Mon 11th Mar 2019
Eoin, Ken, Murph, Simon, Eoin Reddan, Gerry Thornley, Aoife Lane

Ireland seemed to learn something about themselves in the games against Italy, Scotland and England – and that regained momentum led them to a comfortable bonus point win over France.

Eoin Reddan joins Gerry Thornley to figure out what changed in the intervening weeks, what tactical issues were resolved, and what role high 5’s and bro hugs played in the turnaround.

Aoife Lane, founder and former chairperson of the WGPA wrote a brilliant column in the Irish Examiner about why ladies football and camogie are run by separate organisations set aside from the GAA, despite the many and obvious ways in which the games co-exist together with Gaelic football and hurling – and she joins us for a chat.
