  • Too Close

    I am a Connor Murray fan, but if this podcast is going to last the pace he needs to be more objective. He obviously wasn’t looking at the same match I watched. He is still too close to much if not all of the squad to give an accurate analysis. So many of the team were off the boil, yet there was no mention of missed chances etc.
