Jamie Wall joins us to discuss why hurling got a severe case of goal fever last weekend, and who he reckons will be in the All-Ireland final after the two semi-finals are played this week (it’s not Galway, and it’s not Kilkenny).

After Ireland’s latest defeat to England Andy Farrell said he believes the team and management learnt a lot about themselves. Shane Horgan doesn’t see any signs of progress since Schmidt and explains why mid-table mediocrity is all we will achieve unless there’s a change in philosophy. Duncan Casey explains why our lineout is so bad, the knock-on effects it’s having, and how it can be fixed. And Shane reflects on the career of Christophe Dominici, the brilliant French winger who sadly passed away yesterday at the age of 48.

Plus there’s Grunge Week foolishness, the return of Egomaniacs, and a suggestion for renaming Ken’s Report on Sport.
