This week, Bressie makes his hat-trick appearance on Irishman Abroad and it’s truly amazing how much has changed for Niall since then. In this incredibly honest conversation, Niall opens up about how he sometimes feels that he cannot offer people enough (14:00) and how the Irish government is only ‘box-ticking’ at the moment with services aimed at improving the emotional well-being of young people (16:00).
From revealing why The Blizzards took a break (46:00) to his views on how the support system was not in place for the winners of The Voice (54:00) and how he was thrown out of a death metal band for being “absolutely shit at shredding” (44:00), this is a fantastic conversation with one of Ireland’s most outspoken and honest mental health activists.

This week, Jarlath was joined by Leinster and Ireland legend Bernard Jackman alongside former Munster and Leicester star Johne Murphy in front of a packed house at Currency Fair’s offices in Dublin for a chat about all things Six Nations. The lads spoke about the possibility of bad blood between Joe Schmidt and Warren Gatland (8:00), why ruthlessness is needed to be at the top of your game (15:00) and the poor French attitude to rugby that raises it’s head in certain areas (36:00).
From Johne speaking frankly about why he believes Munster handled the doping situation really badly (45:00) to Andrew Porter being an athletic ‘freak’ (42:00) and the hilarious story of how a total lack of independence can befall a young professional rugby player (29:00) this is a fantastic spirited chat with two top rugby men.

With incredible detail, Luke gives an account of how it all blew up between himself and Paul Kimmage who had ‘shafted him’ (4:00), explains how Joe Schmidt ‘could decimate you with a single line’ and the time he felt like head-butting the man himself (53:00).
Having spent half of his career sidelined due to injury, Luke is in a perfect position to speak about resilience and he does just that (35:00). From his thoughts on the current Irish team’s chances (51:00), to his honest appraisal of Nigel Owens (1:06:00) and why he believes Johnny Sexton is Leinster’s best player of all time (1:08:00), this is a fascinating conversation with one of the most honest voices in Irish rugby.

From his view of "the incredible mind" of JP McManus (16:00) to the secret to finding true happiness (31:00), why he doesn't think he'll ever move home to Ireland (37:00) and his honest response to the moment he was told that a knighthood was on the cards (38:00), this is a fascinating conversation with a true sporting icon.
