How do Ireland close the gap after a season of ups and downs?

Neil Treacy is joined by Jonny Holland on the final RTÉ Rugby podcast of the season, as we recap Ireland's Nations Championship tour, and their 40-21 defeat to New Zealand. We look into some of the "uncharacteristic" errors that littered the opening half of their defeat to the All Blacks at Eden Park, which ensured they were always chasing the game on Saturday. Jonny looks at how New Zealand out-half Ruben Love dictated the All Blacks tempo, while we look at the out-half picture in Ireland heading into a World Cup year. We put a microscope over some of the contentious refereeing decisions from Eden Park on Saturday, and ask whether Ireland have a right to feel aggrieved by the yellow card for Luke Jacobson in the first half. And we discuss which players could force their way into the Irish team next season, as Ireland look to close the gap on South Africa, France and New Zealand. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro 05:00 - Have Ireland fallen behind the Big 3 in world rugby? 08:30 - Ireland's uncharacteristic errors 19:00 - Ruben Love's influence for the All Blacks 23:00 - Ireland's out-half picture after this season 27:40 - Ireland's refereeing frustrations 46:25 - How do we look back on Ireland's season as a whole? 50:50 - Who could be Ireland's breakout star next season? 56:30 - Is Jonny confident Ireland can iron out their issues?

All-Ireland final preview | Kerry going back to back | Is it finally Mayo's time | RTÉ GAA Podcast

Tomás Ó Sé and Ciarán Whelan join Cathal Mullaney to look ahead to the biggest game in the calendar, the All-Ireland football final. The Kerry players are looking to deliver back to back titles for Jack O'Connor for the first time in his storied career with Kerry. They're favourites, but how are they dealing with that ahead of a potentially historic occasion. Mayo have been here before - 11 times since 1989 - but you have to go all the way back to 1951 for their last win. This relatively young team doesn't have all of that baggage, so can they be the ones to finally deliver for the green and red? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
