‘I guarantee you players don’t feel right about Joe’s decision’ Luke Fitzgerald on Devin Toner
from The Left Wing · host Irish Independent
Fresh from being called a xenophobic, Brexit-eering, Boris Johnson wannabe, Luke Fitzgerald is back on the Left Wing with Will Slattery this week to defend and explain his anger at the Devin Toner World Cup snub.“We’re not talking about people coming over in a boat like refugees. We’re trying to keep the international game separate and special. It’s special to be Irish, you can’t just give it out for nothing.”Luke also believes that many players in the Irish World Cup squad feel the same way and don’t agree with Joe Schmidt’s decision.Voicing his opinions and disappointment on the show was Ian Madigan who has played under Schmidt at Rugby World Cups and gives an insight into the decision-making process to Schmidt’s game-plan.Plus, the lads discuss the other parts of the squad make-up including the omission of Will Addison and the lack of depth at 9.For more from the Left Wing you can visitwww.independent.ie/podcasts/the-left-wing/ The Left Wing is sponsored by Aldi.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
