The first domestic silverware of the year was handed out in London and Dublin, and Brett McKay and Harry Jones rip into it all for the first Grand Final edition of the Weekend Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast. Bath and Leinster took the spoils in the Premiership and URC deciders respectively, the former overcoming a valiant Leicester and the latter doing enough to stay ahead of and withhold the Bulls. There were Semi Finals of contrast in the Top 14, and it was very similar in Super Rugby Pacific, just much angrier and fightier. And what on earth does any of this have to do with the 2000 film High Fidelity, starring John Cusack? It's a great question… Plus, the conference semi-finalists are underway in Major League Rugby in the States. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #SuperRugbyPacific #UnitedRugbyChampionship #Premiership #Top14 #JapanRugbyLeagueOne #MajorLeagueRugby Find us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@8-9Combo?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1BcKhb24YOtwQhKc0S3sDm Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-8-9-combo-rugby-podcast/id1729575866 Social media: #89Combo Twitter: https://twitter.com/89combo BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/89combo.bsky.social Find Brett and Harry on both Twitter and on BlueSky: @BMcSport + @HaribaldiJones Music: "Stalling" by Topher Mohr & Alex Elena (via YouTube Creator Studio) Voiceovers by Chookman + Sean Maloney Learn more about your ad choices.

A bavarian Stranded in Ireland - Tips und Tricks fuer Deutschsprachige zum Leben in Irland
Hallo liebe Zuhörer, heute wartet mit Folge 58 ein wahnsinnig spannendes Thema auf uns, nicht nur ist es die letzte Etappe der Geschichte Irlands - es ist auch der Übergang zum Irland, das wir heute sehen - und damit geballte Information, die nicht nur für all diejenigen, welche sich für Irland aus kultureller und historischer Sicht interessieren höchst relevant ist, sondern ganz besonders auch die, die mit dem Gedanken spielen auf die grüne Insel zu ziehen und wissen wollen, was sie hierzulande erwartet - ich bin mir genauso sicher, dass auch der ein oder andere, der bereits in diesem schönen Land lebt, und wissen will, was es zu dem macht, was es heute ist, sicher noch einiges lernt. Wir schauen uns den Zeitabschnitt 1998-2025 an, direkt anknüpfend an das Karfreitagsabkommen, den Wandel hin von einem eher strukturschwachen Land mit hohen Arbeitslosen - und Armutsquoten hin zu einer der reichsten Nationen der Erde - und das Bald darauf durch eine globale Wirtschaftskrise diesen Kreislauf nochmal durchlief. Die Einzelnen Themen sehen wie folgt aus :Rahmenbedingungen und exponentielles Wirtschaftswachstum, Gesellschaftlicher Wandel erste Warnungen und Zerfall des Immobilien- und Finanzsektors Internationale Unterstützung, drastischer Sparkurs und langsamer Wiederaufschwung progressives, digitaler werdendes Irland und moderne, diverse Gesellschaft Relevant sind diese Quellen: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irland_seit_1949https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertie_Ahernhttps://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurokrisehttps://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/celtictiger.asphttps://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/what-caused-the-celtic-tiger-phenomenon-1.950806https://www.reddit.com/r/irishpersonalfinance/comments/tzpe28/comparing_the_celtic_tiger_years_and_our_current/https://ireland.representation.ec.europa.eu/news-and-events/news/circumstances-behind-irelands-bailout-late-naughties-2019-04-06_enhttps://www.askaboutireland.ie/learning-zone/primary-students/3rd-+-4th-class/history/history-the-full-story/ireland-in-modern-times/celtic-tiger-years/https://www.tcd.ie/Economics/assets/pdf/MScEPS/Money%20and%20Banking/moneynamking%20week12.pdfhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_property_bubblehttps://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enda_Kennyhttps://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_VaradkarGerne könnt Ihr der Seite zum Podcast auf Pinterest, Instagram oder Facebook folgen : https://www.pinterest.ie/abavarianstrandedinireland/https://www.instagram.com/a_bavarian_stranded_in_ireland/https://www.facebook.com/A-Bavarian-stranded-in-Ireland-107125391828067Um bequem Updates zu neuen Folgen und allen anderen Themen rund um den Podcast bequem direkt auf euer Handy zu erhalten, könnt Ihr ab sofort auch den WhatsApp Channel zum Podcast abonnieren: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaVcgvgFnSzHRcuurV1VOder mir jederzeit eine Email zukommen lassen. abavarianstrandedinireland@gmail.comSchaut auch gerne mal auf der Website vorbei: abavarianstrandedinireland.com
The Bulls failed in their bid to lift the United Rugby Championship trophy after succumbing 32 -7 against Leinster in YESTERDAY's final at Croke Park in Dublin. Fans were left in disbelief after Jake White's team conceded 14 points in as many minutes in a terrible start to the title decider. Earlier in the day however, the Proteas made history when they claimed the World Test Championship mace after beating Australia by five wickets in the final at Lord's. To look at this, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to SABC sports reporter, Simon Burke

