There are subplots-a-plenty for the Ireland Australia game this Saturday – it’s Farrell’s last game with Ireland for a year; who should he pick at 10; the 150 year anniversary factor; The upcoming Lions Tour of Australia; and the return of Joe Schmidt!

We chat to Schmidt “Stan” Shane Horgan, Chris Jones of the BBC and Iain Payten of the Sydney Morning Herald about genial Joe, unpredictable Aussies, and the many dynamics at play when it comes to the battle between Prendergast, Crowley and Frawley.
