About this episode
While the Lions tour continues on its merry way, Ireland are back in action for the first time since the Six Nations. John O’Sullivan is in Tbilisi for their game against Georgia and he joins Nathan Johns for a detailed breakdown of the tour opener. It’s pelting it down in the days leading up to kick off. Good look facing a Georgian pack in the rain. Which players are we expecting big things from as plenty look to impress with the frontliners away in Australia? In what positions do Ireland need to build depth? Results aside, what do we need to see to constitute a successful tour? Over in Australia, Owen Farrell has been called up to replace the injured Elliot Daly. This is no like for like in terms of a positional replacement, so what are the implications for Ireland’s Hugo Keenan as he starts his battle with Blair Kinghorn for the Test 15 shirt?
