6N title still on, whither Irish sparkle, Clare isolation




Second Captains show

Summary: The Grand Slam is gone, but we think Ireland are still in with a great chance of winning the 6N... Gerry Thornley and Mattie Williams are not so sure the sparkle will return in time for Murrayfield. Clare were All-Ireland champions in 2013, but the internal strife in Davy Fitzgerald's camp was laid clear in Saturday's Irish Times - we talk about the "isolation and humiliation" felt by one player who left the panel last week. Plus there's shamrock on the brain, Ken's Neil Francis obsessions and one Celtic captain's night on the tiles.
