On this week's episode of The Left Wing, Will Slattery and Luke Fitzgerald are joined by Jonathan Bradley of The Belfast Telegraph to discuss the Champions Cup round of 16. Leinster and Munster march on to the quarter-finals after wins over Connacht and Exeter, with the southern province producing a classic Thomond Park performance to sweep Exeter aside. There was also drama in Belfast, as Ulster were pipped at the death by Toulouse. Jonathan starts off by telling the lads about the mood in Ulster as the province look to bounce back from the devastating defeat. Ulster's progress, Connacht's consistency issues, Leinster's tricky balancing act ahead of the quarter-final and Joey Carbery's resurgence are all up for discussion too.

Ulster Rugby welcomed four players back from the Ireland panel last weekend and all did everything they could to forge their way into Andy Farrell's thinking. Robert Baloucoune's try brace, fellow scorers Nick Timoney and James Hume as well as captain Iain Henderson all played key roles in the easy win over Cardiff. Now the question is whether they'll be facing England or Leinster on a super Saturday? Debating that point as well as looking at the Schools' Cup semi-finals, women's rugby and the Ravenhill atmosphere are Jonathan Bradley and John Dickson, as they join host Gareth Hanna.

The secret about the podcast's favourite son is now officially out as Mike Lowry played a starring role on his Six Nations debut for Ireland. That gives rugby reporters Jonathan Bradley and Richard Mulligan plenty to discuss with host Gareth Hanna, not to mention the scrum law that left Italy playing most of the game with 13 men and turned the tie into a glorified training exercise. There's also, of course, Ulster Rugby's upcoming game against Cardiff, a new signing and another win for Ireland U20s on the agenda.

Ulster Rugby emerged from a windswept Rodney Parade with a 12-0 win over Dragons in Sunday's United Rugby Championship tie and immediately attention turned to Ireland's Six Nations game against Italy this weekend. Just how many from the northern province will get the nod at the Aviva Stadium? It's all up for debate and joining Gareth Hanna to discuss the big talking point are Jonathan Bradley and Adam McKendry. Also on the agenda are man of the match awards and bonus points.

Ireland's Six Nations Grand Slam hopes disappeared in the closing seconds in the Stade de France on Saturday evening. The contentious decision not to go to the corner with a 72nd minute penalty proved the chief talking point in the immediate aftermath, while a pass from Roman Ntamack took over that mantle when another video angle of France's opening try appeared on social media on Monday. Joining Gareth Hanna to discuss those, World Cup hopes and Ulster's game against the Dragons are Jonathan Bradley and Richard Mulligan.

The Six Nations is upon us and so a weekend full of rugby awaits. There are senior and Under 20 games to preview, as well as Ulster Rugby's visit of Connacht to the Kingspan Stadium. The naming rights of that ground are also on the agenda of this week's podcast, as is Craig Gilroy's controversial yellow card in last weekend's win over Scarlets. Joining host Gareth Hanna to do all that are the Belfast Telegraph's rugby correspondent Jonathan Bradley and reporter Adam McKendry.

It's the second episode of 2022 as Ulster's season ticks into a crucial period with back-to-back European fixtures. There is a huge tactical debate to have surrounding last weekend's defeat in Munster, which sparks discussion around the differing psychology of sports fans and sports reporters. The Belfast Telegraph's rugby correspondent Jonathan Bradley and Ulster Rugby photographer John Dickson also look ahead to Sunday's trip to Northampton as they join host Gareth Hanna.

The first Ulster Rugby Round Up podcast of 2022 has arrived, with news of John Cooney - and plenty of others - signing new contracts comforting us through the festive Covid call-offs. Joining Gareth Hanna to discuss those deals as well as look ahead to this weekend's slated game against Munster are rugby reporters Jonathan Bradley and Richard Mulligan. Also on the agenda are Sean Reffell's signing and Gareth Milasinovich's short-term switch to Saracens.

