Episode 1141: Monster European Cup Rugby Semi-Final Preview – Shane Horgan And Gerry Thornley On Two Irish Wins To Set Up A Civil War
Good weather, great teams and lots of subplots – its a brilliant weekend of rugby ahead. Leinster face the Scarlets on Saturday, and Munster travel to Bordeaux to play Racing the following day, with the nagging suspicion that both Irish teams have wonderful opportunities to make the final. We contemplate that dream/nightmare scenario with Shane Horgan and Gerry Thornley.
There’s lots to discuss including miracle injury comebacks, Leinster’s selection dilemma, Scarlets’ impregnable bubble of belief, sunshine rugby, who to back in a tight game, French fitness, and why “2018 Conor Murray” is a man who has forgotten how to lose.
