Good morning and welcome to Thursday's OTB AM - Kieran Donaghy's in studio with Ger this morning as we bring you a special Kevin McManamon interview, plus we're checking in with our man in Japan, Eoin Sheahan for the Irish Rugby team!
Changes! We're talking through all of the Ireland changes as Joe Schmidt names his starting fifteen to face Japan.
From 30:00 - Dublin star Kevin McManamon is in studio, with thanks to SuperValu - to chat through the Dublin five in-a-row, the celebrations, his role in the last decade of success, and what's next!
We've got the sports pages too. Manchester United beat Rochdale on penalties, while Chelsea and Liverpool got the job done! Paul Pogba didn't captain Man United last night, and didn't take a penalty either as the pressure on Ole continues. What were the big Irish stories from last night? Phil Egan is talking us through the performances of Brighton's Aaron Connolly, plus Caoimhin Kelleher's debut for Liverpool.
We'll be hearing from Joe Schmidt, Rory Best, Conor Murray, Bernard Brogan, Andy Dunne, James Lowe and some Irish Rugby super fans, who have been on an incredible adventure to go an watch the team in Japan!
There's all of that and much more right across the morning!
