Episode 1417: Andrew Trimble In Studio On The Evolution Of Joe Schmidt, The Ronaldo Rape Case Delay, Old Ken Burley, Young Declan Rice
This Saturday represents Joe Schmidt’s last game in the 6 Nations… but what was his first 6N Championship like for the players outside Leinster getting to know him for the first time? To tell us, we’ve enlisted the help of Ireland’s player of the year in 2014, Andrew Trimble (20 mins).
Andrew tells us about the eye-opener of a first week in camp with Joe, why dropping your children isn’t an option so why should you drop a ball, whether Joe’s changed as a coach since then, and if the result against Wales this weekend matters that much.
Ken Burley’s views (47.50 mins) on Welsh arrogance are as fresh and as vital today as they were during the 2011 World Cup, while back here *our* Ken has his say (50.45 mins) on Declan Rice’s international young player of the year award… from the FAI.
Ronaldo’s hat-trick in Juve’s 3-2 aggregate win over Atletico Madrid prompted some people to wonder just where exactly the allegations of rape against him have gone. Ken gives us the latest (4.50 mins).

Ireland may not be the best team in this year’s 6N, but are they the team that have learnt most about themselves?
