The match will have serious ramifications for both sides as they prepare for the Autumn Internationals.

The panel goes through top squad lists for the upcoming series and we grill Les Kiss over the omission of Bob Casey.  Les also reacts to Scott Johnson’s prediction that Ireland won’t go back to back in 2010.

Ewen McKenzie answers questions about the Stade Francais controversy brewing in the French press.
