here for Barry how long we waiting for the orders rule would you back uh well I wonder if anyone actually notice that we've actually changed seats for this one because this is the other no way we did actually you know marks watching you know them you know and watch and I have we were just like let's get this crack oh you have apologized by the way this is meant to be on Monday we weren't able to do it obviously Tuesday as well like right we're here we're back what's the crack yeah we have we have a good show and in store for you guys and obviously we want to actuate until six nations team for me anyway and Andy Farrell's first game in charge after a very very disappointing World Cup so it's really chance for a new leaf for Ireland to get out there and show their Stouffer's not yeah it was such a strange world Copa looking back on it now we're actually like really bad we went in hoping that we do well but it turned out to be not a great competition at all yet again we didn't win in the knockout stages yeah look there was no excuses to be made the performance were very very poor you know New Zealand like ran through was like we were absolutely nothing they treated us as if we were like a smaller Tonga you know mean yeah well a lot of players a lot of players are out in defeat but then like even looking at where your best who's near retired he he was basically just holding the team based on well probably one of the big big problems Joe Schmidt had was he had loyalty to the players when it should've been doing more on what actual form was you know I mean going to work open like 3738 is a bit late I'm starting as well yeah he was he was he was a cop and going into it I think there was questions over whether he was even the best poker in in the or squad at the time so yeah or even an Ulster yeah you have to ask those questions on now it's time for our Ireland sort of kick on with them there's no points or doing two more truth and a biopsy on what happened to Ireland in the world look forward and it looks like there's a new wave of talent contour yet again yeah phenomenal that has me excited now especially look in the box there's a lot of new faces well like new starting faces yeah so I suppose we'll look sure the team did you want to start in the back surge or do you wanna you know well I mean what is the team that if I'll pick the team yours Batson um you know what like just looking at the faces on the starting lineup now it I'm Way more excited now then look reading it from paper which party start off with the start probably start off with the force first because they're what hasn't been as many changes and then it's probably more time well start off with the front row yeah and you have keen Healy and you have herring and you have time for a long and I was actually hoping Rowan Kelleher will get his debut in this game I was hoping he'd start he's been absolutely phenomenal for Leinster and he's kept chunk row know the team don't think as he is coming back off injury or I think a great way to actually stardom and debut will be to actually start him alongside his Lancer teammates in the front row you know that would really actually solidify our scrum I don't think hearing us played too many games alongside helium-4 for a long so will that cause scrimmage initiatives I don't know what's her take them out um I would be like I wouldn't be already stressed about have to be honest Mona would be more worried about what the situation is with Delino cattery is on the bench I'm sure he'll make an appearance because there's no doubt you'll make its debut yeah I'm sure a lot of players are going to get on off the bench yeah good to see Devin tone or actually on the sit on the bench yeah yeah what do you think of this because I personally haven't actually found Devin tone a bit of the bench oh you want to be a starter to be honest I feel like either start seventh owner or you don't have him in the squad yeah yeah I don't feel like if I don't I lose no I don't think bring on toner I don't think he is an immense ball carrier and he's decent actor like he makes his tackles Bowie it's not like he puts in really big hits and his main thing is when the lawyers yeah that's let's be honest yeah he's D strand the pitch poor no one's like oh Devin toners or nothing you know it yeah it's just good to have you back in the squad because he wasn't in the World Cup squad as well yeah potentially so and I would almost rather have a Tunica wrong in the squad there because I think he's a bit more of a bruiser and I think the one thing that always pack him is maybe lacking is a bit of grace maybe yeah brawn Driscoll was actually saying he doesn't think too many dogs in this this pack and these expectancy Jay started to do a lot more occurring of the ball into rocks and doing the dirty work yah-ha CJ Steiner was actually an interesting pick on turn in terms of form I wasn't too sure if he was actually gonna start let alone being the squad yeah at the Marseille squad he had a Peter money as well I think well he go mad knee on the benches it's weird you know like absolutely golden because he can play anywhere up across the battery which is