Episode 3182: Ireland Win In Wales, Ringrose’s Red, Gibson Perks, Fenton Factor, Clifford’s Celebration

At 18-10 down and a man down, against a transformed Welsh team, Ireland were heading for one of the great 6N shock losses; but thanks to some pragmatism, some brilliant kicking by Gibson Park and James “air” Lowe, Easterby’s side eked out a win in Cardiff to secure the Triple Crown and keep their Grand Slam hopes alive.

We chat to Shane Horgan and Andrew Trimble about the nature of the second half recovery, some of the errors that meant they had to come from behind, Ringrose’s red, Prendergast’s ups and downs, brilliant Bealham and Scotland’s missed kicks.

Another Sunday afternoon, another GAA golador makes a seasonal re-appearance. 7 days after Michael Murphy’s return, David Clifford started his first game under the new rules and got 3-3 to fire Kerry past Tyrone. Why are all of Gaelic football’s biggest names looking so happy/enthusiastic this February?
