A three-man pod this week. I was joined in studio by the returning Kevin McLaughlin and on the phone by Donncha O’Callaghan. We picked the bones of Ireland’s loss in Cardiff and looked ahead to the Lions battles that will take place at the Aviva Stadium this coming Saturday as England go for a Grand Slam and New Zealand’s (Tier Oneⁱ) consecutive victories record.

Listen to the show in the player below, and if you want it to automagically load itself I suggest subscribing via iTunes or using your perferred podcast app.
