Summary
It’s a pod mash-up on this latest episode of Rugby Union Weekly as Sara is joined by former Ireland and Lions scrum half Conor Murray – who stars in one of our sister podcasts, The Ireland Rugby Social.

They chat the selection issues that Andy Farrell might have ahead of the team being announced, as well as debating that 10 position in the Ireland squad – and the pressure it puts on the players.
