Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Johne Murphy to look back on the week's big talking points in the BKT United Rugby Championship in the RTÉ Rugby Podcast.
We discuss another officiating blunder in Munster's 16-13 defeat to the Bulls (10:55), and how Ian Costello's side are now under real pressure heading into the final three games of the regular season.
We look at how Dan Sheehan is going from strength to strength as Leinster continued their march towards the top seed with a win against Ulster (29:00), while discussing Stephen Donald's comments about the quality of the URC, as well as Ulster's big clear-out this summer (37:50).
The panel also looks at Connacht's heart-breaking loss away to the Stormers, and why their big bonus-points haul means they're still very much in the play-off mix (46:30).
Later (55:05), Hannah O'Connor joins Neil to recap Ireland's comfortable Guinness Women's Six Nations win against Wales in Newport, as Scott Bemand's side look to finish their campaign off on a high this Saturday in Edinburgh.
