Episode 1852: Sam Bennett’s Stage, Farrell’s Head Shot, Ulster’s Munster Lesson, Ken’s Friend
Sam Bennett is the sixth Irishman ever to win a stage at the Tour De France, but he gave by far the best-ever post-race interview. Eoin also salutes Bennett’s warmth, and the Eurosport commentators’ ability to talk for hours about mostly nothing.
???????? “I don’t mean to be a cry-baby”

When others go low, Owen Farrell goes high, but the big news this week is he has finally paid for it. Will he learn his lesson and does this mean Leinster now have to beat Saracens in the European Cup QF?
“It’s a really bad one… I can’t defend that.”
