After the pool stages of the European Rugby Champions Cup, it’s fair to assume that, despite Ulster’s defeat, we have Irish provinces back at the business end of the competition, and are once again capable of winning the whole thing.

Shane Horgan and Gerry Thornley of the Irish Times discuss Leinster’s almost-routine defeat of Top 14 leaders Montpellier away, Munster’s dominant win over Castres, and how they need not fear any of the remaining teams in the competition.

Plus there’s a scumbag of the week, we shamelessly flout the Mick McCarthy Rule, Ken talks rugby, and Richard Keyes’ audition for the Second Captains World Service.