quite rare like bring home a Taniya now for 50 60 minutes like that's an absolute Terrier offspring on with the pitch yeah I think Vander flaring at seven is one of the few people who was like solidify his name on the team she Stan is probably there from his experience he does carry the ball up well and he seemed to like hard it seemed to like severely dropped her in the World Cup so will be very interesting to see whether he can get that back then in a number a scale and Aris making is a Harlan debut Walt like a selection from Andy Farrell yeah to me it was like either Doris for max Teague and I think you have to be really sort of you know brave as a manager to pick someone on their debut and start at number eight especially like such a physical position he's only 21 years of age he looks absolutely incredible and he's got great offloading skills he loves a carry children from what I've seen I think maybe he's actually an all-round better player then dig him but Deegan seems like low Vicari and loves score on a troy I don't think they both should have been in the squad though if that makes sense I think you had to go for one and you er yeah so I can sort of understand that I feel like max Teague and Jack O'Donoghue from monster really did miss out on the squad atop maybe he could have been in at six promised and sat on their boat look it's a very very strong pact and if I was out from there there Doris is sort of almost the wall card in terms of international Ruby what exactly you expect murderous going into this now as well I expect plenty of our floats I want to see I want to see I want to see him carry the ball to be honest I want to see how he stacks up against the Scottish pack because scars pack is always gonna be quite big yeah I want to see how they do against them but for me look Henderson Rowan I don't think we mentioned in sacrum or about owner but like there are two best second rolls in the country in my opinion and Henderson's obviously the Ulster Captain James rowing is like people are tips and being next Arvind captain you have potential for sacks and so like there's plenty of leadership in the pack and obviously plenty of experience of furlong candy I expect Ireland boss Scotland up front yeah same here this is actually your brother Christian Oh Chris sent us a start out Healy and Johnny Saxon are gonna be the first two of seven players forearmed I've played in three different decades yeah it's pretty impressive feeling like he obviously he played in but 2010 twenties now what if I don't sell Johnny Saxon yeah I think I didn't get a lot of people were looking at sort of as we move into the backs the scrum-half and I think I was saying to you during the week before this he was announced I was convinced wrong he was gonna start an annoying he's been an absolute fire for all sir I think he's the top point scorer in the Pro 14 he's in absolutely immense form and you know I think the only reason he's not getting the nod here is that Conor Murray's experiences partnership with John nice accent while a lot of people sort of forget about what Connor Murray is his game management he manages this game probably better than any scrum-half in the world yeah he's basically the same age as well so a apart from like absolutely getting rid of everyone I don't see why you just shouldn't just keep Marie there look he's an absolute world-class talent when he does game yeah the only thing is is that someone like Donna Marie has to perform because cooties nip not the boss get in there yeah and if he has anyway I saw power performance he'll be dropped for the next game and can you be straight in yeah there's probably most pressure he's been on in a long long time as well I reread he is CUNY ID she also adds that extra aspect goal kick him as well no no Connor Murray's actually kicked a few girls forearms well what a Cooney is actually the select go here for Ulster yeah so and there's also go few more also pairs in the team these days so yeah but like sex with me technics burn we'll take the kicks I mean wins they really got into Cooney well like CUNY could be second choice for all you know you know I mean Ross Perot and hasn't take many kicks from gentlemen yeah so it'd be interesting to see well their argument to help as well against Cooney he's is pasty same age as Murray and there's no there's no chance there's more chance McGraw being the scrum-half in the next four in four years time at the next World Cup as well I suppose in terms of experience like it's a wealth of experience in Murray's favor yeah but the people are like oh whether it's a bit unfair of Cooney doesn't play but like sports isn't really fair either and when you have a half my partnership with Murray in sex and like it's hard not to take that team parents' they probably are the best half pack combination in the tournament well yeah well what Young's and Farrell yep like I'd prefer Murray in sex yeah well you are Irish so you are variable and then suppose move into the center's and were you shocked see boondi hockey in the center instead of Hanshaw Joe what everyone's like the people I wasn't there like Andy dawn and a keyboard needed the