HERE AT THE42, we know our sport.

Unlike Ed Woodward, we also know a bargain when we see one. 

We’re having a major flash sale – and offering a whopping 50% off the our annual membership package.

It’s usually €42, but you can get a full year’s membership for just €21.

Simply enter the promo code FLASH50 when you’re signing up on The42 Members site. 

This limited offer represents serious value for money but will end today — Monday, 29 November. So let us explain why you’d be as mad as Nick Kyrgios on court not to avail of it.  

By becoming a member, you join a community – immersing yourself in insightful and entertaining sports analysis that shapes your views, creates debate and lets you see the sports stories that matter differently.

We’ve built up a team of brilliant writers, who work around the clock to provide exclusive content and interactions in the shape of podcasts, newsletters, live shows (both remote and in-person) and member-only WhatsApp groups. 

So what benefits do members of The42 enjoy? Let’s take a sneak peek at your front row seat in the press box… 

Insightful analysis

The42 members enjoy exclusive access to the best analysis in Ireland via newsletters, podcasts, live events and more. You’ll receive weekly newsletters from the world of rugby, football, GAA and boxing, written by The42‘s journalists and delivered straight to your inbox.  

Take this extract from Murray Kinsella’s recent Rugby Insiders newsletter, which gets to the heart of exactly how Ireland triumphed over the All Blacks:

Note below how Jamison Gibson-Park looks down the shortside, selling the possibility of a dart to the right to the All Blacks and holding defenders on that side before he passes to his left. 

It’s simple, smart stuff from Ireland on the left as Gibson-Park scoots off the maul to attract the focus of All Blacks centre Anton Lienert-Brown [white below] and then skips Bundee Aki, whose carrying threat attracts Rieko Ioane [red], leaving Garry Ringrose with a one-on-one against Beauden Barrett.

Remarkable stories 

We’re passionate about sport and that really shines through in the quality content we provide for our members. 

By signing up, you will hear unforgettable stories from athletes, coaches, journalists and fans who have dedicated their lives to sport in one way or another. 

In our Behind The Lines podcast series, presenter Gavin Cooney is joined by a host of excellent guests to chat openly about their careers and pick out some of their favourite sportswriting. 

Former chief sportswriter with The Sunday Tribune and Ross O’Carroll-Kelly creator, Paul Howard, tells a particularly funny tale about tracking down Portuguese referee Raul Nazare two decades on from him costing Ireland, then managed by Eoin Hand, a place at the 1982 World Cup finals with two terrible calls. 

Endless debate 

Becoming a member of The42 means that – instead of passively watching on from the sidelines – you’ll be an active participant in the conversation.

Our members-only live shows regularly give subscribers a voice to ask The42 journalists and high-profile guests those burning questions they may have. 

Rugby Weekly’s Murray Kinsella, Gavan Casey and the brilliant Bernard Jackman have been letting fans of the oval ball have their say with Q&A sessions over Zoom throughout the pandemic. 

Earlier this year, we also hosted a very special virtual event with the one and only James Richardson, presenter of The Totally Football Show and the iconic Football Italia on Channel Four.

The legendary James Richardson.

Additionally, The42‘s rugby, football and Behind The Lines WhatsApp groups give members direct access to our writers.

Is there something you’d love to ask? Simply drop them a message on the group.

Being a member of The42 is great value. Brilliant analysis and updates and the WhatsApp group is full of different viewpoints and plenty of craic!” says satisfied member John Boyle. 

All in all, truly great value for money

What more can we say? The 50% off sale is running for this weekend only, so sign up now and use the promo code FLASH50 on The42 Members site. 

We guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
