AI summary AI-generated from the transcript

Energized Show hosts Barry and Ross open by announcing they have been booked for FightCon Cork on 29 February 2020, with Ben Askren confirmed to appear and plans for their first live podcast, possibly including a Q&A, in Cork. The rest of the episode is a reaction to Ireland’s 31-man Rugby World Cup squad announcement made that day by Joe Schmidt. They criticize the squad reveal format (alphabetical listing, Japanese names, social media presentation) and debate selections and omissions at length: Rory Best as 37-year-old captain versus starting Peter O’Mahony, Devin Toner missing out, James Ryan and Iain Henderson as a second-row partnership, and John Ryan replacing Toner with John Klein earning his first Ireland cap against Italy. They discuss Ireland’s recent win over Wales, England’s physical form and Polynesian-born players, quarter-final injury concerns, and preferred forward and back combinations. Across scrum-halves, out-halves, centers, and wingers they weigh Luke McGrath, Conor Murray, Joey Carbery, Johnny Sexton, Bundee Aki, Garry Ringrose, Jacob Stockdale’s return, and Rob Kearney at fullback. They expect the team that starts against Wales at the Aviva that weekend to be largely unchanged for Scotland before the squad heads to Japan.

announced at the arch rock hope the World Cup rugby squad was announced today Rosco it was indeed 31 man squad was announced by Joe Schmidt and first of all Barry Washington think of the way the squad was announced they're really trying to get into it aren't they yeah they basically names all the players but then also put their names and Japanese afterwards and first of all there was two parts this it didn't like number one okay the fact they put it in Japanese afterwards thought that was totally or element number two or don't like the way they announce the squad alphabetically I would have much rather preferred if they broke the players their positions went these the props teased the hookers these are the second rows would you prefer that I do ago we do you mean yeah I took over to me I think order place and like odor like look at the ER times or it even Harold would post it that way yeah just like much easier tree yeah if you only have two minutes local team you go Roy they're there they're there you mean yeah you're looking straight for the props like today oh they're also the filter they put on it was absolutely shocking fair play to do actually yeah and they should different didn't have like Rory best in the bottom corner like captain he is devoid in opinion is well man big time he isn't they we get straight into it them movie no okay if you're enjoying it if you want more rugby shows make sure to give us a like as well and hit that subscribe button Daphne get on to us if you want more rubbish I was yeah so what more is about star where El Capitan we're already best yeah a lot of pundits are fans have been saying as of late that Rory best honest trained skill alone does not actually deserve to start or BR don't happen anymore we all know he peaked last year Denis you really redid no offense no no no like I mean everyone everyone comes and goes look a barred yeah he's in his mid thirties now laters well 37 37 yeah mid to late thirties and it's very much so on for rugby player especially like you're in car crashes every day on the field yeah and people are saying is loneliness sort of you know kind of Roy and that they were saying like his loin it was wrong like that's the reason he's there he's very good loyal fragrance chrome I always find a weird when people hate the Hawker scored in the scroll because he's sorted in the middle no matter what hit a minute look I personally wouldn't start see that's the problem they would like you what's the saying you say do what gotcha to the dance yeah like he's the captain they're not gonna do not connect like from the first game we can't just drop him right and then everyone's like what a mess when they do this last year like he like Schmidt he knew we were going to World Cup next year obviously so avoid need like pre-planned this you know for me I would have started Six Nations without him and have Peter I'm at me captain I'm like your captain Peter money is a cup in any that's what we do in the world hawk me like Peter man he's the new captain well that's the thing you saw like the Lions tours as well players go when whoever's on the forum Dan gets on the pitch like Peter I'm and the end up being the captain the Lions team yeah no yeah so like I'm like whoa yeah yeah but no best was the captain for the lines yeah buddy started it wasn't the captain hope you didn't start I can remember you said no you know there look that's it I'm going home I love the teams and I look at am Sean chrome top Troy score in Europe it's like what's his deal oh yeah didn't we hear some rumor that I suppose he liked not people that were sorted yeah not people they were already triple L that's true or not like Sean there's no Sean O'Brien like his apparently pissed on people important no mean yeah here put away I went loops I was on his page right he's Instagram page and he's going it was some girl who lives in Australia or something she's a sports player anyway and she's absolutely shredded like what the [ __ ] are you gonna tell me getting loads of booze for like let some people know he's these aloose animals those always reduce animals yeah they really are but that sort of went a bit off huh but what we do want to enjoy look yeah let's have a look at this people are not check people are not watching these videos for a good little