- Former Ireland outhalf Ian Madigan & Indo Sport’s Cian Tracey join Joe to preview Ireland’s final test match of this November window, as Joe Schmidt takes his Australia side to Lansdowne Road. Coverage of the Autumn Series on Indo Sport is brought to you by Energia.
The rugby coverage on this is so so much better than what off the ball are offering
Yup I agree
Off the ball were fine till they went pay per view subscription! And sure as shite is brown and stinky THIS will do the same in the future
Apart from thornley and dunne
@@jacobkelly1407somewhat valid point. At times I think they’re excellent but then I wonder am I just impressed relatively the other OTB pundits ie Alan Quinlan, Fiona Hayes, James Treacy are so so poor, vanilla and hard to listen too 🤷
@@dermot_desmond_69you are right there the rest are shite
I hope Schmidt gets a positive reaction from the Irish crowd. He deserves it.
totally
he definitely will, overall very respected in Ireland
Deserves a big welcome. 👏
Ian Madigan explains rugby very clearly. A pleasure to listen to his insights.
This is a bloody good show. 3 guys are excellent and compliment each other really well.
Madigan had particularly great insights this week. Really enjoyed his analysis- Joe definelty gets the best out of him with the technical questions. He is so much better than Fitzgerald
Madigan is too PC. At least Fitz isn't afraid of going against the narrative and have his own opinion.
@@PB22559 Fitzgerald is narrow minded, if it's not a Leinster player he's not interested! True Blue!
I like Luke Fitzgerald. That pod with himself, Will, and whoever else is my favorite personally.
@@Camcolito Same here. That's the best Irish rugby content if you ask me.
Check out the KOKO show if you haven't already. Great banter mixed in with some rugby talk
@@seanhaigh6192funny that you say that since Fitzgerald was speaking against selecting Prendergast over Crowley
There is no bounce back for Crowley, he's a class player and I think more is being made of this than what is actually happening. Crowley is still number 1. Prendergast and Frawley will be fighting it out for number 1 in Leinster. I believe Farrell is giving Prendergast an opportunity at the helm.
This is a friendly and a great chance to blood new options without the pressure of results based tournaments such as the 6 nations. The last world cup we came up short having only an outhalf in his late 30s playing 80 min.
This is positive. FFS people complain when the manager doesn't blood new players and complain when he does.
Ian Madigan explains these breakdown technicalities very well . Joe will get a great response from the Irish crowd …. he’s very well respected and liked by rugby people in this country I think
Great coverage...well done.
I would have gone for Crowley myself but I can understand why Prendergast has been picked. We will learn a lot about him on Saturday. The other option would be to wait until the Italy game in the 6N to give him a start in a big game (even then, Italy are looking less and less of a easy game). Will be interesting to see how Crowley reacts to this selection - I don't see him as the kind of player who will sulk but it's going to test him.
"Crowley can bounce back from this" stops making sense when he hasn't lost his spot on merit.
Confidence wise
Ian Madigan is excellent I must say that was a pleasure to listen to and educational. I’d love to hear him on the left wing with Luke Fitz!
Crowley needs to feel the pressure on his position like any one else. He’s not been discarded by any means.
No other player has been put under pressure. Our wingers have been poor, both defensively and in an attack; James Ryan has done nothing to warrant inclusion while Beirne has to play both his own position and then out of position to cover Ryan. Joe McCarthy has been a disciplinary nightmare and really needs to get his head screwed on. Nobody has been tried adequately in any other position, but Sam Prendergast just suddenly is starting out half? No offence Simon, but your statement does not hold up in isolation.
insights on this podcast were fascinating. great pod lads.
Love the technical detail Ian brings to the discussion. However I struggle with the terminology. It would be great Joe if you could do a series on the various aspects of the rugby game ie the scrum, the breakdown, the line out, defense strategy , attack strategy .etc.....explain the current rules to the ordinary joe like me who played rugby in famine times . Love the pod.
😂😂😂 As a south African I was truly ready to correct you guys about the quarter final😂😂😂
water is wet, the sky is blue and saffas are petty.
Good to know that SA fans are monitoring things on Irish podcasts, just enough time in-between watching all the SA podcasts fawning over their mighty Boks, who are very good at scraping 1 point wins.
Don't worry, we remember all too well! 😂
@@SMacCuUladhI think that was a joke, don't be so precious
@@Poppillon mine was a joke
In the internationals outside of 6 Nations and World Cup selection is never just about form or merit for Farrell & Co. It's more about the blend of experience and youth, balancing the partnerships within the squad and figuring out the resources for the big matches. Crowley is not displaced on merit, he'd be starting against a top six team.
