Episode 2820: Munster Turn 5 Into 1, Leinster’s Second Captain, RG’s Rocky Road To Dublin, Ulster’s Tap Dance, Hurling Goes Wild
Munster appeared to be in a winning position away to Exeter, before some bad kicks, bad bounces, poor refereeing decisions and an intercept turned 5 game points into 1, putting a big hole in their European campaign in the process. On the back of the draw with Bayonne and the news that RG Snyman will likely be moving to Leinster next year, it’s been a rough week for the URC champs.

We chat to Ruaidhri O’Connor and Shane Horgan about Munster’s slick attack and weak basics, the rights and wrongs of RG’s move, Leinster’s good cap bad cop routine, Ulster’s tap dance and Connacht’s miserable defence.
