Ireland's near miss | World Cup Eve | Jersey nostalgia | The life of Paul the Octopus

Will, Ronan and Alanna convene to discuss Ireland's defeat to France - and why there's still cause for optimism ahead of the Women's World Cup playoff draw. Alanna chats to Meabh de Burca, fresh from her return from Grenoble, about where Carla Ward's side camp up short in their bid for automatic qualification. The gang also reflect on World Cup Eve, a ranking of the best jerseys in the competition and Will revisits the life and times of Paul the Octopus.
