On the latest episode of The Left Wing podcast, Will Slattery is joined by Rúaidhrí O'Connor to discuss the Ireland team to face Samoa.

Andy Farrell's selection gives some indication as to his thinking ahead of Monday's squad announcement, and Rúaidhrí reads the tea leaves as to who he thinks will be on 
the plane.

Ireland's out-half situation, centre partnerships and final World Cup preparations are all up for discussion too.

Join us for Sunday’s post-match analysis show as Rúaidhrí O’Connor and Cian Tracey discuss Ireland’s performance against Samoa, plus on Friday’s Left Wing, we have an interview with La Rochelle star, Dillyn Leyds.