One Champions Cup match down and from an originally daunting draw, all looks rosy in Ulster Rugby's European campaign. The win in Clermont is another landmark moment in the season for Dan McFarland's side, giving plenty for reporters Jonathan Bradley and Richard Mulligan to discuss with host Gareth Hanna. On the agenda are the performances of James Hume and John Cooney, Nick Timoney's controversial try, this week's visit of Northampton Saints and much more.

The autumn internationals are at an end and Ulster Rugby are gearing up for their long-awaited return against Leinster on Saturday evening. Belfast Telegraph rugby correspondent Jonathan Bradley and reporter Adam McKendry join Gareth Hanna to discuss not only that United Rugby Championship clash but also the lay of the land for Ireland's Ulster contingent. Just where do they stand in the pecking order ahead of the Six Nations?

Welcome to the UK Consult, our occasional ramble through all things about public consultation and citizen engagement in the UK, with special guests and lovely examples of online public consultation from around the world! In this episode, strangely, Jonno finds himself all alone in the virtual UK Consult studio. With an absence of guests, this time around he revisits the subject of blended engagement. Main Topics and Key Questions - What does blended engagement look like in a peri-covid world? - What blend of methods should be used? - How do we encourage continuous conversations? - Making online public meetings more engaging - The benefit of asynchronous engagement - Doing digital stakeholder mapping - Making public consultation more inclusive - Creating safe places for public discourse

Ireland seem to be making something of a habit of beating the All Blacks these days. With 12 Leinstermen in the starting team during the weekend's landmark win at the Aviva Stadium, Jonathan Bradley is joined by Michael Sadlier and John Dickson to wonder whether the national team are as well just fielding their top provincial side. There's also a look at just how good the performance was, what it means for Ireland's World Cup plans and how many Ulster players could get game-time when Argentina come to Dublin on Sunday. And with Ulster due to return to action in 10 days' time, we ease back into provincial matters with a discussion of their top players in the A side's defeat to the old enemy Leinster.

Ulster's perfect start to the season is over in remarkable fashion. The 36-11 collapse against Connacht at the Aviva Stadium has led to something of a investigation demanded by the bagful of listener questions sent in this week. Joining Gareth Hanna to pick through them are the Belfast Telegraph's rugby correspondent Jonathan Bradley and Adam McKendry. Among the talking points are Dan McFarland's interesting quotes about his own frustrations and search for an 'intangible' quality, what went so badly wrong in Dublin and is it time for Michael Lowry to get a run in the number 10 jersey? Moving away from the game itself, there's also some chat around ticket prices.

The Ulster Rugby Round Up is back by popular demand after an unexpected week's break. Joining Gareth Hanna to discuss another, according to some, dissatisfying bonus point victory are Jonathan Bradley and Michael Sadlier. As well as the win over the Lions, there's also Rory Best's latest foray into the coaching world, Will Addison's new injury and the upcoming game against Connacht on the agenda.

On this week's episode of The Left Wing, Will Slattery and Luke Fitzgerald are joined by Jonathan Bradley of The Belfast Telegraph to discuss all the latest rugby news. The lads kick off by asking Jonathan about the state of Ulster rugby as the province moves into their fourth year under head coach Dan McFarland. The signing of Duane Vermeulen, John Cooney's uncertain future and the emergence of Nathan Doak are all up for discussion. The chat then moves onto Munster and the rotten injury luck suffered by the team and their Springbok signing RG Snyman, who has suffered an ACL injury for the second straight season. However, there are some positives with the performance of the province's young guns. The lads finish up by taking a look at the out-half landscape in Ireland and debating whether a Club World Cup is worth pursuing at the expense of the Champions Cup.

Two matches down and Ulster's 100 per cent record continues thanks to a bonus point win at Zebre. Joining Gareth Hanna to discuss just how 'disjointed' the performance really was are rugby reporters Jonathan Bradley and Richard Mulligan. Also on the agenda are the individual displays of the likes of James Hume, Nathan Doak and Will Addison, the upcoming match against Benetton and why Duane Vermeulen has been named in the Barbarians squad.

