They’re back!

Gavin Andrews and Conor Murray are joined by Ulster and Ireland centre James Hume to break down Ireland's dramatic 33-31 victory over Australia in the opening match of the Nations Championship.

The panel analyse the key moments that turned the game in Ireland's favour, from Hugo Keenan's outstanding return to Andy Farrell's half-time intervention and the composure shown in the closing stages. James also shares his experience of working under Andy Farrell, offering an insight into the Ireland head coach's man-management style and the standards he sets within camp.

Plus, the lads discuss Ireland's growing squad depth, who impressed most against the Wallabies, and what the win means ahead of next week's clash with Japan.
