Leinster tore into the Ospreys with a ruthless 68–14 win at the Aviva, powered by Joe McCarthy's hat‑trick, a suffocating defensive press, and big returns for Jordan Larmour and James Lowe. Jeff is joined by Ciarán Duffy (Post to Post Sport) for cap number 47 to break down the performance, the selection calls, the defensive resurgence, and what it all means heading into the Champions Cup Final.We also take a spin around the URC — Munster clinching playoffs, Connacht's late push, Ulster's Challenge Cup wrinkle — plus Ireland Women's record-setting Aviva win.A full URC season rewind, a look ahead to Bordeaux, and plenty of Harpin flavour.Our guest…CIARÁN DUFFYPost to Post blogWhere to find Harpin' On Rugbyhttps://linktr.ee/harpinonrugbyCOMMENT, LIKE, SHARE & SUBSCRIBE
