Trials and tribulations of an Irish coach abroad, Japan's Lions Test, 50/22 news, Prem/Top 14 finals
00:00
Bernard Jackman and Murray Kinsella join Gavan Casey, the latter fresh off a week 'on the piss' in Kerry, for a jam-packed Thursday pod. The lads discuss the Ireland men's Sevens' team's Olympic medal chances, Connacht back row Seán O'Brien's retirement due to concussion, the introduction of the 50/22 law trial at Test level, the Lions' opening fixture through a Japanese lens, and the Gallagher Premiership and Top 14 finals which take place this weekend. Plus, following Noel McNamara's move to the URC-bound Sharks, Bernard gives an anecdote-laden insight into the life of an Irish coach abroad.
