Episode 2707: Jack Be Nimble, Sexton Plays Portugal, World Cup Horror, Cork’s Hat Trick Hero
Caelan Doris was the clear man of the match for Ireland at the weekend, but the most important performance came from outhalf Jack Crowley. His season ended well with Munster, and he continued that good form against Italy. Is he now ahead of Ross Byrne?

We chat to Shane Horgan about World Cup warm ups, trying too hard, the back three contenders, big Joe Mc, dangerous Scots and how Farrell, Catt and O’Connell’s horrible experiences at World Cups might be shaping the easy breezy approach this time around.

Johnny Sexton will play in a training match against Portugal this week but because of his ban it is most definitely not a game of rugby he is taking part in.

Plus there’s hat trick hero Amy O’Connor, the battle of Bayonne and peno shootout drama.
