ON TO THE next one, as Jay Z once said.
Saturday’s shock defeat to Japan still hangs heavy over the Irish camp, but with just a five-day turnaround between games, Joe Schmidt’s side won’t have to wait long for a chance to get their Rugby World Cup back on track.
As we continue our build-up to Thursday’s meeting with Russia, we’d like to remind you of the exciting new features we’ve got for The42 Members throughout the tournament.
The first is Rugby Weekly Extra, a brand-new series of member podcasts. Murray Kinsella has been dialling in from Japan every day for a quick chat to give us his thoughts on that day’s action and to bring us up to speed on the latest news from the Ireland camp. Tuesday’s pod is live now with Murray’s reaction to the Ireland team to face Russia, the significance of Sexton’s captaincy, Henshaw’s continued absence and much more.
Then, after you’ve caught up on that, you can join The42 Members WhatsApp group to chat about all the day’s latest news. As the name suggests, the group is exclusive to The42 Members, and it has been up and running for the past few weeks with lots of chat around the big games and Ireland’s team selections as well as any other interesting stories. Murray is checking in there too with updates from Japan, and the rest of our rugby team are also on hand to discuss and debate any big news.
You can sign up today for just €5 a month or €42 a year and start to enjoy all of these extra benefits right away.
As well as these World Cup benefits, there’s also two more exclusive podcast series, our member-only Insiders Newsletters (including a rugby dispatch from Murray), monthly draws for great sporting prizes, and much, much more.
