Long live Dobbo's lunatic Stormers, Burns' World Cups come good, and a summer of pressure for Jones and Foster

from Rugby Weekly Extra

On today's show, Bernard Jackman and Ciarán Kennedy join Gavan Casey for a suitably stacked chat following an enthralling weekend of rugby showpieces.'Berch' was on commentary duty for the Stormers' URC final success over the Bulls in Cape Town and he wonders whether he broke the rules by laughing out loud at the sheer insanity that became the final quarter. The lads dig into the Stormers' and former 'party animal' Jon Dobson's journey, and how they're an outlier from other champion teams in modern terms.There were redemption arcs all over the place at Twickenham, too, as Leicester Tigers saw off Sarries to reclaim their spot at the top of the English domestic game. Berch and Ciarán provide insights into the remarkable job Steve Borthwick has done at Welford Road, all of which was crowned with the swing of an Adidas World Cup boot by forgotten man Freddie Burns.After chatting about the Crusaders' Super Rugby final success over the favoured Blues, the lads look ahead to Ireland's tour of New Zealand, where Berch reckons Ian Foster may be a man under pressure -- particularly with Joe Schmidt operating away behind the scenes.And speaking of pressure, how about Eddie Jones? Ciarán and Berch have different interpretations of England's heavy defeat to the Barbarians but a consensus can be formed on one thing: it was pretty funny. Hosted on Acast.