Ulster's United Rugby Championship has kicked off with a victory; the 35-29 bonus point home win over Glasgow. Joining Gareth Hanna to discuss that - including Nathan Doak's shining performance, James Hume's yellow card and many other talking points - the Development Team, Ireland Women's World Cup heartache and this weekend's trip to Zebre are the Belfast Telegraph rugby correspondent Jonathan Bradley and Ulster Rugby photographer John Dickson.

The new season is finally upon us as Glasgow arrive at the Kingspan Stadium. But the pre-amble to the United Rugby Championship's opening game has been far overshadowed by the arrival of Springbok star Duane Vermeulen to Ulster Rugby. And so, it's understandable that the lion's share of this week's discussion goes to the surprise signing.  Joining host Gareth Hanna to assess his impact as well as look ahead to the opening match and explain the new term of 'expected points' are the Belfast Telegraph's rugby correspondent Jonathan Bradley and freelance reporter Adam McKendry.

It's episode three of this season's Ulster Rugby Round Up and it's time for the season preview proper. Of course, it is set against a markedly more optimistic backdrop after Ulster's 33-3 win over Saracens in London and, as well as looking back at that game, we consider what Ulster can expect to achieve in the United Rugby Championship's inaugural campaign and on their Champions Cup return. There's a women's rugby controversy to discuss as well as the proposals for the World 12s. Joining Gareth Hanna to do all that are the Belfast Telegraph's rugby correspondent Jonathan Bradley and Ulster Rugby photographer as well as Esportif's Head of Global Brand and Communications John Dickson.

It's already episode two of the Ulster Rugby Round Up for the 21/22 season. After the friendly defeat to Saracens at Kingspan Stadium, we've got lots of your listener questions to ponder, with John Cooney's contract central to discussions as well as next crop of young players ready to make a significant step up. Joining Gareth Hanna to discuss that and lots more are rugby reporters Jonathan Bradley and Richard Mulligan.

Ulster's Rugby 22/22 season is upon us with the first pre-season friendly taking place tomorrow against Saracens at Kingspan Stadium. To mark the occasion, Jonathan Bradley and Michael Sadlier join Gareth Hanna for the first podcast of the new campaign. They discuss the squad's injury situation, why there was just one player signed during the close-season and what we can expect to see in the friendly double header against Saracens.

Ulster's Rugby's season is finally at an end. It's been a long time coming but we're finally ready to put a full-stop to a long campaign on our season review podcast. There's one final match - a late win over Edinburgh - to assess, including the requisite Rainbow Cup controversy - as well as the province's end of season awards. Once again, Jonathan Bradley's vote did not prove influential in the writers' accolade and this week he joins Richard Mulligan and host Gareth Hanna to try and find out why. There are a few key personnel to say a farewell to and positives to pick out of the gruelling campaign now gone. Oh, and yes, the the podcast was recorded before news broke of the collapse of Leona Nakarawa's transfer.

Ulster's Rugby's season is stumbling its way to a conclusion, with Saturday's game against Edinburgh still scheduled to take place despite coronavirus-related issues in both camps. Joining this week's host Jonathan Bradley to discuss the postponement of last weekend's visit of Scarlets and debate the merits of actually playing the final scheduled fixture of Ulster's drawn-out campaign are rugby reporters Michael Sadlier and Adam McKendry. There's also the confirmation of Louis Ludik's retirement to mull over, recalling fond memories of the full-back star's stint in white, and there are financial issues to assess off the back of the coronavirus pandemic.

It's three down, two to go for Ulster in the enduring slog that the Rainbow Cup has become but there are plenty of interesting topics remaining on the agenda. Top of the bill, of course, was that contentious decision not to sanction Robbie Henshaw for his tackle on Robert Baloucoune. We also look at the wider performance in that defeat to Leinster, how James Hume has come a potential front-runner for Ulster's Player of the Year award and tackle lots of your listener questions. To do all that and more, rugby reporters Jonathan Bradley and Adam McKendry join host Gareth Hanna.

Ulster's season is all but over after their Challenge Cup exit at the hands of Leicester Tigers left only the much-maligned Rainbow Cup to play for. There had been high hopes that, with Leinster for once not standing in their way, the route to silverware was clearing for the province but now there's another European wreckage to pick through for Jonathan Bradley and Richard Mulligan with Adam McKendry in the host's chair. There's the defeat itself to discuss as well as the wider implications for Ulster's ongoing progress (or lack thereof) and even a British and Irish Lions announcement to mull over.

