It’s been a long week of build-up, but the teams have been named as Ireland seek to become the first team in our history to beat New Zealand on Irish soil.

Shane Horgan tells us why he has no fears about Kieran Marmion, why we can’t put everything through Johnny Sexton, and why he feels this game is going to be as brutal a test match as the infamous Aviva game in 2016.

We also welcome TV3 New Zealand’s Ross Karl into studio… so he can scare us with a brief run-through of just how good this iteration of the All Blacks are, and in particular Beauden “matrix” Barrett.

Plus we salute Devin Toner – the world’s nicest (and most self-deprecating) man, we have a conspiracy theory about Wayne Barnes, and… we talk Brexit comedy capers.
