What insights do Ben and Shane share about the League of Ireland matches?
Off the Ball Rugby.
He was at the Stormers for a long time, yeah. He's such a good coach. When I say coach, I mean the work ethic, the detail, the way he conveys it. No ego. You don't see him trying to take any media limelight. He's not coming with celebrity. He just wants to win. And I think he's one of the best coaches I've ever come across.

Just making my way out of Richmond Park here in Inchcore and I believe Shane Keegan is just making his way out of Talca Park. Shane, how are you?
In great form, Ben. Just trying to make my way down Dorset Street here. So I am at a quick ball for the car after an absolute cracker of a game. I genuinely can't say, or I genuinely can say I haven't enjoyed it. Enjoy the game as well. You can keep your World Cup for a while, Ben.
that's exactly what I said as well tonight Shane and my preview of the game there on the radio I said don't mind the World Cup the real action is in the League of Ireland tonight what a night of football go on talk me through what happened in Taka first because that scoreline is just well dare I say it's a bit astonishing yeah I don't know look I thought it was good signs of improvement in shells before the break they'd started to show that defensive solidity again that they're
their previous success was built on after a period of time where they seem to be creating goals or conceding goals that are ridiculously, uh, concerning rate of knots. The defensive salinity had been back a thought before the break.
Um,
They were excellent tonight. They were absolutely excellent tonight. As were Rovers. It was two cracking teams. Every substitution made seemed to be an attacking substitution. Both managers were just completely going for it. Shells made ridiculously attacking substitutions at one all, which showed real, real intent from Joey. We ended up with basically... centre halves staying at home ridiculously attacking full backs or winning backs one sitting midfielder in JJ Looney on one side and Matt Healy on the other side and after that it was just a free for all of attacking players coming from here there and everywhere I'm not sure whether I'm putting two and two together and coming up with five here, but I think the new rules might have blended to it a little bit as well, Ben.
I don't know if you saw much of a difference in your one, but I was on close commentaries with Steve-O, and we didn't have a chance to catch our breath. Normally, where you're in time when a lad is down injured or taking five minutes to come off or they're setting up a long throw, none of those things existed in tonight's game. It was nothing.
non-stop action absolutely end to end and Shelton's probably deservedly just about coming out and topping it yeah I did notice that as well to be honest with you Shane I saw the referee putting up the five seconds for throw-ins a couple minutes in and I was like you know it had completely slipped my mind that we were in this new age just before it but we had one overturned I don't know if you had any where it was fully implemented no we didn't
Yeah, we had one, I would say. Sean Gannon wasn't long on the field and, yeah, went about taking the throw. Harvey put his hand up and literally Sean Gannon threw it just as he had got to zero. But as far as he was concerned, he had got to zero. He overturned it and, I mean, there was maybe 15 minutes left at that stage. And, I mean, that was a signal that, look, not one of you are going to get away with any form of time wasting here. So nobody bothered to try from there on.
Yeah, well, look, we did have it in our game, but it was a little bit more stuff started. There was a lot of head injuries. There was a couple of bad tackles went in. There was one moment where, look, I got to speak to Stephen Kenny after the game, fortunately, I didn't get to speak to Kevin Doherty.
