There have been many Joe Schmidt team announcements that are eminently predictable… but this week is not one of them. Shane Horgan joins us to talk about the quick fixes that will definitely happen, and the tricky fixes that should happen. And he tells us who should start at centre, and who is the best fullback in Ireland right now.

Sean O’Brien will almost certainly be back in the Ireland team this weekend, Padraig Amond scored another FA Cup winner last night, and Carlow’s footballers are atop Division 3… but it’s the county’s hurlers we focus on today, as we talk to their manager Colm Bonnar after their brilliant draw with Galway last Sunday. #carlowrising

Plus we hear about hostile tv viewing conditions, scallion-eaters, and Ken has little to no faith in Everton as they face Man City tonight… just 8 short weeks after declaring this Everton’s best team since the mid-80s.
