Episode description
Munster man Craig Casey will captain Paul O'Connell's Ireland side for the Summer Tour fixtures against Georgia and Portugal which kicks off this Saturday in Tbilisi. The 26-year-old sat down with Stuart McAvoy to reveal how his emotions when told he would lead the squad across the two games, and why his father was the first person he told. The pair also discussed hopes for the two-game series, in which those not selected for the Lions Tour will be looking to impress in the green jersey ahead of the 2025 Autumn Nations Series.
