Episode 3698: Man United And Decoding Prince William, Ireland Build Up To Boks, Rating Rat’s Tails, Leinster’s Joyeux Noel
Ken has cracked his Da Vinci Code by finally unpicking the lock of Gary Neville’s latest Man United diatribe. He gives us all clarity today.
Ireland will be without Doris, Conan, Crowley and Ringrose for the November internationals which start on Friday against Felipe Contepomi’s Argentina and ends with the key game, against Rassie’s South Africa.

We chat to Shane Horgan and Jack Carty about Ireland slipping off the pace in recent years, what they need to do to bridge the gap to the big three, Rassie on Furlong, and if you should judge a man by his haircut.
