Ep 3101: Ireland Win And Learn, Farrell Philosophy, Phase Out, French Theatre - 18/11/24
Listen now
Description
Ireland were ahead 22-9 at half time, at home, with three tries banked and the fans fully behind them - but instead of a comfortable win, they survived a last minute Argentinian onslaught to scrape home by 3 points. It was a win, against a good team, but the coaches didn't look too happy afterwards. We chat to Shane Horgan and Gerry Thornley about the 13 penalties conceded, Ireland's issues with phase play and kick chase, the good form of both 10s, and the big decisions Farrell will have to make for the Fiji game. Plus there's French rugby theatre, the rise of the south, and biased boxing commentators.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
