Episode 1298: Katie Taylor On Her New Documentary, Leinster Lose, Toulouse Throwback, Zebo Waves, Cipriani Goes High, Fog Of GAA War
Katie Taylor had a routine defence of her world title in Boston on Saturday night against a fighter who was woefully unable to offer anything on the front foot. Rather more dramatic is a new documentary, “Katie”, which gets a cinema release this week and which offers deep insight into Katie the person.
The moment has arrived. Check out the KATIE movie trailer and find your local screening at https://t.co/8LvtvglcPZ – Nationwide Release on Friday, October 26th. pic.twitter.com/ghT9uMW4sw

Director Ross Whitaker (who has made “When Ali Came To Ireland” and “Axel” among a string of great Irish sports documentaries), is in studio along with Katie to talk to us about her relationship with her father, heartbreak in Rio and living a new life in the middle of nowhere in Connecticut.

We also look back at the weekend’s rugby with Mattie Williams and Gerry Thornley, as Leinster’s mask of invincibility fell in dramatic fashion in Toulouse, Munster defeated Gloucester, Cipriani went high and Simon Zebo annoyed some Ulstermen.

Plus there’s the fog of GAA war, the art of small talk with promoters (and UFC stars), and showboating.

Martin O’Neill has given us his personal guarantee that we will qualify for Euro 2020, because… “I’m good”. We ask @kenearlys if its time to start celebrating?
