Johnnie Beattie if this is the best Scotland team of the pro era, if Finn Russell is evolving as a player, if Ireland can physically dominate them anymore and who Farrell should pick for Sunday’s game.

‘I think it’s the best Scottish team I’ve ever gone up against as a coach or a player. They’re very well coached, very physical and they’ve got some real x-factor players as well – Stuart Hogg, Finn Russell. There’s no doubt they are an excellent side’https://t.co/my3C3TLA8g

Ken also asks why Erling Braut Haaland, with 20 goals in his first 14 Champions League games, has to be so tough, and Ronaldo bows out at the round of 16.
Plus there’s Flower of Ireland, cold-hearted Galthie and another World Service member synth original.
It’s Tuesday of ??? SYNTH WEEK ???
Ken doffs his cap to the audio pioneers in the BBC’s synth department of the 1960s for making this week possible https://t.co/3MhgcxoAkN pic.twitter.com/PCeA1acVNC