mentioned bond yeah keys name at all so when I saw him to starting lineup I was like oh yeah a key a story man and fairness I feel like booyah he very rarely has a subpar game in the earthy yeah and he is obviously a big physical proof in the middle of the field adds a bit of bulk in there especially with ring rolls ring rolls is a bit on the more on the slander so it's a bit more finesse it's almost it's almost like you put a bully in there to you know be for a bit yeah and I think Henshaw ring roses partnership they offer plenty this hack but you might almost think defensively maybe they're not as high up you know I mean yeah there's something about Henshaw I don't I don't know if he's like lived up to the hype that I thought he could do like I know no ring roses was like a never sang again into this time fifteen but this is this is sort of same problem that and Cooney has as well as his hand shop de poner portion IKEA Murray and let's see what actually comes in at the end because in fairness if Cooney does come in an eventual deep deep place Murray and if Henshaw comes in there on the tournament and takes a key spot that's when we go for the country as well you know yeah well it's go to his shoulders sort of healthy competition in all places and I think centers healthy competition has ever there's I think bring roses really sort of solidify himself as the thirteen he is an absolutely world-class thirteen he's such a talented player is ability to find the gap as well as next level and Bondi is absolute brilliant boy I feel like Bondi Farrell Henshaw anyone them could've went in and I would've went that's fine yeah I mean like I wouldn't have been all we're gonna lose now you know yeah and then yeah Farrell has impressed every time he's played yeah he's almost like I never let's do Naz be don't give me a shot yeah and then the wings was a new place where I was slightly surprised Jade just cuz there was no Keith Earl's but he's had a few injury issues yeah for me he throws be my first when you're on the team she as opposed to stop sailing Conway I think obviously stocked out on his day he can single-handedly win your game he's a troy storm machine he holds the record for most trolleys in the Six Nations tournament but he throws like you don't get any less than NATO tanguay medal tree don't yeah I know if Keith Harris was 100% fit who would think Stockdale or Conway would still be ahead of them and who to take out well I think I would have Orioles down first but I probably have Stockdale stocks that didn't have very good World Cup yes pianist for he certainly came on the scene might have did on real and then hasn't lived up to the hype since yeah but I think bar the world cup he's been quite cool in nor suresies therefore I'd sort of give him the bo g to benefit the day and stake was stock there and I have Conway on the bench just cuz he can play wing arm fall back so it's bit more versatile yeah yeah no your and then obviously for buck Jordan armor this is almost like a statement of intent here one of you Farrell he's looking to pay some attractive Flass for a free-flowing attack and rugby Larimer is an absolutely wizard with the feet and he makes people missed tackles like there's no tomorrow I'll never forget some the plays he made against Italy last year in Six Nations he looked like he was danced around people he's an absolutely incredible rugby player yeah and it just shows that he's kept with a lot of snare the team who's been absolutely phenomenal or at the end of the very cataria feet man I mean a chair seat he does he does look if I ever we sorta name the entire team and I think it's a brilliant team if I was in charge or Hinkle would have slowly change it I almost would have went Healey Kelleher furlong Rowan and toner and then you would mean like right there's the Lancer from five that's your basis yeah I know I would've been happy enough to sort of mix much from there well Lance are so hot right now to the best team in Europe I feel like Leinster could win the Six Nations yeah so it almost sort of build your team off the Lannister core and I sort of moved from there you know I got to you good to you and we won't far off in that winners I feel at the moment with the wingers your to have Conway you have stuff hell and you have or else but like when James Lowe comes into the fray as well like you mean becomes very very very competitive yeah it was and what you make of Addison's being emitted from this squad I know people wanted mean because of his versatility board and he also wasn't in the World Cup squad as well so as no as if he should be guaranteed to start in his 15 well I just think with the for for a form Lancer and Larmour are he was lommers one of the few players who actually did do well at the World Cup I think it would be almost like blasphemous to not give him the jersey you know me and then when it came to the Sorbs ah I thought that that's a game where I wasn't too sure with the bench like hand house on the bench obviously alongside Rathbun and John Cooney I think cause Conway can play fallback he gives you a bit of versatility and cause Hancock can pay for back he gives that bit of