Episode 1873: Ireland/Slovakia Preview – Are We About To Get Very, Very Lucky?

First of all, we’re playing behind closed doors, so no home fans to deal with. And secondly, the Slovakians have been decimated by injury, covid, and government-imposed self-isolation.

Dion Fanning and David Sneyd look ahead to this massive chance for Ireland, and we discuss Bratislava in the autumn, tripping over Carpathian mountain-tops, and booze trains.
