The countdown is on and the World Cup is on the horizon. How do Ireland look before leaving for Japan and where will Garry Ringrose play? We have a theory...
On this week's show, the lads caught up with referee Wayne Barnes to discuss his relationship with Irish players, the ruck and tackle as well as the upcoming World Cup. 
Elsewhere, Maurice has a look at the trends in the current game and what that means for the tournament. We discuss that viral South Africa photo and jumping to assumptions.
