Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

530 : Leinster v Stormers preview
Q: Two days out, how do you see it going?
The expectation is for a fast start with Leinster maintaining pressure through a strong bench and finishing phases, aiming for a multi-score win while managing the Stormers' threats.
525 : Leinster v Ospreys wrap
Q: How do you see them going?
I think Munster could go up a few days early and they won't fear the travel; I wouldn't write off the Bulls or Stormers, and Glasgow or Connacht could spring surprises depending on matchups. Leinster still look to rotate but should have enough depth to navigate the quarterfinals and stay competitive for the rest of the season.
455 : World Cup preview feat. MudderRucker pod
Q: What are the key players they'll be looking for in the squad for those first couple of matches?
Ailbhe highlights Brittany Hogan, Grace Moore, and Aoife Dalton as key players, emphasizing their strengths and potential contributions.
455 : World Cup preview feat. MudderRucker pod
Q: I mean, do you think this is a good sequence of matches for the squad?
Ailbhe responds positively, stating that Japan is a very good side and that the sequence of matches will be challenging but beneficial for Ireland.
455 : World Cup preview feat. MudderRucker pod
Q: How have things been going for you?
Ailbhe shares that it's been a whirlwind, mentioning the 11 episodes she has completed and that hosting is a different responsibility compared to being a guest.
