The All Blacks put Ireland to the sword at Eden Park and Justin Marshall and Jeremy Paul aren't holding back, calling out the Irish for blaming the ref instead of themselves. Marshy and JP break down the Tupou Vaa'i blindside masterstroke, the bench that's finally delivering "championship minutes", the Luke Jacobson TMO call that got common sense right, and whether Quinn Tupaea at 13 is the answer heading into South Africa.
Then James O'Connor joins the show, fresh off the Mad Monday that saw him sleep through last week's episode, to reveal he's told Les Kiss he's available for the Wallabies, why the spine is costing Australia games, and where Joseph Aukuso Sua'ali'i really should be playing.
