The Ulster rugby squad flew to Durban, SA to play the Sharks, got wiped out by a mix of E Coli and Norovirus, had to call the game off, and flew home. So why are we talking about pickleball?

 

A mix of Munster’s scramble defence and Leinster’s wastefulness meant Saturday’s game in The Aviva was a lot closer than many predicted, leading to a lot of praise for Munster. In spite of a doughty display, Shane Horgan and Andrew Trimble still think Munster are in a lot of trouble this season.

We also discuss the Jean Kleyn yellow card incident, Jack Crowley’s form and how good Henshaw and Ringrose have been playing this season. Plus there’s Sky’s departure from the GAA universe and Unai Emery’s return to the Premier League.
