Episode 1390: Nervy Ireland, Carbery Class, Joe’s World Cup View, French Cliche, Kerry The Redeemers
Ireland picked up their first win of the 2019 Six Nations on Saturday, but it was pretty hard sledding for most of Saturday. Shane Horgan and Gerry Thornley are on hand to adjudicate on where we stand after two games.
England’s points bonanza against the woeful French means the title might be beyond us already, but does that give us free rein to experiment with the World Cup in mind? What are we learning from our hesitancy and nervousness in recent weeks? And is there any other option for Johnny Sexton but to stand where he stands and take the punishment he got again at the weekend?
We salute the rebirth of Gaelic football, the most entertaining sport on the planet, Jimmy Nesbitt makes a welcome return to our hearts and minds, and we have a new French cliché for the world to adopt.

We ask @Mike_Quirke how worried we should be about the 23% decrease in gate figures from 2017 to 2018, and to what extent that’s related to the declining quality of the spectacle being provided in Gaelic footballhttps://t.co/zPJs53k0Cd pic.twitter.com/lnR3piTPzO
