Rob Penney and Conor O’Shea savaged their teams last weekend – can coaches motivate players by criticising them in public? Shane Horgan had experience of this in his playing days and joins us to discuss the rights and wrongs. We also speak to Leinster’s Sean Cronin, who was the player of the weekend in the first round of the Heineken Cup, with the numbers to prove it. And we speak to US Murph about beard tugging Bostonians and the difference between Mr April, and Mr October. Plus we have Mickey Goldmill wisdom, the prize bullock, why Eoin is like Aldous Huxley, and where’s the beef.
