Episode 808: Ireland End On A High, Sexton Stands Out, Conlan Sparkles On Debut

So where are we after a tumultuous Six Nations campaign?  We ended on an indisputable high, with victory over Grand slam and world record chasing England on Saturday. But there remains a world of regret over those defeats away to Scotland and Wales, and a championship that might have been there to win.

Shane Horgan and Gerry Thornley give us their verdicts on the last 7 weeks.

We also catch up with Michael Conlan after his professional debut in Madison Square Garden on Saint Paddy’s Day, which included an early stoppage, a capacity crowd… and Conor McGregor.

Plus there’s Murph’s lions test team, Stephen Jones black-hole of logic and Apollo Creed.
