Neil Treacy is joined on this week's RTÉ Rugby podcast by Bernard Jackman and journalist Brendan Fanning to look back on a huge week in the BKT United Rugby Championship.
Brendan gives us the details of his new book; Touching Distance - Irish Rugby's Battle with Great Expectations, which looks back on the the key events and people of Irish Rugby since 2007.
We then dig into Saturday's big win for Munster against Leinster, looking at some of the key questions facing Leinster head coach Leo Cullen, and examine how Munster finally got it right against their biggest rivals.
We glance ahead to Munster's meeting with Connacht on Saturday, and we also discuss Ulster's brilliant start to the season, which continued with a bonus-point win away to the Sharks on Saturday.
