Neil Treacy is joined by former Connacht prop JP Cooney to look back on the opening round of the 2024 Guinness Six Nations championship.
The pair look at how Ireland silenced the crowd at Stade Velodrome in Marseille, as they led from start to finish in a record away win against the French.
We break down the performances of two both Joe McCarthy and Jack Crowley, and discuss the great insight on Andy Farrell's man-management that Calvin Nash shared after the game.
This week's pod also looks at the changes made to Ireland's lineout since the World Cup, while we also preview this Sunday's meeting with Italy in Dublin.
