We chat to Shane Horgan and Gerry Thornley about Ireland’s improved lineout, their ability to cope with South Africa’s defence, Andy Farrell’s bench options, Fiji’s demo job on Australia and if teams should fear England in a potential semi-final.
Plus there’s live show news, Dave Kilcoyne on Farrell’s happy camp and Gloria Gaynor.
