REWARDING YOURSELF WITH membership of The42 will give you access to more benefits than Jurgen Klopp has had centre-back pairings, and with another tasty line-up in store for the week ahead, there’s scarcely been a better time to get involved.
Membership includes exclusive podcasts, newsletters, prizes, insights and more. By joining our community, you’ll also be supporting independent journalism and helping us to continue producing the kind of stuff that keeps you coming back.
Here are some of the fresh benefits that our members can avail of this week:
As ever on a Monday, our own Murray Kinsella will be accompanied by leading analyst Eoin Toolan for Rugby Weekly Extra.
With interprovincial action in the Guinness Pro14 to dissect, as well as a round of Six Nations fixtures to look ahead to, there’ll be plenty for the lads to get stuck into.
They’ll also take the time to field questions from the members’ WhatsApp group, which is populated by engaged and informed rugby fans from all over the country. Entry, which is part of the membership package, allows you to shape the show.
Tuesday will deliver the latest instalment of Behind The Lines, during which Gavin Cooney will be in discussion with another guest from the world of sportswriting.
Following his death in November, expect the late, great Diego Maradona to feature prominently when Argentinian journalist Marcela Mora y Araujo takes centre stage on the podcast.
There’s also a special helping of BTL coming your way on 16 March, when members will be able to join us for a live (online) event with the award-winning Wright Thompson of ESPN The Magazine. We’ll let you know soon how to sign up for that one.
On Thursday, the next in our series of Bylines essays will land. Writer and filmmaker Dave Tynan is doing the honours on this occasion, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
The coaching podcast, How To Win At Dominoes, has gone on recess for now, but the full back catalogue will remain available for you to delve into at your convenience. The same goes for our other podcasts, such as Really Into Years, Warriors and The Football Family.
If you haven’t already done so, you can grab yourself a membership for just €5 a month – or €42 per year – by clicking here. Thank you for your support; it’s never taken for granted, but particularly during these challenging times.