Min mense dink die Bulle gaan vandag in Dublin hond haaraf maak in die Verenigde Rugbykampioenskap-eindstryd teen Leinster, onder leiding van die voormalige Springbok-afrigter Jacques Nienaber. Die Bulle se afrigter, Jake White, het vroeër gesê die gasheerspan bestaan uit Ierse toetsspelers, die All Black Jordie Barrett op senter, met die dubbele Wêreldbekerwenner RG Snyman en die Franse toetsspeler Rabah Slimani op die bank. Die huidige Bok-afrigter, Rassie Erasmus, sê spelers moet onthou hulle kan Bok-erkenning kry as hulle vandag goed speel. Afskop is vanaand om ses-uur. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met die Bulle se hoof, Willem Strauss, gepraat:
It's the big one! Saturday sees the finale of the domestic season as Bath and Leicester go head-to-head at Twickenham for the Premiership title. Will Bath lift the trophy for the first time since 1996? Or will Leicester win a record-extending 12 title and send Michael Cheika and their club legends off into the sunset? Is Cheika using the emotion of Saturday to motivate his players? We hear from the Aussie and from Bath legend Tom Dunn, who explains how the club has risen again to the top of the English game under Johann van Graan. Plus, we look ahead to the URC final with Tadhg Furlong and Hugo Keenan both missing the final the Leinster.

Guests: Christian (Welsh Sports Channel), Iestyn Thomas (journalist) The boys are back to pick through a busy weekend of Welsh rugby. This week:
Connacht Rugby and the IRFU have announced the appointment of Stuart Lancaster as the club's new Head Coach. Lancaster has signed a two-year contract and arrives at the province with a wealth of coaching experience at the highest level of the sport, across all three major European leagues and at international level. He most recently served as Head Coach of Racing 92 in France, and before then enjoyed a hugely successful seven-year spell as Senior Coach of Leinster Rugby. With primary responsibility for the day-to-day coaching of the team, he helped lead Leinster to four consecutive PRO14 titles and four Champions Cup finals, including victory in the 2018 decider. As the news broke, Galway Bay FM's William Davies joined John Morley and Darren Kelly on Galway Talks. == He made the move to Leinster after four years as Head Coach of the England national team, with whom he led for four Six Nations campaigns and the 2015 Rugby World Cup in his native country. He was appointed to that role after four years as the RFU's Head of Elite Player Development, where his primary remit was to help young players realise their potential at club and international level. Lancaster began his coaching career over 20 years ago, as Head of Academy at Leeds RFU. He was then appointed Head Coach of the Leeds Tykes in 2006, leading them to promotion to the English Premiership in his first year in charge. After a further year as Head Coach, he was promoted to the RFU. As Head Coach, Lancaster will also have responsibility for defence, thereby completing next season's coaching team. Joining him will be new attack coach Rod Seib, scrum & contact coach Cullie Tucker, and lineout & maul coach John Muldoon. Lancaster will take up the role in time for the beginning of pre-season training in July, and will be formally presented to the media and wider Connacht supporters next month.
