RTÉ Rugby podcast: Irish discipline, debutants and the battle for number 10

Nov 20,2024

Neil Treacy is joined by Johne Murphy and Jonny Holland to recap the main talking points from Ireland's 22-19 win against Argentina on Friday night.

We look at why Andy Farrell's side struggled to kick on in the second half, after what had been a promising opening 30 minutes.

The panel discuss the performances of Ireland's out-halves, Jack Crowley and Sam Prendergast, and outline why the future is bright for Irish rugby at number 10.

We also examine why Ireland's discipline has deteriorated so badly in 2024, and ask which changes are likely to be made for the visit of Fiji on Saturday.
