Our most fiery discussion yet! Myself, Pedro (phatpiggins) and new boy Tadhg (chupacabra) join Dave (davekoolkill) for an extensive review of Rugby World Cup 2011 while Timmy and Pedro preview South Africa's Currie Cup Final between the Lions and the Sharks.

Running Order
PART 1: World Cup Final review (start - 19:30)

• Were France the better team?
• New Zealand, the pressure and then the relief!
• Referee Craig Joubert, one-eyed?
• The unbelievable performance of the French back-row.
• New Zealand did in fact choke, however they won this time!
• France fined for advancing on haka
• Dusautoir named IRB Player of the Year = IRB Politics?

PART 2: General World Cup review (19:30 - 39:50)

• Rugby World Cup XV
• Player of the tournament?
• Moment of the tournament?
• Positives of the tournament.
• Negatives of the tournament.

PART 3: Currie Cup Final preview (39:50 - end)

From my point of view, we had a bit more debate than usual. What do ye think?

Next week is the big one, Munster vs Leinster preview. At the moment we're still planning how it's going to work.

Please post your comments on the show and suggestions on what we could improve! I'd like to read your ideas for the munster vs leinster debate in particular, how many people we should have, how open it should be etc.

Good show, next we need an all Leinster side as I felt dirty listening to it;)

Very entertaining this week. Skipped the first section because, to be honest, I'm not sure I can handle any more of the final but from 19 minutes on is good. Pedro, so reticent on the forum yet so forthright on the radio.

"Ye'll never get me lucky charms". Oh that Pedro.

Funny man alright, got a bit stumped when he kept interrupting me!

PhatPiggins

Just right.

If you want to get that job as a journalist/pundit you'll need the practice in the unexpected questions and answers.

I''m only thinking of your personal development !

thomond2006

ha nice one then! I wasn't complaining at all, I found it more interesting.

chupacabra

Michael Healy Rae will be on to me about all the Kerry bashing for sure.

Dave sounds like Ferris Bueller.:cool:

You need to be more balanced.

Any chance ye could separate out the RSS feeds? Its just the Talking GAA episode is getting downloaded also.

Davekoolhill

You need to be more balanced.

You can subscribe to Talking Rugby on it's own, which will just download Talking Rugby for you. Here is the link, and click subscribe on itunes on the right hand side.

You must be subscribed to The World's Talking, which is all the radio shows. Did the YBIG Footie show download for you also?

Otacon

You need to be more balanced.

I don't use an i device [Android user myself - BeyondPod app]. The current RSS feed I use is http://theworldstalking.podomatic.com/rss2.xml

Yeah, the YBIG show also downloaded last week.

Davekoolhill

You need to be more balanced.

Yes you just have to cancel your subscription to The World's Talking podcasts and then just subscribe to Talking Rugby. Which is at TalkingRugby.podomatic.com.

Otacon

You need to be more balanced.

Cheers Dave. Working perfectly now.

Davekoolhill

Great stuff, looking forward to an OBJECTIVE and FAIR Munster v Leinster debate.

I reckon we'll need you on as a moderator! :pac:

thomond2006

*Bump*

Building nicely to the Leinster vs Munster special, we have 2 Munsterfans and 2 Leinsterfans already confirmed. We might have 3x3 on in fact, a particular Leinsterfan might come on!
The show will be recorded on Wednesday night, so it should be posted by Thursday afternoon.

Good luck with it so. Make sure it's as spiteful and bitter as possible.

I'll play nice, dunno about the rest of them! I'll probably sound bitter anyway because I'm so pessimistic about this game!

wixfjord

I'll bet both sides will say that subsequent HEC games are far more important, but secretly mean "I hope we crush those bastards!"

Dave, you should begin the broadcast by asking does anyone remember
that time Quinlan tried to blind Leo
that time Sexton tried to kick Mafi to death
that time ROG jumped the hoardings in Landsdowne
that time Horan took out BOD?

See how that stokes the fires!

Quinny's a ligind. Why was Miley playing for the goys?
that time Sexton tried to kick Mafi to death
That ROG wannabe is a dirty *******. Why would someone want to hurt a clean player like Larry Murphy?
that time ROG jumped the hoardings in Landsdowne
ROG is a ligind.
that time Horan took out BOD?
Again, Marcus is a ligind. That pompous ladyboy brat was looking for it.

Fixed. :pac:

My true side is revealed....
