    Fire in the questions for tonight's recording! I think there'll be a few! :p

    Anything Lions, Schmidt/Ireland, Heineken or Amlin related!

    "How can we convince Hartley to give Rory his Tour Spot?"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,930 ✭✭✭duckysauce


    Is Sam the right choice for captain ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,693 ✭✭✭Deano7788


    Who's the unluckiest player to miss out from any of the 4 countries?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,468 ✭✭✭BluntGuy


    I don't really post here but I listen to the podcast and lurk often enough. It's a great show. :)

    There's an interesting thread here about breakthrough players. Do you guys see players like Henderson, O'Donnell, Olding etc. getting capped this summer and possibly featuring in the autumn? Also where do you think we should set our expectations with Schmidt as coach, what kind of style might he play?

    Also, while we don't always answer everyone's question, we do go through them all and fit in what we can so we appreciate the feedback. We all have a habit of being verbose so occasionally run out of time!

    Australia's love of the Utility Back, and why can't we get them here?

    Talk about the BT thing! :/

    I'm sure you don't need to be prompted to talk about the Rabo and Lions!

    I'm sure you don't need to be prompted to talk about the Rabo and Lions!

    We might leave the BT thing till next week, because it'll need time.

    Topics covered will be a review of Euro finals and a preview of domestic semis & finals.

    What kind of angle for Lions did you have in mind?

    We'd had a couple of 'foreign' fans but mostly have a core group of people.

    We'll give the guys at GAGR a shout, collaboration would be great.

    The main show this week will concentrate - of course - on the Lions (and also a Top 14 review). But we are recording a separate French-NZ series preview tonight with Frenchman Etienne.

    Any Qs for Etienne? Or Kiwi Matt & Ulsterman Thomas?

    Any questions for tomorrow night's main show? All about the Lions! We'll be reviewing the Barbarians and Western Force matches along with looking ahead to the Q Reds game.
