We look at Ireland's team selection, which relies heavily on experience (8:00), and we look at how Andy Farrell appears to be no closer to figuring out the long-term plans at prop (15:20).
Bernard breaks down down the discipline issues both sides have been dealing with in 2024 (28:35), and the role Johnny Sexton will have with Ireland's out-halves (32:20).
We also examine the new law interpretation around kick-chase blockers, and what impact that has had on the game in recent weeks (37:35), and how Ireland can look to take advantage of one particular player in the New Zealand backfield (42:50).
