Episode 2282: A Wild Saturday At Twickenham, Ken Keeps Up With The Jones, Le Crunch
Mere days after their triumphant return to Liberty Hall, we chat to Shane Horgan and Andrew Trimble today about Ireland’s 60 minute reset at Twickenham on Saturday, the magnificence of the back three, controlled aggression, the idea that an English red card should mean a 50 point win and if Les Rosbifs can topple Les Bleus in Le Crunch.
This is straightforward: bend your knees as you tackle, and you don't make the referee make the decision. https://t.co/xjsEZEXXkI

Ken saw the finger-prints of Eddie Jones all over the wild celebrations of the England players after every penalty decision in their favour at the weekend, and has some comforting words for those Irish fans worried by Ireland’s perceived under-performance – and Murph talks us through the many and varied permutations ahead of the final Saturday of the tournament.
