Jamie Heaslip tribute, Ireland v Wales, James Downey and Brendan Macken on The Hard Yards

Alan Loughnane

Only fitting that we start by talking about Jamie Heaslip….

Was there rugby on this weekend? Of course there was and you probably sat down and soaked in the Ireland game on Saturday. We just hope that you’re recovered from the frantic finish and your heart rate is close to returning to normal.

We have a great show lined up for you with some words about the retiring Jamie Heaslip, talk of Ireland v Wales, James Downey questioning the peculiar accent of Brendan Macken and a few words on Scotland’s dramatic victory over England.

Host Andy McGeady and SportsJOE reporter Pat McCarry are joined in studio by James Downey and over the phone by Wasps’ centre Brendan Macken and chairman and founder of New York’s first professional rugby team James Kennedy.
