Tom Savage on the state of Irish rugby

ON THIS week's podcast, we are joined by Three Red Kings’ Tom Savage after Ireland’s 36-14 defeat at the hands of France in Paris.

This wasn’t the greatest night for Andy Farrell’s side as they started their 6 Nations campaign with a loss.

Multiple questions came in the aftermath, mainly about where Irish rugby was going after such a damaging defeat.

Savage delves into this and the ongoing debate of who should play out-half, Sam Prendergast or Innishannon’s Jack Crowley.

Teams who are going well though are Cork’s inter-county GAA teams who are unbeaten across all codes in the National Leagues.

The hurlers made it three wins from three last weekend in beating Tipperary (0-29 to 0-22), while the footballers hope to replicate that record when they travel to Offaly this Sunday.

The LGFA side face Armagh and can go up to second with a win while the camogie team begin their season on Saturday when they make the trip to Waterford.
