Episode 2760: Scotland Garroted, NZ In The QF, The Joe Factor, Injury Issues
Ireland put in one of the best performances of the Farrell era to beat Scotland out the gate by halftime, at which stage everyone’s thoughts turned to the mighty, but maybe less mighty than they used to be, All Blacks.

We chat to Shane Horgan, Gerry Thornley and Scotty Stevenson of TVNZ about the level this Irish team are now playing at, the injury issues and what decisions Farrell will have to make over the next few days, whether past World Cups or the series win in NZ are relevant, the Joe Schmidt factor, and who they see as the more likely winner.

Meanwhile, Ken is impressed by Ireland but is worried about the other nations, Murph says “I told you so” to Scotland and Simon caught up with Caelan Doris and Andy Farrell after the match in Paris.
