Former English rugby player and current commentator Stuart Barnes joins Joe to further unpack Andy Farrell’s Lions’ selections and reflect on Leinster’s Champions Cup exit.
They discuss how Blair Kinghorn could prove the perfect caveat to Finn Russell, why Owen Farrell’s omission may have been the right call and where the Lions’ tour currently sits amongst the hearts and minds of rugby fans.
Barnes also dissects Leinster’s Champions Cup semi final loss to Northampton, the Irish side’s tendency to crumble under expectation and his thinking surrounding their decision not to go for the posts in the closing moments of the game.
