Show Notes
For this bonus edition of Scoreline Extra (now becoming The Knock On), we're honing in on matters rugby following Ireland's disappointing start to the 2021 Guinness Six Nations.
There's plenty of debate around Irish rugby circles at the moment given Ireland's opening two defeats for this year's tournament.
Our Stephen Byrne is joined by former Leinster back row, Chris Pimm, to talk about a few of the big points in rugby at the moment including
- the successor to Johnny Sexton
- Ireland's lack of a game plan under Andy Farrell
- the depth of players at all levels, in particular, the forwards
- what makes a good back-rower
- the gulf in quality from our world-class players to some of those in the current Irish squad
- and more
