Episode 783: Conor Murray on Six Nations, McGregor’s Angel, Trump’s Ship, NY Knicks
Ever wondered what an international rugby superstar gets up to when he has some time off during the 6 Nations? Well, he mostly fields relentless questions from friends and family about how the 6 Nations is going so far.
Conor Murray has developed into Ireland’s most consistent playmaker, and with that reputation comes some unwanted attention. Here he describes what it was like to find himself at the centre of Scotland’s pre-match fightin’ talk, and why he remains bullish about Ireland’s chances of winning the Championship.
We talk about how the world looks from Conor McGregor’s point of view. The Double Champ has given a lengthy interview to GQ in which he talks about the best kind of tans, his visit from an angel, and why he hasn’t got much time for union pickets.
