The shortest-longest off-season in Europe is finally over and The 1895 Podcast is back. Ste Doody is joined by Ben and Darren to tee up Shelbourne’s opening-night trip to the RSC to face Waterford.

Plus: cutting out the “poxy goals”, in-house predictions, Richie Rankings, and Ben’s internet packing it in right on cue. Up the Reds.