her silly and then Larimar can also move on to the wing if just say stock there by the injured hand y'all come in a fullback he sort of covered all the bases that's almost one bit more shocked that he didn't have han cheol's starting and then maybe have someone else on the bench I feel like if we pick Bondi a key or you pick um Chris Farrell they can play center and that's it I feel like the rest of the players are a bit more versatile around the backline I agree I agree I'm just so excited to see Larimer actual get the ball and go and see what happens you know I think that was one thing we were lacking when Carney was playing he was just getting a bit on and legs Carney was like save oh no ball up in the air like he was never dropping like he's pure specialist back there by borad it's gonna be interesting see now a brand new fresh pair of legs and glamorous I'm gonna be there to stay or tank also broke her knee he's unknown yet caps no fair Owens do you think you'll ever get the last two probably no chance and mussels ways and that's maybe we really like a game against Canada or something like that yeah but then again just so much young talent come true the team look I always think what others will be there's that bit of air or there's to reinsert fans there saying all the Lancer players you're sorry yeah always for Saracens I can see where that's coming from to be honest but also on your soil but like there are absolutely fantastic players from all provinces and it's just more so when you had those combinations there and they know each other so well to play we can we go together why not use that and I think monster-like Klein's gonna be obviously monster for them and looks at Jacqueline who Sandra Martin either baccarat was world-class tour scores any team in Europe Keter I think is the best winner I'm half old sir like I think of Moore's for starters or potential starters in the or squad NER than they've had in a very long time and herring Henderson dr. Mooney Stockdale artisan like all five of them could be starting and people wouldn't like you can put in a very strong argument that they should start like it's good to see the competition grown in oil it'll be yeah we didn't pick the team now don't forget that like yeah and watch think the bench the bench is strong enough as well you have obviously Keller who we've gone over at Cohen who like I look like he's annoying air with Han from our and I look at a coin or whatever he's noticing he said no and and just in terms of like it's physically his move around the page to scrum which is not scored I love a porter I'm like he's like an eight and a half but furlongs annoying you know I mean yeah I think our front row was absolutely we're absolutely blessed order could also play loose Antonia candy Egon yeah well I think he's more so sort of read like harped on the toy toy head saw it and look he's challenging for a long force our position I'm like legitimately doing so which is not very easy to do like furlong was a football player the year last year I mean so that's very very impressive the back rows also competitive as always you still have like Jordan Murphy open all start pushing for a spot as well Henderson can move into the back row as well Holcomb tell them and Alton Dillon is also extraordinary first hope they're played second row or back row like it's so so competitive and on top of that at a 1/2 after sex and gets very bad as you have Rathbun you have Harry Byrne and you have a Fitz over in Connick like these players are like chomp not to be to get shot in the island I'm gonna get a shot at that green jersey its brilliancy is enough yeah I'm actually literally so excited for sanity have a few points was missing keenest like I actually read another article that like American was like charges come back to hurl himself get back in the fray what about zero any chances oh no I don't think that I don't think so what yeah who knows Never Say Never you mean if he came back to monster will you get in the squad very much potentially so you know I mean yeah Harlan do take on Scotland on this Saturday at 4:45 in the Aviva Stadium did you see Finn rustle I heard you been telling the piss yeah and then like didn't over drain and then like was a void back to the camp two days later and he was like nah you're rad then we're back to France so he's not paying so a more opinion that only favors Ireland even more or do you think are gonna go and beat Scotland I think they'll beat them quite convincingly now yeah and it'd be a great start and we great conference er for started Six Nations there at home as well yeah yeah our under at home so well okay so obviously sad for us we're gonna be keeping you up today every every round of the Six Nations and are back in action again Disraeli as well don't forget that yeah well if we're looking at last season's well yeah Wales won the Grand Slam England came second and conferred France came forth and Scotland came fifth as always really six - well first yeah so it all kicks off starting Wales are taking on Italy 215 in the Principality stadium so it's the defending champs against the wooden spoon yeah I think we're broken and