It's build-up week to Ulster's European Challenge Cup semi-final against Leicester Tigers. Hopes are building that the province have what it take to reach a first continental final since 2012 and joining host Adam McKendry to look ahead to the game are rugby reporting duo Jonathan Bradley and Michael Sadlier. There's also an opening Rainbow Cup defeat to Connacht to look back at, interesting most for the controversial debut of the new law trials as the visitors used their captain's challenge to set up the winning try and Ulster's decision riled Connacht coach Andy Friend.

The Rainbow Cup, or what remains of it, is now upon us. Ulster Rugby may not get the chance to take on South African opposition to end the season but, nonetheless the show goes on. Joining Gareth Hanna to look ahead to the tournament are Jonathan Bradley and Richard Mulligan. More than that, there's a shedload of listener questions to work through from injury updates to contract news and even the prospect of rugby going down a European Super League route.

Ulster's first ever Challenge Cup match is upon us with the trip to Harlequins on Sunday evening. Usually chief panellist, Jonathan Bradley is back in the host's chair for the second week running and is this week joined by rugby reporters Adam McKendry and Richard Mulligan. They look ahead to the big match, including the selection dilemmas facing Dan McFarland. Also on the agenda is the Rainbow Cup, what it means to Ulster and latest talk on the future of Louis Ludik.

With a free weekend up ahead, it's a first for the Ulster Rugby podcast. Usually chief panelist, Jonathan Bradley has shuffled over into the host's chair to direct the debate centred around the latest flurry of listener questions. He's joined by rugby reporter Michael Sadlier and Ulster photographer John 'Beaker' Dickson to discuss, among other things, Ulster's win over Zebre, the departure of Ulster Academy Manager Kieran Campbell, Leone Nakarawa's indifferent form ahead of his move from Glasgow and what will happen to the Schools' Cup.

There's been breaking news today for both Ulster and Ireland with Adam McBurney and CJ Standers' departures confirmed. While the former is off to pastures new in Edinburgh, the latter is calling time on a fruitful career, bowing out at the top. Joining Adam McKendry to discuss those and plenty other issues are Jonathan Bradley and Michel Sadlier.  Jacob Stockdale's performance for Ulster is on the agenda along with his potential Ireland recall in the team to take on England this weekend. Nick Timoney also gets a more than honourable mention for his display in the win over Dragons and there's more to mull over besides.

Ulster's PRO14 hopes may be over but rallying along at the perfect time to bring fresh hope of silverware is the Challenge Cup. Joining Gareth Hanna to discuss the double away draw - to Harlequins and then either Northampton or Dragons - are Jonathan Bradley and Adam McKendry. Also on the agenda is the end of Ulster's PRO14 hopes via the defeat to Leinster and, more prominently, the positive performance of winger Robert Baloucoune, making his first start of the season and marking it with a try. We also look ahead to the trip to Dragons this weekend and Ireland's game against Scotland, including what role Jacob Stockdale might play.

It was a double winning weekend that felt anything but for Ulster and Ireland, with each victory is uninspiring as the other. While the province's win over Ospreys was overshadowed by their failure to nab a bonus point, meaning control of Conference A slipping from their grasp, Ireland's 48-10 success in Italy will count for little if it isn't follow up against Scotland. Joining Gareth Hanna to discuss those results, and more particularly Ulster's back row, are Jonathan Bradley and Michael Sadlier.

Ireland's Six Nations campaign, of course, got off to a losing start on Sunday and we're here to look at the 21-16 defeat in Wales. Finding himself in the crosshair of much of the post-match debate was Billy Burns, whose last gasp error gave up the final chance to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. It has helped to spark further discussion over the problem of an aging Johnny Sexton and who should be the successor to the throne. Joining host Gareth Hanna to discuss that, Iain Henderson, the game against France are more are rugby reporting duo Jonathan Bradley and Michael Sadlier.

