What a weekend of rugby…
Have you recovered yet? We certainly haven’t, what a finish that was in Paris on Saturday. We discuss how a seemingly poor French side ran Ireland so close, 41 phases on the road to victory, slow rucks, dire Scotland and surprising Wales on this week’s The Hard Yards.
Host Andy McGeady and SportsJOE reporter Pat McCarry are joined in studio by James Downey and Kevin McLaughlin to discuss the weekend’s games.
There’s also a discussion with Richard Moffet from STATSports, who recently signed a deal to provide GPS tracking and performance monitoring technology to every senior professional rugby side in Ireland.
