RTÉ Rugby podcast: Disappointment, decision-making and the Antoine Dupont Show

admin admin | 05-30 00:16

We look back on where it went wrong for Leinster in Saturday's Investec Champions Cup final against Toulouse, and discuss where French scrum-half Antoine Dupont ranks among the greats (21:35) after his incredible performance in the decider.

The panel also discuss Hugo Keenan's switch to the Ireland Sevens team (27:01) ahead of the Olympics, as well as the retirement of Rhys Ruddock (30:10).

Turning our attention to the BKT United Rugby Championship, we discuss Connacht's slim hopes of making it into the play-offs, (35:50) and whether Mack Hansen should be included on Ireland's summer tour of South Africa.

We hear about Munster's incoming South African winger, Thaakir Abrahams (40:30), and look ahead to their meeting with Ulster on Saturday (44:20).

And we also speak about a positive week for Ulster, who announced incomings on both their senior squad and coaching ticket (49:30).
