THE SUPPORT OF the ever-growing community of The42 members means our team of writers can continue to produce the sports journalism you want each day.
And that backing is more important than ever as we gear up for a — touch wood — busy end to a weird year.
So, what have we lined up this week for members?
Today, Murray Kinsella dialled up top analyst Eoin Toolan to break down Leinster’s impressive PRO14 win over Ulster in this week’s episode of Rugby Weekly Extra.
Tomorrow, renowned longform sports writer Wright Thompson is Gavin Cooney’s guest on Behind The Lines, the sportswriting podcast.
On the agenda? Thompson’s much-discussed piece on Conor McGregor, his brilliant features on Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods and his love of Grogan’s in Dublin.
On the anniversary of the Cork footballers completing a historic senior All-Ireland double in 1990, we’ll remember the victory over archrivals Meath in a special episode of Warriors, with GAA editor Fintan O’Toole.