say we're gonna win boy with a bonus points yeah wells are very impressed from that World Cup as well to go to semi-finals oh I actually don't watch them I'm pre some player I think he's brilliant the dirt they're very very good so and good don't they actually just our class and I wanted don't know how he's still going but a fair play - he's 37 just just lose it it's cool I think our own second game against Scotland and Aviva Stadium yeah I expect our own twin with a balance point yeah I just think that back line is just so it's it's gonna do some crazy Garlan are gonna win like 40 points to like 18 I think our only gonna start playing likes about the rumor on the street is that are only going to be playing a lot of quicker faster expansive yeah and that that's that's class to me because they looked at really slow over the last couple years you owe me no it was just like I hear come on it and then you have France at home and Paris to England yeah for me even more like the preterm in favor so I think as it gets closer and because what's happening with Saracens so flats obviously gonna have to affect the squad not I think they're becoming less and less favorites and I think around learn now actually become unwell so come closer to be in favor as a term comes closer to a fruition um all you sort of do get way mean but we should probably go into that only bit more detail but this game does take place on Sunday so there's two on Saturday morning Sunday this going to be a tree o'clock on Sunday France our home rush yeah I'll see this situation with Saracens is after it's definitely gonna like take people's always off the bulb like what cologne we're going to there's gonna be a lot of uncertainty England looks unreal on that World Cup I know the last in the phone I think they they took their foot off the gas poor them this friends they have had that they picked up 42-mile squad wasn't yeah and dirty half the squad it is uncapped and only one player is dirty or older I feel like France archons II just like rotated new new bunch players in as I almost think it's like quite rare for a French player to have like forty caps at any stage now look this this new star of France's they're trying to get the young boy in all I think it's gonna be probably twelve two or three years put in three years home in France could be back as good as the other nations and their pluton in new players they're brought in a new team they're looking for a younger version on the team I think they will be somewhat competitive all these guys are gonna in here to prove a point but I do think England will win I think in a win boy about 8 to 10 points I think you're almost cool to get to the 60 minute and be ready to host many more like score a few Troy is the last 20 yeah I think Philly yeah Billy point a poll is out of this competition as well he's a mass loss he's all the best players in the world like not just best embrace when the best players like you do it all like when his talks are down around his ankles you know he means business or as pants border but AM yeah as you said we're gonna be rolling through out the hole invitation as well like I'm really looking forward to the six-nation so saying like you can't beat the six-nation crack like I swear to god I'm sure it's like we obviously have people from Scotland Wales England and they that follow the show and I'm France Bonjour I'm France and Italy actually is a poor they're like Guinness for top top troy score oh my god that's actually one thing I didn't even think about yeah I'm gonna go a cocking singer for England for me I think it's been two people he gets Adams for Wales Andrew Conway for Ireland I think he's very prone to scoring like two or three Roy's the one game just get the head down and run yeah so as we said we're going to come back in for round two round three round four round five well there Ross pre-tournament predictions who do you think is gonna be lifting the trophy and who do you think is gonna be lifting our wooden spoon Oh obviously a low say Ireland I'm gonna say Wales win the Six Nations again with five or four wins and one loss and I'm gonna say Italy will have the wooden spoon I think Ireland England I think we are very typing tray them yeah and yourself because the Saracens problems wing guns no I'm gonna go for like the demented people are gonna like this now and I actually think England are gonna winner I think are gonna come second if we got off to a good start and Wales to come toward France for its cotton 56th who knows what happens in round two I do take on Wales in Dublin and then I take it all back on are gonna win Roy well it's just the way the fixtures are set France are in the hallway yeah it's like this year is like our cycle where it's harder for us to win it for people that understand we have more with our trickier games away from home you know that's what it's one yeah isn't fully paid same two teams away of him teams at home but that's the way it is but boys hands mean from Washington if your logo is Ruby make sure to hit subscribe on Spotify YouTube whatever you're watching it on time so much for watching as always and as always stay energized
