RTÉ Rugby podcast: Champions Cup at Croker, and Ireland deliver in the W6N

admin admin | 05-02 00:15

Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Mick Kearney to recap another busy week in the BKT United Rugby Championship, and look ahead to Saturday's Investec Champions Cup semi-final between Leinster and Northampton Saints.

The panel examine Leinster's recent defeats in the URC down in South Africa, and whether they've taken too big a gamble with their squad selection ahead of the visit of Northampton (1:30).

We look at where Northampton could cause Leinster difficulty (10:00), as well as looking at the overall occasion of a sold out rugby game at Croke Park (14:15).

The podcast reviews Munster's perfect two weeks in South Africa (20:00), and ask whether Graham Rowntree's side can kick on and challenge for back to back titles.

We also look at Connacht's win over Dragons (29:18) the retirement of Tiernan O'Halloran, Ulster's important win over Benetton (35:00), as well as Cork Con's AIL final triumph over Terenure (40:15).

Later in the pod, Alison Miller joins Neil to look back on Ireland's 15-12 win over Scotland (42:35), to seal a third place finish in the Guinness Women's Six Nations.
