What listeners will find here
Dan Sheehan on Leinster’s return, Leo Cullen’s final season and leading from the front
Leinster’s return to the RDS, Leo Cullen’s final season and Dan Sheehan’s own start to the campaign drive this conversation. He also reflects on leadership, back-row possibilities and what life looks like for him away from rugby.
Munster’s reset, Frawley’s Connacht spark, and why Ireland’s scrum is a real concern
Munster’s need for a reboot leads this episode, alongside Leinster’s two-match trip to South Africa, Ciaran Frawley’s first outing for Connacht, and broader scrum worries in Irish rugby. It mixes off-field instability with on-pitch bright spots and bigger structural questions.
All four provinces stumble as the URC starts with questions for Irish rugby
The opening weekend of the URC brought defeats for all four Irish provinces and sparked a wider debate about player management. Will, Luke and Ruaidhri O'Connor dig into the IRFU system, the Stormers' power in Galway, Leinster's young talent and Munster's difficult loss to Glasgow.
Leinster and Ulster face pressure points before the new season
Leinster and Ulster are the focus as Will, Luke and Jonathan Bradley dig into succession risk, coaching uncertainty and season targets. The episode looks at Leo Cullen and Jacques Nienaber's awkward status, Leinster's age profile and whether Ulster are ready to deliver in Europe.
Springboks-All Blacks opener sparks questions about Rennie, Rassie and summer tours
The first Test between South Africa and New Zealand drives this discussion, from the Springboks' missed chances to signs of All Blacks progress under Dave Rennie. It also widens out into what Rassie's next call could mean and whether summer tours still make sense.
