03 Oct 2025
This week, Seán, Johnny and Podge are back together, with Johnny still buzzing after his class performance last weekend, saving his club from relegation at 47 years of age and getting another big moment in the spotlight. Podge’s weekend on the sideline didn’t go quite as well, while Leinster suffered a tough loss in South Africa.The lads dive into Rugby 360 and the Saudis’ latest interest in the sport, drawing comparisons with LIV Golf. They chat about marquee players, the money on offer, and whether blacklisting will really stop players from taking the opportunity. The conversation takes in women’s rugby too, with standout performances at the World Cup, and some of the English players already putting pen to paper with Rugby 360.On the GAA side, they discuss player grants, the community role of county boards, and Dan Flynn’s retirement after an outstanding career with Kildare. Johnny reflects on the sacrifices of his early days under Micko, and shares advice for young players on making the most of their window to compete. They also weigh in on the new rules, why 94% of inter-county players are happy with the refresh, and how they’re affecting club football heading into winter.The episode rounds off with predictions for the upcoming Kildare championship semi-finals and a heads-up that there’ll be no episode next week, with an exciting interview coming in the coming days.All About The Game is proudly brought to you by Clinched.