February is finally upon us and with it, the dawning of the 2021 Six Nations Championship. However, there remains plenty to discuss at provincial level with Leone Nakarawa announced as Ulster's newest signing and no less than 23 players already having been confirmed as extending their contracts. That begs the questions about whose futures remain to be confirmed. Joining host Gareth Hanna to discuss that, Nakarawa and this weekend's Six Nations opener that sees Ireland take on Wales, are rugby reporting duo Jonathan Bradley and Adam McKendry.

The Six Nations squad has been announced and with it, the usual, inevitable controversy. Host Gareth Hanna is this week joined by rugby reporting duo Jonathan Bradley and Michael Sadlier to discuss, first up, John Cooney's omission from the panel and what it means for his future on both an international and provincial level. Also not in the squad, of course, was Jacob Stockdale, whose injury is worse than first hopes. As well as that, there are the five players who made the cut to discuss - Rob Herring, Stuart McCloskey, Billy Burns, the uncapped Tom O'Toole and Iain Henderson, returning from injury. Back at Kingspan, there's a whole spate of contract renewals coming out but what of those yet to be announced?

The rugby season is being flung into chaos with the Champions Cup double-header postponed and PRO14 conclusion remaining uncertain. Nonetheless, the Ulster Rugby Round Up is here to provide some familiar tones to sooth you through lockdown. Joining Gareth Hanna this week are rugby reporting duo Jonathan Bradley and Michael Sadlier. On the agenda, of course, is the PRO14 defeat to Leinster and just what the result means for Ulster's chances of upsetting their Conference A rivals to seal top spot and, with it, a coveted place in the final. There's also the current state of play in the rugby campaign to note while there is, of course, some good news amongst it all, with Dan McFarland's new contract that keeps the coach in place until summer of 2023.

On this week's episode of The Left Wing, Will Slattery and Luke Fitzgerald are joined by Jonathan Bradley of the Belfast Telegraph to preview the PRO14 final. Leinster take on Ulster in the Aviva Stadium on Saturday night, which is the northern province's first appearance in a final since 2013. Jonathan gives the lads an insight from the north on how Dan McFarland has turned things around, while Luke looks at some reasons why Ulster can be hopeful of causing a shock. The lads also discuss some selection dilemmas McFarland has ahead of this weekend as well as whether Johnny Sexton will start for Leo Cullen's men. Meanwhile, Munster fell to Leinster for the third year in a row in the league semi-final last Friday - the lads look at what they have to do to take the next step as well as take a look at some of Munster's post-match comments. Owen Farrell's five-match ban for a dangerous tackle, as well as the state of rugby's disciplinary process, is up for discussion too.

How does organisational leadership effect community participation, fan outreach, and the success of local projects and sports clubs? With football season kicking off soon, we explore how Fan Engagement is different than general sales and marketing, and what that means for sports organisations. Learn how positive and bold approaches from leadership within the organisation lead to less commercialised outreach, and puts more emphasis on involving fans in improving the program, as well as its impact on community. We also discuss barriers of change and the unique opportunity we have right now to create a better public consultation experience for our communities. As lockdown has changed the way we communicate with each other, a hot topic recently is the idea and genuine experience of Zoom fatigue. As Councils move their public meetings online, we share reasons why effective public consultation is not a Zoom meeting. Projects to Watch: See how these two Councils are conducting effective and inclusive community engagement with the use of digital tools on EngagementHQ. Tower Hamlets is including residents in discussions around the safest and most effective ways to begin reopening public areas in their community.

It's all over and South Africa are the world champions after a sensational final performance in Yokohama. Ruaidhri O'Connor and Jonathan Bradley were there to witness a forward masterclass from Rassie Erasmus' men. What went wrong for England? What went right for the Springboks? And what will it mean for the Rainbow Nation? The lads assess it all and give their final thoughts on an incredible seven weeks in Japan before saying sayanora!

