New 🚨 ZAC WARD INTERVIEW ☘️
Ulster's Zac Ward became a household name at the recent Olympics, with an impressive effort as Ireland sought a coveted medal.
On today's show he joined me to discuss the games, sibling rivalry, 7s, Ulster and more!
Enjoy 🏉

Here is the audio from the Marler incident.
Dispicable behaviour and indefensible.
He’s 30 something years of age, grow a pair of cajones and grow up
I’m not going to mince my words here: This, is an absolute DISGRACE.
Rugbys disciplinary process is a joke at this stage.

What fans DO want:
Proper analysis of the winning and losing of a game delivered in a comprehensive & digestible style

I said red yesterday, and I still think it. It’s not a rugby incident, it’s not a tackle; it’s a full on shoulder charge.
It’s been 4 years since the initial clamp down on head high contact; and there’s no change.
If you don’t want to get sent off, don’t lead with the shoulder

The roar this young fella got was unreal but importantly, well deserved
One of the finest versions of Ireland’s Call I’ve ever heard
Hope to see more of him and stories like this in Ireland, rugby and sport in general
Andy Farrell:
"Oh wow. I tell you. I didn’t know whether he was standing with his mother.
"He's got his shoulders back, he was ready. Waving to the crowd, stood there on his own. I thought: 'this kid's got it all'. He was amazing. He nailed it, didn't he? It was a great start."

Ronan O’Gara on OTB this morning on Jack Crowley:
“There’s no questions about his goalkicking. Your first 10 caps are survival mode… between 20 and 50 he will take off”
Between Crowley’s 80+% kick success this season & Ireland’s 7.22 points per 22 entry, fears should be eased

It’s been a rough few weeks in Limerick, with more injuries than training sessions.
But the buy-in never wavered, the belief never dropped and the squad stayed tight.
Then, when they needed it most; this squad performed in a big way.

It should go without saying, but how cool was it having a game in Croke Park today?

Ireland are in an u20 World Cup final today. IMO, there’s not enough said about them.
On the pitch, this is the most dominant squad ever with 2 Grand Slams. Off it, they’ve dealt with tragic events over the course of the tournament.

Removed from the heat of the moment, I still don’t think this should have been chalked off
It’s not foul play, it’s not a clear and obvious error (like a forward pass) and it’s barely an infringement considering the clearout
They’re the breaks in test rugby
NO TRY! ❌
