Episode 2348: Leinster’s All or Nothing, Allez Le ROG, Rat Montage, Backlash To Paris Policing Shambles

We chat to Shane Horgan and Andrew Trimble about Leinster’s all or nothing performances, why their attack didn’t fire, the repercussions for Leinster and Ireland and the amazing job O’Gara has done with what is a brilliantly run club in La Rochelle.