Madigan is the best pundit and I listen to them all
I was not a fan, but he is improving all the time, I enjoyed listening to him yesterday particularly
Jonathan Davies Jiffy is the best pundit.
Listen to his commentary there is no better.
The Irish are all biased and no clue. Which explains why they never make it past the quarter finals.
Of the past three RWCs wasn't Ireland ranked 1?
Suggest Ireland need to rethink their tournament planning.
Why won't Conor O'Shea coach Ireland?
@@davidbroadley2983 jiffy is a joke
I never lost my love for Joe Schmidt, Andy Farrell SturartLancaster & the Irish rugby board for bringing Irish rugby into the professional era . Not forgetting we are human in the first place & we make mistakes but not too many . Everybody said that you can't beat the Irish ,, you have to take them seriously since the professional ect , ect . Andy Farrell is doing a great job for us with what has been developed since the professional era & long may it last . The team selection for the Australian game is as strong an Irish that team that I've ever seen .Andy is the manager that's alright with me . The result is a win for Ireland . I'll take a o e point win . Come on the boys in green .
Crowleys from Cork Joe!
The way Ian Madigan describes rugby is art
If there's one thing Ireland need it's competition for all positions, fly-half included. If Crowley is smart he'll use this as motivation to turn his form around. Same goes for Frawley. Smart coaching from Farrell
The thing is, Crowley's form has been good. Prendergast gets a yellow, two balls kicked out on the full, and he's a God. Crowley has a perfect first half and a couple of normal mistakes in the beginning of the first half, and he's a disaster.
His form isn't bad at all.
@fergalohearga9594 His form has been poor since the start of the URC season. He had a nightmare in Munster's games down in SA. He was average at best against NZ. Played well for 30 minutes the following week, but then faded as the pumas got control of the game. Farrell clearly sees he's struggling for form, hence the Prendergast pick. But there's no reason why he can't turn the form around and regain the 10 shirt for the Six nations
How can a lad who is supposed to be an Irish rugby journalist not have read Sexton's autobiography.
This is a true test for Prendergast. He did well last week, and it’s fair enough. Everyone knows Crowley is still the first choice, I don’t understand the manufactured drama around this. Farrell hasn’t gotten many looks at Prendergast and he needs to develop depth at 10 ahead of the next World Cup. It’s not a popularity contest. Also, I reckon Farrell will take Crowley on the Lions tour and won’t be brining Prendergast, so taking an opportunity in the Autumn Nations to get Prendergast game time just makes sense all around.
As a Munster and Crowley fan bring on the challenge. It will make Jack a better player and he has a very high ceiling.
This is not the disaster for Crowley that is being portrayed in the media. Farrell is confident enough in Prendergast and is taking the opportunity to play him against a strong, well-coached opponent. This is in a position that has had huge question marks over it for a number of years now in terms of depth. I have little doubt that Crowley is, at the moment, still Farrell's first choice outhalf.
Very enjoyable listen, come on Ireland
It's ridiculous to have a URC clash with an international weekend
This match is outside the international window which is why the clash is on. No other teams bar Australia and Ireland are playing and some Australian players based in France had to return to their french clubs so won't feature this weekend as it's outside the window. It's for the 150th anniversary hence why the match on this weekend when it's not an international window
Previous years we had four weekends of rugby in November. Often only three weekends, sure, but its not be uncommon to have four weekends. Highly rated!
This is not done on a whim hes obviously doing good in camp training
Just started listening... I'm hoping you'll give a bit of time to the match in Belfast tomorrow...
Edit: no mention, but, to be fair, this edition was billed as an Ire v Oz preview. I'll let you off this time! 😅
Andy is correctly concentrating on the next world cup. Sam is being fast forwarded and Crawley will be an equal choice going forward, too. We can't depend on just one number 10.
Andy is 100% right to pict Sam.
Why would Farrel do that to Jack, no excuses for that..yes theres a battle between Sam & Jack ,thats good for Ireland, but its obvious farrell favours sam,hes made its pretty clear in all his interviews, disgusting behaviour from farrell to a young lad.
It's not disgusting, he's the coach and he picks the team, you have no idea why he has picked Sam, Jack is not a child, don't get your panties in a bunch.
I'm not debating who got picked, maybe read my comment properly before commenting
@@helenmoylan567 you're not debating anything, you're just spouting emotional blatherskite.
Crowley is still on the bench, Frawley has been dropped completely on the back of 20 minutes on the backfoot against NZ when the whole team was playing like shit.
