  • The start of something cool

    First episode done and it was excellent. The enthusiasm for the game, the knowledge, the pride in the rugby all came through beautifully. Great guest to have on opening episode too. Feels like the start of something cool and long overdue in Irish rugby.

    Excited for more.
