Episode 1584: Ireland Lose Big In Japan, The Second Captains Grudge Match Power Breakfast With Eoin Reddan, Andrew Trimble, David O’Doherty And Ken Burley
Ireland are still in the Rugby World Cup but… our 19-12 loss to Japan now means we must talk about the bad old days again.

We recorded a live podcast moments after the final whistle in our home-away-from-home, the Liberty Hall Theatre in Dublin, with Andrew Trimble and Eoin Reddan, and some uncomfortable home truths were brought to us.

We are now an inconsistent team, and we have no real understanding of how well or badly we’re going to play from week to week. That still means we could do something at this World Cup, but the smart money wouldn’t be on it.

We also had the searing rugby insights of David O’Doherty, who gave us a master-class in the dark arts on the David O’Doherty Rugby World Cup Skillz Mat, and Ken Burley returns to the airwaves.
Forget the BT Sports studio pitch or the ITV rugby dojo, yesterday morning we premiered DAVID O’DOHERTY’S RUGBY WORLD CUP SKILLS RUG at our live show.
