They're going in all guns blazing to quote one of their players

Northampton are a class side, both on and off the pitch. They'll be prepared for the caldron. I'm betting that Croke Park or not, Leinster will have a bit too much, and I'm sure the team will be ultra focused on their game and not the white noise. As an Ulster fan I'll be supporting the lads in blue to bring it home, but it'll be no 'day in the park' against the Saints.

Boks need to beat Ireland first for it to be rivalry. In recent years there's only been one shade of superior green and Im afraid it isn't ours. Go Bokke!

It was just a brief 10 minute talk apparently so Northampton wont be weighed down with the full weight of irish history...😁😁😁😁😁

Croke Park is probably at the same level [if not more] as Eden Park is to New Zealand with the pressure of not losing rather than winning, even more pressure with an England team playing, Hopefully, we get a good match like the last 6 nations' game against England in Croke Park

Last 3 time sa bottle job,s when they play the irish.😂😂😂😂

Yawn

Matt Williams sharing his opinions on cricket, even less interesting than his one eyed opinions on Rugby.

Lads they'll use croke park as in its a special stadium and every irish persons dream to play there. The occasion, the selecte few rugby players who've played there and so on. I dont think they'll be using the English/Irish view on it.

Wasnt all this done back in 2007 with ireland v england,no need to drag it back up again.

ROC is worse than George Hook 🙈🙈🙈

Give it rest .

Get a grip OTB pundits. There was over 1,600 years of Gaelic rule and culture on the island of Ireland and there will possibly be 1,600 more if global warming doesn't put us under water. Colonization was a blip. This is invented media drama over very little. It's 2024, not revolutionary Ireland 1920s, or plantation 16th/17th centuries.

'Gotten'. Sounds ridiculous.

BOD is a legend.

Really loving how a lot of the SA coaches are being so open with their thoughts and opinions ( John Dobson, Rassie and Nieneber in the national Team, Jake Whyte writing articles in Rugbypass) it really adds a lot of entertainment value to the competitions they are involved in.

This makes no sense. Bench should have an impact on the game. If you want to see just gaps and trys watch 7s.

What rivalry 🙄 Springboks rivals are the All Blacks and England Ireland are irrelevant to us

Pathetic!

Great to hear aimer,one of my favourite players over the last 4/5 yrs,is she as good on her right foot..

Is this Tyrone gaa TV or what, who won the game 🤔

Fiona hayes. Lovely girl , worst accent on the planet . I have to switch off when she’s commentating. I don’t think women should be commenting on men’s game.

Lads could you please drop the American sport rubbish and also any farming stuff. As soon as ihere either i think about turning off. Its a hurling pod; the clue is in the name.

I remember hearing emelyn Hughes comentating on the radio in absolute tears,when i got home it was live on television and the thing that stays with me,was a juventus supporter with a gun in his hand

Arrogance ! Bad mouthed the ABs, Reiko replied after the game ! Got what they deserved !

I am a South African and I fully support Ireland believing in themselves. They have earned the right to talk a big game and so they should. Nobody is winning anything if there isn’t a ton of self confidence.

Skehill NFL talk snooze

Absolute bollocks.Eveyone is entitled to their opinion but when someone tries to make out that opinion is widely held by others they just sound foolish .

this isn't analysis, it's 'vibes', and they don't make a dot of difference at the top level of professional sport. Ireland are a good team because of the quality of their players and coaching, nothing else

More BS from this shower who have nothing better to talk about.

This Dobson guy has a lot to say for himself for a guy whose team are struggling to make the play-offs.

I would say not rotating that squad properly. It’s a marathon, not a sprint

Nobody is forgetting the NZ team. They're waiting in the long grass. It's just much better for rugby to have more than two brilliant teams. Im delighted Ireland, France and England are up there now. Hopefully, the others will catch up. Its much more exciting before a game, not really knowing who's going to win. I hope it stays this way for rugby's sake 😊

What a man

I'm tired of this BS. For the first time in Irish Rugby history, we weren't pessimistic and playing ourselves down. We finally said to ourselves we belong amongst the best teams in the world and have earned the right to feel confident in our abilities as a rugby nation and the first chance they get, the rest of the world calls us arrogant and that we disrespect our opponents. Typical OTB peddling this crap in order to get clicks because they have lost 10s of thousands of subscribers because they moronically put themselves behind a pay wall just so they could try and extract money from people.

always the Boks, or NZ, or Australia (maybe England once)....in WCs

ROBBIE KEANE LOVE ISRAEL MORE THEN ANYONE KNOWS , HE KNOWS ALL THE FAKE PALESTINE HAMAS JUNK ,

Not to mention a 3 series test win in NZ! That’s something very rare indeed even for the Lions. Home nations are just jealous and SA are a bit like wales of old…don’t win much in the domestic competitions but turn it on for Internationals.

McGuinness will out wit McGeeney who will end his reign with no silverware.

Yeah I like John Dobson and he always talks a lot of sense. The Irish v SA rivalry is what is making the URC great. Glasgow, Benetton and some of the other teams are also contributing significantly as well. You can’t take any team lightly. But Irelands elevation the last few years has managed to replace the rivalry that SA had with the ABs which is remarkable and something g I wouldn’t have thought possible a number of years ago.

If players were going around saying see you in the final then they’re idiots. I don’t however think that complacency was the reason they lost to NZ. NZ turned it on on the day and were just that little bit too good. We still could have won it if Kelleher had been able to dot down. It was that close. In all though we have a great record over the last two and a half years have won a couple of six nations, and Munster a URC title it’s probably not enough to show for how good Ireland and Leinster for that matter have been during that time.

They excell only when playing the second stringers, otherwise they are pathetic.

The group stages are an absolute farce, Kerry in with Louth and Meath.

Great podcast lads as always.

Complete rubbish.
