This week we talk to Sky Sports' rugby league and GAA presenter Brian Carney about Gaelic football and rugby league. We compare and contrast the cultures of the two sports, ask what they can learn from each other, explore the importance of history and heritage to sport, and, because he's a dual rugby international, we discuss relations between the codes. And, of course, we chew the fat about future directions for rugby league.
You can find Brian’s GAA club, Valleymount, here and there are photographs of the club’s stunning location here. The episode of Rugby Reloaded on the origins of Gaelic football that Brian mentions is episode 30, How Football Began: The Birth of Gaelic Football.
