Neil Treacy is joined on the RTÉ Rugby podcast by Bernard Jackman and Johne Murphy to look back on the opening weekend of games in the Investec Champions Cup.
We recap Leinster's dogged 16-9 win away to La Rochelle in France, which is a first win in four attempts for Leinster against Ronan O'Gara's side.
The panel discuss what went wrong for Munster in their frustrating 17-17 draw against Bayonne, as well as looking over a pair of disappointing defeats for both Connacht and Ulster.
And Bernard also asks why all four Irish provinces seem to be having the same issues around their scrum and lineout.
