    What's the story, anyone know, with the new series being off limits on the RTE Player to those abroad? That wasn't the case last time around.

    This is a travesty! WE pay for all the games and why now do we have to pay for something that should be free overseas. This is going to turn off every GAA fan abroad and they will not support the GAA again. Greedy guts wiull lose out in the long run beacuse we are fed up of this gauging us for money.

    How has any of this got anything to do with the GAA ? A travesty, really ?

    I'm guessing McGuigan will be the big interview with the other 3 on the couch together.

    Still not too sure having 3 people on the couch from different sports is a great idea as I can see most of the talk being about rugby and GAA so Lowry won't get a chance to say much.

    Considering Hogan was the stand-alone guest last week I would imagine Cooper is the big interview this week.

    Doubt it. He is the least well known of the four guests.

    For people of a certain age (and the second captain's crew) McGuigan is the most famous, he was a world champion and was a huge deal in Ireland when he was at his peak.

    They tweeted to say McGuigan is making the changes to the good wall so he's the big guest.

    Lowry watches a lot of sport though. He'd be well able to join in any of the conversations.

    Hope Hickie has a road map for his thoughts tonight, was all over the place on their Rugby World Cup preview podcast.

    He prob does but there's been a few times where the third person only gets to speak if Eoin asks them a question, other than that they're out of the loop.

    Given they haven't had him the show or podcast since his big win I'd assume they will ask him direct questions and then have a bit of a general chat with the others.

    Yeah, getting three people from different sports on together can be very hit and miss. I suppose they make do with whoever is available on the night.

    Shane Lowry's Father won an All Ireland medal the year Offaly prevented the Kerry 5 in a row, that might get a mention.

    And the infamous Denis Hickie Wavin Pipes ad!

    Haha Spillane diving and Mick O'Dwyer pulling the keeper's jersey off while he's down injured.

    One of the best things about the show is the lads having a root around in RTE's archive and highlighting stuff like that.

    So, they still barely mention the results/news of the day, is that right?

    I would prefer one section about say, the RWC & League Cup today than two interview slots in a row. Since it's live an' all.

    The highlights of the Ireland match with the kids was brilliant. Hope they do that every week. Although they don't seem to be on every week this series?

    Was a small bit disappointed about the McGuigan interview.

    Would have been great to see him asked his opinions on the Irish amateur fighters and their professional prospects and indeed if he'd be interested in signing any of them.

    McGuigan is brilliant to listen to when he is not talking about himself, he has a wealth of knowledge and insight into the sport in general but unfortunately we hear the same interview ad nauseum with him (Cruz, Pedroza etc...)

    He has spoken alot about Frampton given hes his manager and promoter of course.

    Fair play to the lads for throwing the Barney Eastwood question to him though, i'd say that was a curveball for him.

    They did a good job of re-creating the set in Cardiff.

    A few strategically placed pretty girls in the audience.

    The players standing for the Rose Of Tralee as the anthem was surreal.

    That guy standing in the background behind Donal Lenihan is really annoying.

    Always notice how there is way more women in the audience at these rugby events than at soccer ones.
