'O'Donoghue For Footballer Of The Year' Diarmuid Connolly

Leinster grabbed the win against Munster on Saturday, but it's another type of clutch performance at the Aviva that has led to Tadhg Furlong being cited. Gavin Cummiskey from the Irish Times joins us to discuss the fall out and what a ban for Furlong could mean for Ireland in the Nations Championship fixtures in November. 

Then Kevin Kilbane joins Ger to chat about the Man Utd permacrisis, Seamus Coleman hinting at a retirement announcement and the weekend's Premier League action.
