October 19, 2022 A message from Gav
With Eoin Toolan and Murray Kinsella both away this week, we will instead dig into Andy Farrell's Ireland selection on Friday. The lads will be back next week, however, for a very special edition of the Wednesday pod: Bernard Jackman and Gavan Casey will join the Wednesday duo of Murray and Eoin for an in-depth chat about the financial state of rugby and its viability globally, as well as where Irish rugby stands relative to all of the precariousness of recent months.
We'd love to put some of your questions to the lads so if you have any, fire them onto Gavan at [email protected].
