Episode 2737: Hot And Happy Shamrocks, Mack’s Cacks, Boks Boss Scots, Drop Goal George, Tears For Fiji
Ireland briefly stuttered before romping to a feel-good win that included some under-12’s tactics, a bit of Bundee brilliance, a lap of honour and Mack in his cacks.
We chat to Shane Horgan and World Cup winner Joel Stransky about how happy Andy Farrell and Sexton were afterwards, what we can learn from the Scotland SA game, why France will put the fear into the other teams and why don’t more players kick drop goals, a la George Ford, especially considering they have won World Cups for SA (Stransky), England (Wilkinson) and NZ (Carter).
Plus there’s smooth Sexton, how Ireland can beat the Boks and tears for Fiji.
