Episode 1320: Gareth Southgate’s Fun House, Throw Like An Englishman, Is This…. Rugby Country?

Mon 19th Nov 2018
Eoin, Ken, Murph, Jonathan Northcroft

Is this… rugby country? The very real chance that life may be imitating advertising is the appalling prospect that greets the Irish football team as they prepare to take on old buddies Denmark in Aarhus tonight.

Seamus Coleman and Martin O’Neill insisted that they and the squad greatly enjoyed the win over New Zealand but can they really have enjoyed seeing the difference in the way the crowd at the Aviva reacted to the rugby and football versions of Ireland?

Jonathan Northcroft joins us to talk about his World Cup diary, Deadlines and Darts with Dele. He was mainly covering England for the Sunday Times, and 2018 has been a transformative year for the English national team. Is there anything in their turnaround from which Ireland can take heart?
