Episode 3089: Winds Of Change, James McCarthyism, NZ Prune Roses
The mighty (?) All Blacks are in town this week, fresh from a narrow, opportunistic win over England. They weren’t outstanding…. besides the three incredible tries they scored. Post-peak NZ are not great, but still very good, and will take some beating on Friday night in Lansdowne Road.

Jamie Wall is in studio to talk about Ballygunner’s path to All-Ireland club glory, the breath of fresh air provided by new champions and new names at the top table… and the legacy of James McCarthy, the Dublin football legend who retired earlier today. He might just have been the greatest footballer on the greatest team of all time.
We also salute the exquisite news-nose of Eoin’s 5-year old son, and there’s an extremely wholesome story related to the 2024 Footballer of the Year, Galway’s Paul Conroy.
