Episode 2255: Sexton Out, The Joey Show, French Power, Sonny Bill in Sallynoggin

We ask the star of Ireland’s 2014 win in Paris, Andrew Trimble, and Racing 92 attack coach Mike Prendergast, if Joey can cope with the occasion, if we really know how good Joey is given those years lost to injury, if Ireland can continue their complex gameplan without Sexton and if there are any weaknesses we can target in the French game.

Go to PatreonAlmost half a million people tuned in to watch Kerry’s biggest ever home win against Dublin, with defeat sending Dessie Farrell’s side to the bottom of Div 1.
All of which makes Eoin wonder if there might be something in this “Dubs in crisis” talk ?https://t.co/QzutpYfz7G pic.twitter.com/77w2pPh2KW
