RTÉ Rugby podcast: Is cash key to Leinster's success? Plus URC previews

Neil Treacy, Bernard Jackman and Eddie O'Sullivan recap the big stories in the week of rugby.

The panel look back over Leinster's Heineken Champions Cup quarter-final win against Leicester Tigers, while also examining the recent debate that their success is built on their financial position, and access to centrally contracted players.

We also cast our eye over this week's URC fixtures, with Leinster and Munster in South Africa, Ulster hosting the Dragons and Connacht facing Cardiff, while the Ireland women's team are in Italy for round 3 of the TikTok Six Nations.