I think Farrel dealt with all this so badly, it’s obvious he is just trying to get prendegast more time playing in Leinster/Ireland and I think that’s a good thing but he could have done that without being so disrespectful to Crowley.
Disrespectiul and insulting to Frawley who unlike the Crowley and Prendergast has never been given a start at 10 or a full game but is dropped off the bench for this game. Did Leo ring Farrell and tell how how to crap on Frawley ?
@@jackbeag I am also a bit baffled as to why Frawley is not even on the bench. I think if he had as much easy front-foot ball as Prendergast he could have done even more damage. Osborne gets injured so he doesn't even get a chance to make it up, fills in at 15 playing well overall, and then is dropped??
I said early on that he looks slow, there's no way he making a line break andsprinting for the line, good teams will work him out, there lots of hope for Crowley yet.
Well ya I don’t know how frawley is thinking about all this, it will be interesting to see next week what Leo Cullen does, he has frawley and Ross Byrne to think of managing (as well as Barret and prendagast) if there’s no injuries one of them is getting left out for the rest of the year.
Gerry u are smart man as every body knows gerry hutch no 1 a man of is word u got my vote
is Farrell a bit spooked by Schmidt in going for the guy who has less video evidence to go on?
Ireland by 3 scores. in the region of 20 points. +/-
If Aus perform like they did against Wales or England, it'll be a tight game. If they play like they did against Scotland, Ireland will win it by a couple of scores.
Statement victory
@@JJ82IOE there's no real statement against OZ mate. OZ are the wales of the southern hemisphere, once lofty now shite. Joe schmidt is doing a great job of turning shite into somehting you might burn in the fire.... but ultimalty its still SHITE!
@@DAGATHire there's a statement victory had against anyone buddy, just boils down to the manner of the victory ;)
@@JJ82IOE fair point.. what manner of victory would you consider a statement against the aussies? IMO,ireland would need to put 50+ on them to call it a statement, cos ireland are deffo gonna put 30+ on the board.
Prendergast will be targeted and shown to be too indecisive and complicated far too close to the line. He's going to find out that you don't have the time and that the players around you need clearer signals.
Every 10 gets targeted in every game. He's probably been targeted all his playing life
@@grahamshaw3802 He's never played test rugby against a side like Aus though. Expect Aus to pick up an intercept or maybe two.
Farrell just play the Linster team and forget about the rest of the country. It’s going that way anyway.
@@johnoconnor2834 grow up
Yea you should manage the team. Get Farrell out 🤦🏼😂
15:14 thats because life in Munster is easy for Crowley. He hasn't got any competition. Sam has a lot of competition in Leinster and doesn't mind taking that challenge on. If Crowley is going to sulk for being on the bench then maybe he isn't the man, if he can't handle a bit of competition. Its about the 23 man SQUAD ont the starting 15. This is why Munster fail because they worry too much on the starting 15, long gonevare the days of it being the important starting 15.
Gerry igave u no 1 best of luck
Schmidt thinks we have short memories? Oh we remember too well the weak exit to Argentina in 15 and the loss to Japan and the walloping by NZ in 19. He did a lot of good but let's not downplay his failures.
Correct. The same could be said for Farrell who also couldn't get Ireland past the QF. Great series win in NZ though and drawn series in SA.
@@PB22559 I agree. I think the best coach in the world at the moment is Rassie (pulling the scrum on the mark in that game made the big French forwards have to work where they had only 1 scrum in the previous SA game -Rassie didn't allow the big French guys rest while kicking tennis was attempted by their backs, a deliberate team tactic). When you see the difference that the playing times that the Irish had in comparison to the SA panel. Many Irish had double the minutes on the pitch at the QF stage. Some players (especially the older ones) were fading and NZ made some of them look bad by the second half.
13:00 funny.
Its sickening what has been done to Crowley. Shame on the Leinster press and Farrell. Pathetic.
😂 How old are you 13..?
@@Dan-e4c5eJesus, but you’ve some wit on you.
@@fergalohearga9594 🤡
@@fergalohearga9594 you don't
Farrell WAS too dependent on Sexton and refusal to substitute him with Crowley at RWC was a serious error. Sexton‘s presence in the coaching set up would suggest that Farrell is still too dependent on him. Regardless of the merits of either player (I personally think Crowley is the better) Farrell’s treatment of Crowley has been humiliating and unfair.
Rassie showed that you finish with your strongest team. the old idea of subs being second choice is debunked.
No it isn't, it's ok for Rassie with incredible depth you can afford to switch out players with similar ability.
15 minutes speaking about crawley and prendergrast in a world cup final that will never happen 😂😂
