Episode 2372: A Shaky Start To The New Zealand Tour, The Schmidt Problem, No Bolters From The Blue

Wed 29th Jun 2022
Eoin, Ken, Simon, Scotty Stevenson, Andrew Trimble

Ireland got their tour of NZ off to a bad start with a poor performance, a heavy defeat and a few injuries against the New Zealand Maori. At least they aren’t facing the All Blacks in Eden Park in a few days time…

We chat to Andrew Trimble and the always insightful Scotty Stevenson of Spark Sport in NZ about whether Farrell can learn much from it, if anyone put their hands up for selection and the “massive” Schmidt factor.

Plus Ken wonders just what Joe Schmidt would have been thinking about while tucked away in the New Zealand mountains for the last couple of years, and we celebrate Simon’s touch of Fair Play Cup magic with the maestro himself.
