Episode 2200: Ulster Trump Leinster, Munster Stranded, The John McGrath Miracle, Effin’ Eddie
It was a massive weekend for Ulster in the URC as they got a rare win over Leinster, while things couldn’t have gone worse for Munster who find themselves stranded in South Africa after a player tested positive for Covid, meaning they couldn’t return to Ireland on a charter flight organised for the rest of the European teams visiting the country.

One of the sporting stories of the year came out of Tipperary this weekend after Loughmore-Castleiney sealed a county double in football and hurling, with both finals decided by points scored by Tipp hurler, John McGrath. Throw in that they lost both county finals last year by a point and you’ve got one hell of a tale…

Plus there’s a massive week ahead on the World Service, Connacht’s torrential try-fest, and Effin’ Eddie Moroney.