say Rory best and Sean Cronin and you have North's camel North's camel starts from under his loin it was a bit dodgy against players when he when he was there I over the weekend try to say hard to say really you mean like I haven't seen we haven't said well I've seen North Carroll plays on haven't seen play a lot on your shirt you don't know oh it almost hurts on chrome here you go keen Healy honk Ronan Toit furlong it's the lens from row like hey where do they know each other yeah there you have it like that's how you win like that's the heart your scroll from route so you think it's like if you close your always now and like you picture Earlham win the World Cup can you read a picture or your best lived in the child to Trofeo account not really no I mean all you see Peter Martin left and Rovi yeah then we met him in the airport you didn't even smile my name is the happiest she's ever been to meet your studies biggest look at the second row the props are sort of as expected you know yep your Healy McGraw I don't show you not McGraw where I didn't make it only think Jack Roush we didn't that was actually a surprise as well he was doing surprised at our point and reporter made her coin made and talked for a long obviously made it sir and look strong from row all was happy enough with the team pick wheel yeah and I don't see the thing is I think we're underperforming yeah so although thank God we got our win over Wales in the weekend because people were really cheap hitting the panic buttons her also Joe I said this right so let's see if anyone else who's watching this agrees remembrance Space Jam I went at the loud the aliens with the handlebars ball and they all got read like yeah like that like strong for people are all listening they wouldn't know what a minute but they're the guys to play for England right yeah and find a polar bros too laggy it og and [ __ ] and singer it's almost like they are like superhumans just here because they're not English well that is well bore like they turn up salute monster yeah their Polynesian there's huge like back when like Umaga nanu played in midfield just like Jesus England the oh me when Rock go go we just think yeah those like Polynesians are like they're built differently yeah darling I think England England are just hidden form at the perfect time where's I think are hungry which I think I think are on the become a bit stale now like last year was almost like we won't beat everyone best team in the world and then it's like where'd you go from there you know I do look darlin I do lookin even England just look that bit more physical if that makes sense yeah all across the field even Saracens when the dominance isn't that much I look I look at the way dignity no in Oakland like when Paulo was in May is unbelievable OMPH are like commands games oh well he's also cocky enough to do it as well yeah he's no problem in the 77 minute kick the ball to the corner yeah he's a yes Baldy yeah he's Baldy boy magnet him are very very good they are very well this is about so what island what what are you dev tone are not making the call big dev oh you must be destroyed this is probably the harshest of yeah all the courts yeah and what happens after World Cup down is he gonna be like y'all still play or my she's not home to insure and haw it was an interesting one especially him and James rolling had like so school partnership did have last two years I don't know I feel like you should probably keep the partnerships where they are there we go to both and slow you've taken me out and put John Klein in who got his first Ireland cup against Italy we watch the play yeah I almost seems like that's a kick in the face for Thomas Jones see the things about honoree can be you can only play second row whereas like the blokes are like Henderson can play second row I'm flanker yeah burn no Matt yeah you need me like a hybrid where is a big big toe like but if I look if a line it was so bad when I have the toilets going around on the pitch to me oh you think it's a bit bad not spring impor in their programs they're probably looking for people who offer someone all around the pitch and I think that's maybe why people are question Rory best and why people are question Devon toner and Evan Turner hasn't been brought on the flight yeah well that's the thing that it's I feel like we're only a couple of injuries away from like big problems I think when we get to quarter-final things with like things we won't have a full team like who knows section wouldn't be if you don't have sex when serious to put air I was just looking there it was Jamie he's super saying that and he thinks Jack Owen should start at his TJ standard all you do for ball carrying purposes I think what he's got the bottom huh he scores an awful on Troy's and he's gonna break the game line yeah but I don't see why we can't play standard six a martini at 7:00 and then cone late yes oh yes you basically you've named the team that you want yeah so you've got you've got the front three rows yeah but there's also the argument that you should play Josh founder fair cuz he said would win the ball at seven so the top of the me personally if I was named the pack would be Healy Crone and furlong I probably have and James ruin and Henderson and then ago at six Peter Imani seven founder Flair and eight Jacqueline I'd have stand around the band would you know standard say Creed he was away with the Lions not as well you know I feel like standard hasn't like student Jesus that was great forms bystander in the last seven or eight months I'm like I a lot of most fans got the