What upcoming rugby matches are highlighted in this episode?
Right, coming up on today's Offload, we're of course looking forward to a big weekend rugby at the URC. Some cracker matches also going down to Munster. And of course, the Green Wave continues. Ireland women going away from home. Claremont, it's a grudge match against the French.
Yes, and we've a special guest, the brilliant Craig Doyle. Brilliant fellow, loves his rugby, but he brought his own guest with him. He brought in his dog.
He did. Big Hank, I tell you what, head on him like Rory Best. Okay, let's go and listen to these important messages. Oh, Doneca, Six Nations is back and there's a real buzz around the girls in green.
You're not wrong, Tommy boy. Yes, momentum is building as we get behind the team this year.
It's set to be a huge few weeks. Big games, big moments, an incredible sport right across the country.
Who is Craig Doyle and what role does he play in rugby media?
And Vodafone is right at the heart of it, backing the team and rallying the fans through the team of us.
There's matches in Galway, Belfast and of course that historic first standalone game at the Aviva. The green wave is growing.
Yeah, so get behind our girls in green with Vodafone and the team of us.
Come on Ireland!
Right. Isn't this just typical? Yeah. Big games this weekend. We were in studio today. We have a super guest for the podcast today. Craig Doyle joined us a little bit earlier on. I forgot to talk about the rugby. We talked all about rugby, but we didn't talk about the matches at the weekend. So we do need to touch on a couple of the games that are coming up. Obviously, the Ireland women's match against France over in Fairmont this weekend. After nine tries against Italy, a record win for them. They're up to third in the league.
What insights does Craig Doyle share about the Ireland women's rugby team?
So that's going to be a cracker, particularly after that quarterfinal in the Rugby World Cup earlier on this year.
Yeah, a little bit. It's right to say bad blood, isn't it? I feel that's bad blood. We were kind of, our dumb boy robbed a little bit. There would be niggle. For us, there was niggle with Argentina because they knocked us out of World Cups. You know what I mean? So I do think this one is definitely, and it's going to be another cracking game, but jeez, what a performance against Italy. And remember we said, you know, Scott Beaman was kind of shaking the nest a little bit in his selection. Jeez, what performances. Bevin, Aoife Wafer. Oh my God. She looked amazing, didn't she? Like just so lightning quick, skinning people, loving an outside break and just burning people.
The amount of work that Aoife Wafer got through. I thought there was two of her out there at one point. it was just because it's in the Dexcom as well in Cork first time playing there good crowd at it pressure was on and like listen to pull out a performance like that particularly after that England you know the first half they talked about being disappointed about so listen huge grudge match next weekend or this weekend coming it's going to be a cracker over in Claremont and like this is going to be the real test I think of this Irish team you know how close can they really get because they have their eyes on the top level. And Wales and Scotland are going to be really difficult to see. There's over 20,000 tickets sold for the Aviva, for the Scottish match, which is going to be the last game of the campaign.
But if they can close in on France and push them right to the wire and maybe force a win away from home. Listen, really exciting. Green Wave is flying, which is brilliant.
Cool. And then saying that, like England look at a different level. You see them against Scotland. That was fairly cool. The Piper again up on the top of the stadium. That is deadly. It's great to see. But imagine if England dropped the ball then against England. It's nice. Like it's three weeks on the books. Against France, you mean? Against France, sorry. England, France. Imagine if France put one out there. I'm getting way ahead of myself. But there I am just thinking of us winning the championship out of nowhere. No one really chatting to us about us all that much. But I must say, I was lifted after that Italian game.
