It’s Winterpro season on the RTÉ Rugby podcast, as Neil Treacy and Bernard Jackman break down the key points from this week’s URC Irish derbies.
We look back at Leinster’s win against Munster at Thomond Park, which was full of blood and thunder, but light on quality.
Munster’s Tadhg Beirne is the latest player to voice his frustration with the way rugby is currently being played, but Bernard is growing frustrated at how it only seems to be people in Irish rugby who are struggling to adapt to the current trends.
We look at the big news from Connacht, who confirmed the signing of Ciarán Frawley for next season, and we ask whether more players will follow the versatile Leinster back in making a cross-province transfer this season.
And we also give Ulster their credit, as Richie Murphy’s side continue their impressive start to the season.
