This morning I was delighted to speak to Senior Sports Reporter for the Irish Examiner, Simon Lewis!

Simon has a decade of experience in the field and as a Munster fan he is delighted to be able to write, report and on occasion follow his beloved team around which increases the joy and satisfaction Simon gets from the game no end.

Simon was kind enough to make time for me on his travels as from his location in La Rochelle he was getting ready for tomorrows pre-season friendly between Ronan O'Gara's La Rochelle and his old club Munster! Forgive the WIFI dropout around minute 11 however we didn't let it stop us 🤣

You can find Simon at @irishexaminer and across all other social media platforms 👍

In my final video about the summer leg of Nations Championship Series, I break down what has been an exceptionally action-packed tournament that, with thanks to the new format, has revolutionized the Summer and Autumn Internationals!

From edge-of-seat thrillers to one-sided bulldozing performances the first three games for every team had it all. I'll go over the scores, moments that caught my eye, analysis of the six home nations along with where I think they will go from here, what we can expect in the second leg of the competition along with final standings for the summer series!

In Round Three of the Nations Championship, Ireland face off against their old nemesis New Zealand at the All Black’s “mecca” Eden Park!

Since 1994 when France shocked the world with a 22 – 8 victory over the All Blacks, in the following 31 years and 52 matches the All Black’s remain undefeated at Kingsland.

It’ll be a return for Ireland who last set foot at Eden Park in 2022 in which they suffered a 41 – 19 loss at the hands of the All Blacks before going on to win their first ever Summer Tour of New Zealand and climbed the World Rugby Rankings to No1.

In this video I break down the history between these two international heavyweights, discuss the key players who will be integral to a legendary win at Eden Park, thoughts, facts, opinions and predictions on not only Ireland’s behemoth challenge but on the remaining fixtures in the final round of the Nations Championship!
