Brendan Fanning is in studio today to talk about Ire V SA, a match-up that ties together many of the themes from his excellent new book Touching Distance โ Irish Rugbyโs Battle With Great Expectations.

As Troy Parrot week draws to a close today we discuss whether or not we were duped by yesterdayโs Czech Football Correspondent, ล tepรกn Hรกjek of CANAL+.
Had he been sent by his masters in Prague to do a Kerry type Yerra job on us all?

We are away to Czechia, and if we get over that, weโll be at home to Denmark or North Macedonia. This feels possible.
We hear immediate reaction from Heimir and we hear plenty about Czechiaโs troubled qualification campaign from ล tฤpรกn Hรกjek of CANAL+.
The Ashes start this week in Perth and England are in the very rare position of having a solid chance of beating Australia on their home patch. We check in with Daniel Norcross of BBC 5 Live's legendary Test Match Special.

A hilarious line from Murph on @secondcaptains.bsky.social, paraphrase - never mind McIlroy at the Masters, Troy Parrott has had the greatest Thursday to Sunday run in the history of Irish sport. #COYBIG #speirgorm

We're joined by Erik Niva, to talk about a once great football nation that's fallen on hard times. How can Sweden, who have some of the worldโs most valuable talent, be bottom of their World Cup group with 1 point from 4 games?
