Episode 2840: Munster’s Perfect Marriage, The Lions Lift, 6N Form Guide, Ronnie Goads And Wins

Munster were on a bad run of results, injuries and performances, hadn’t won away from home all season, and were 10-0 down away to Toulon in a must-win tie…. so naturally they shot the light outs, got a 4-try BP win, and changed the entire complexion of their Champions Cup campaign.

We chat to Ruaidhri O’Connor about Munster marrying the old and the new, the impact Peter O’Mahony’s return had on the team and why, almost 30 years into professionalism, big characters can still make all the difference.

We continue to put grit into Murph’s gears, take a lift to the top floor of the Lions experience, have a peek at the 6N form guide, seek the help of Permutations Man, and Ronnie O’Sullivan wins an 8th Masters title while also goading and chastising everyone around him.
