Neil Treacy is joined by a number of guests this week, to break down another busy week of rugby.
First up, Neil and Bernard look back on a brilliant occasion in Castlebar last Saturday, as Connacht rolled out all the stops for their BKT United Rugby Championship meeting with Munster.
We discuss Munster's controlled performance as they won 30-24 (6:00), and preview their Investec Champions Cup round of 16 meeting with La Rochelle on Saturday.
The podcast also looks at Connacht’s Challenge Cup hopes (17:18), and why their defence is continuing to hold them back.
We ask what impact Leinster’s shock win away to the Sharks in Durban will have on their season (24:20), as they turn attention to the Champions Cup, hosting Harlequins this Saturday.
And we look at another rollercoaster ride for Ulster in their win against the Stormers (30:26), as well as discussing the continued good form of Jacob Stockdale.
Later, Neil is joined by Munster and Ireland out-half Jack Crowley (37:07), who gives the latest on his contract situation, as well as talking through his Six Nations campaign and this weekend’s game in La Rochelle.
And finally, we look back at a brilliant week for Ireland in the Guinness Women’s Six Nations with Hannah O’Connor (51:40), after their emphatic 54-12 win away to Italy on Sunday.
