Episode 1105: Ireland’s Grand Slam Elephant, Surprising Scotland, Central Ringrose, Eddie Jones Fans, PSG’s Mutton Hearts

Ireland are one win away from a potential Grand Slam trip to Twickenham. Just “disgrace to world sport” Scotland in the way, a team with a mercurial outhalf, a brilliant coach, two big wins in their last two games, and a win over Ireland last time the two played.

Plus there’s Eddie Jones fans, eating elephants and Ken goes to town on PSG’s mutton hearts.

I’m intrigued by the response to this piece about PSG’s continual failure in the CL. There’s a surprisingly high proportion of Man City fans who have a) read it and b) decided it’s not up their street.https://t.co/4AmUrD8JsI