stander is the best it's like look I can only feel the last seven or eight months and then if you go again and look at some of the players like um down leave you probably start in farland if he's available I mean like I've seen phenomenal Six Nations when they won the Grand Slam and hoozy starting over seven yeah that's where you played and in the Six Nations unlike I almost feel like in Ireland you sort of you pay until you're injured and then that person has an opportunity to win your position yeah I'm like if they do what it out yeah it's like the NFL doesn't yeah bull damn yeah but that seems like a go pack anyway Peter money like it is unbelievable I don't know but like he's always gonna start CJ and Rory best as well obviously because they're you know the first game is so important against Scotland because we like to think about that they're looking to nowhere near Ireland and the time zones are so different because they're gonna be like if they're if they lose that much to Scotland they're gonna be absolutely like oh they have to help it no they have to win all the group games yeah I hate the way we don't get like in Namibia first or Russia first cause then you could sort of join the into it where it's like it straight away balls to the wall you have to win yeah but hing Schmidt's gonna be very smart I'm like when you're playing those like much lesser teams it's gonna be the absolute second choice amen yeah but you have to come play join you sexist against maybe it was like know if you get senior nut game you'd be stopping yeah let's get into the box then you can over the backs nice way for the box yeah so we'll start with scrum-half you have loofah bra Conor Murray and Marmion look all three great choices I feel like John [ __ ] you mister means not here he's not there no right you don't have barman you definitely do not have Marmol poor morrow do you think Luke grab deserves the spot start off from Army and then see that's nuts analytical questions no mysteries to God good connection yes I suppose you have then you have Marie and Joey Carberry / Marie and Johnny text well David the boats probably equally at the stage yeah well who Smitty pickin Luke my graphic oh he most in his happy life like this is a smart way to go about being like right who you yet bring the future now ya know mean open to bring in well bar best oh yeah also loop around like technically he's very very good supplier yeah and look he's played in European Cup final yeoman he's played hi hi you know skill game also marry me and got injured there awhile ago to meet some folks late and you will made him get there walked empty from wrong fo would you yeah for those who don't know what happened and also I have a hobby we brought three oh half sorry Karthik we brought sex and Brock harbour you know that seems very solid obviously is called me between Carberry and Saxon and then car to Mike at no charge II game it's aliens to maybe it yeah maybe in the last game don't actually understand I have to win and then centers we have Bondi Aki Henshaw Chris Farrell on ring Rose Christopher got in fair play to him yeah look I think there are four best centers I think our biggest problems we actually don't know which those here was actually the best combo I know cuz Bundy he's doing like he looks like he's doing alright got a lovely Troy content and fire was probably the one who plays the best day of them all poor Henshaw and ring Rose partners as well but they dress like fire was a corporate liquor he's so physical almost like a good loss you Bundy and Farrell play together and here that works I feel like to bring roles in the entire like the sexy combo yeah there's a flash yeah yummy don't like obviously be but know they're not known for being how to brutes yeah what does he like trove with a bulk in there and see what yeah yeah because I look at the wingers and you have Conway Earl stop their armor like I think they're quite slight if that make sense I like a bit of both midfield yeah I think Earl does definitely gonna start I'm probably stopped tails definitely I'm sorry earlier there are two baths Stockdale put away like he's back again yeah he was play show you for a minute or two Troy's yeah he's back he's the torch of a like just aiming as time for like yeah but like you might ruin open them like absolutely bugged how it out like you know his torches so delicate and accurate and then Rob Carney is definitely our fallback it looks like Larimer and Conway are gonna be the soaps for fullback so that's gonna be interesting to see as well yeah if you could take one person over the squad I'm bring one person into the squad here would it be Chris card well great show oh I'm not sure actually boom I think yeah I think that's all we have really there's no one really in for coin draw I talk calmly I think always get in the made a form now as well and obviously founder fear will be a little person yeah and for me maybe I take our armor and put him without us on I think the armor like Churchill on symbol since he's got to the scene I don't think he's been as good as he was before do you think the team that starts against Wales this weekend in the Aviva and that's the third that's cool you think so yeah even sexing plan yeah Tom's you get injured like deed the receipt hate you know your Barcelona don't call what if Messi gets injured I mean you know he's not playing Ruby like yeah but go it's times mean for watching yeah yeah there's no way you're tossing this Islander plane this weekend at the end they're heading off to Japan Reuters the comment yeah and as always stay energized
