Ian and Eimear are joined by Irish centre Sene Naoupu on House of Rugby Ireland to look back on a brutal day at the office for Andy Farrell and his players. We hear about a classy post-match gesture from injured Ireland captain Johnny Sexton and there's an interesting discussion on body image and the right 'fighting weight' for rugby.
It happened again... Ireland have been knocked out of the rugby world cup at the quarter-finals, this time by New Zealand. Maire Treasa Ní Dhubhghaill is joined in the House of Rugby studio by former Ireland player Mike Ross and former Munster man Johne Murphy as they pick up the pieces from Saturday's defeat. They look back on the game and what went wrong for Ireland. They look to the future of this team and what comes next with so many players finishing up. And what about Johnny Sexton?

Maire Treasa Ní Dhubhghaill is joined in the House of Rugby studio by former Ireland and Ulster player Darren Cave, and by JOE.ie Editor Pat McCarry to look back on the second weekend of the Rugby World Cup. They chat about Johnny Sexton, his record-breaking try that pushes him to the top of Ireland's all-time scorers list. But what makes him special? Darren Cave explains what it was like to train with him. They look ahead to the South Africa game next week, what Ireland should be wary of with the Springboks, but why they shouldn't actually fear them at all. Plus, former Ireland player CJ Stander explains why he'll be supporting the boys in green, rather than his homeland of South Africa. 0:00 - 0:30 - Intro 0:32 - 4:10 - RWC weekend reaction 4:14 - 15:22 - Ireland 59-16 Tonga - Analysis of Ireland's win 15:23 - 18:30 - Jonny Sexton - What makes him special 18:31 - 28:30 - Ireland's strength in depth 28:35 - 34:30 - Other results across the weekend 34:35 - 42:00 - Ireland v South Africa preview 42:30 - 45:00 - Bundee Aki impresses 45:00 - 47:36 - Predictions
