Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Brett Igoe on this week's RTÉ Rugby podcast to recap the big rugby news of the week.
We look back at a pair of wins for Leinster and Munster in the Investec Champions Cup, both of which had a common thread of Irish sides struggling to convert from inside the 22.
We discuss how Leinster can better utilise the skills of their All Black signing Rieko Ioane, and whether the glass is half full or half empty for Leo Cullen's side after their dogged win at Welford Road.
The panel looks at Ulster's chances in this Friday night's big Interpro at Aviva Stadium, and ask whether Ulster out-half Jack Murphy could make a play for an Ireland call-up.
Off the back of Conor Bartley's impressive cameo for Munster at the weekend, we wonder whether the provinces are starting to put more stock in using the All Ireland League as a development tool.
And we look ahead to an important run of games for Connacht under new head coach Stuart Lancaster.
