Episode 2915: Leinster Slay The Nienaber Way, Selling Croker, Slick Byrne, 5 Try Ireland End 6N Losing Streak
Leinster went for a 6/2 bench, a Will Connors horse for the La Rochelle course, and defended with manic speed and aggression to beat ROG’s team for the second time this season. They won with 27 points to spare, and the Nienaber factor was there for all to see.
We chat to Shane Horgan and Ruaidhri O’Connor about slaying the dragon, the mental strength and skill required to score the Ryan Baird try after halftime, Ross Byrne’s best-ever performance, peak Furlong, Leo Cullen’s role in the side’s evolution, how dangerous Toulouse look, Aviva boos, selling out Croke Park for a bank holiday weekend and how the Irish women’s team ended their long 6N losing streak by winning in style against Wales.
