Shane Horgan is in studio, and 2003 World Cup winner Matt Dawson joins us on the line to discuss the gulf in mindset between the two sides, if Ireland’s kick chase plan was too rigid or just not executed well, what’s happened to many of Ireland’s star players, the French approach to transition plays, and what Farrell should do next with selections and game-plan.

We also discuss Shane’s famous try in Twickenham in 2006, if Ireland are the bad guys in world rugby and if Murph is as heavy as a prop forward.
