Second Captains 31/07 - Football QF's, Croker factor, Godfather of Irish MMA, McGregor

The action in the gaelic football and hurling championships is now focused solely on Croke Park, and with four games this weekend, Oisin McConville and Anthony Moyles tell us about how the stadium itself elevates this to another level of competition altogether. Conor McGregor's win in the UFC in the o2 was one of the most talked-about sporting events of the year so far. We talk to his coach and the Godfather of MMA in Ireland, John Kavanagh, about how the hype helps McGregor, and what McGregor has to do for his achievements to catch up to his acclaim. And we talk about the bloodiest challenge matches ever played, fulfilling the siege mentality quota for one summer, and a tradition as old as the GAA itself - pinning up hostile articles on a dressing-room wall.
