If it’s put front and centre of the ‘new’ FAI, then maybe there’s hope yet for domestic football. David Sneyd, and film-maker Kevin Brannigan, join us in studio to look ahead to the new season, speculate on the league’s place in the FAI’s priorities, and Eoin tries to view the new season without hoops-tinted glasses.

Plus there’s Frances Murphy’s TV guide to the sporting weekend, a triumphal return for the Pro 14, two combatants who straight up respectfully disagree with each other, and The Dead.
