    is also some other reference for the Irish guy involved wasnt there?

    I'd just assumed it was some reference to playing numbers 10 and 14...maybe their high-school positions?
    Although if I recall correctly, the irish guy looked like more of a 4/5, and the kiwi a 9.

    @kruse I may be wrong (as rare as that may be) but I seem to recall hearing them talk or reading somewhere there was some Irish link (possibly tenuous and not rugby) for him as well as the McCaw one.

    Maybe he's from the Clontarf suburb of Dublin... where the Battle of Clontarf was fought in 1014?

    @kruse Correct.

    The show's title links both the former All Blacks Captain and former Ireland captain, Gareth explained.

    "It's Richie McCaw's All Black number. And Brian O'Driscoll is from Clontarf in Dublin. And a major part of Irish history is the Battle of Clontarf in 1014."

    Is a four fifth somewhere between three quarter and a fullback?

    so the end result is still a dumb name for a rugby analysis show.

    I thought they gave verbal explanation of the 10 and 14 in their first show on the proper telly.

    It had nothing to do with McCaw's cap number.

    Something to do with the ages, looking at it from the enthusiasm of kids (maybe that was their kids ages? Well, I don't now if they even have kids ...) rather than the jaded, negative, trolling etc from the established journalism and forums out there.

    But, flaw in that name is that it is very highbrow for kids. Kids'd more like The Breakdown where Kirsty reads tweets while standing in front of a big screen which is displaying ..... the tweets .... wouldn't they? Cos, 'that's entertainment!'.

    yes good article on a mainstream news channel about how they're better than mainstream sports journalism 🙂
    I wonder what software app he is using on his tablet..