It's finally here. No, not the third/fourth place play-off, but tomorrow's Rugby World Cup final in Yokohama.In their penultimate podcast from Japan, Ruaidhri O'Connor and Jonathan Bradley assess England and South Africa's strengths and weaknesses, assess whether Eddie Jones' men can get back to the level they reached against New Zealand and wonder why Maro Itoje isn't on the shortlist for World Rugby player of the year.Jonathan picks his team of the tournament and the lads wonder whether this World Cup has been any good.

It's the final week of the World Cup and, after two contrasting semi-finals set up an England v South Africa World Cup final, Ruaidhri O'Connor and Jonathan Bradley look back at the weekend just gone and begin to talk about Saturday's show-piece. The lads assess England's greatness, while they wonder if the 'Boks have a trick or two up their sleeves after boring their way to the final against Wales.They assess Wales' weird World Cup, with Warren Gatland's men left in a weird position where they achieved their goal but could have gone further. And as the end comes into view, there's some frantic sight-seeing to be done as Ruaidhri recounts his run-in with a Japanese lad in a Munster jersey.

The show goes on in Tokyo and the World Cup semi-finals are upon us. It's been a week of heavyweight press conferences in Japan and Jonathan Bradley and Ruaidhri O'Connor have been listening to the noises from all four camps ahead of the big games at the weekend. England face the rampant All Blacks in Yokohama on Saturday, with Wales taking on South Africa a day later. Jonathan's been staking out the final venue, but says there's not much to be doing in Japan's second biggest city. At least the rugby should be good. Inevitably, the lads veer into a chat about the fallout from Ireland's exit and discuss some very pointed comments from Brian O'Driscoll and Isa Nacewa, before they get back on point. Can England stop the three-peat or is this just New Zealand's world and the rest of us just live in it. Wales have somehow reached the semis, but it looks like the end of the line against the all-powerful 'Boks.

Ireland's World Cup is on the line in Tokyo tomorrow and Johnny Sexton led a one-man Captain's Run at the venue where they'll meet the All Blacks. We hear from the Ireland out-half on how he feels the game will go, as Jonathan Bradley is joined by pod regular Ruaidhri O'Connor and Tom Cary of The Telegraph who has been covering Ireland throughout the tournament. Ireland's tournament isn't the only thing on the line, Joe Schmidt's legacy is also in the mix as he prepares for what could be his final match.Sexton is confident they can get the job done, but so are the All Blacks who are more focused on their mullets than James Ryan.

The teams has been named and Saturday's World Cup quarter-final between Ireland and the All Blacks is getting closer. Ruaidhri O'Connor, Jonathan Bradley and Cian Tracey are in Disneyland where Joe Schmidt has named his strongest side for the winner-takes-all showdown with the world champions. They assess the two line-ups and consider whether Ireland's experience can beat the All Blacks' expansiveness, if Steve Hansen is taking risks with his team selection and whether Ireland are the team the All Blacks least wanted to face. They also take a quick look at the selection surprises from England and Australia as a mouthwatering weekend draws ever closer.

With Ireland and New Zealand taking a day off in Tokyo before team announcements tomorrow, Jonathan Bradley, Cian Tracey and Ruaidhri O'Connor take a look at the three other last eight clashes. Can the hosts keep their run of success going against the Springboks in what will be a fascinating clash of styles and a re-match of their famous 2015 match in Brighton. Can Japan's quick hands beat Jacques Nienaber's rush defence? Will South Africa prove too strong or will the Brave Blossoms continue to surprise? Down in Oita, England v Australia is a dream for reporters who are getting front-row seats in the battle for hearts and minds between Michael Cheika and Eddie Jones. On the pitch, Australia have more questions about their selection, but England haven't been tested. Form would suggest they'll be too strong, but the Wallabies are capable of a shock. And on Sunday, Wales take on a France team who have had their traditional behind the scenes arguments and come into this game without really having fired a shot. Wales are well organised and have a Grand Slam behind them, but the French will always have a chance given the talent available. The lads give their quarter-final predictions, although some are more definitive than others as Ruaidhri flip-flops over an Ireland win, with Jonathan confident of a first trip to the quarter-finals and Cian predicting Schmexit.

Cian Tracey, Ruaidhri O'Connor, and Jonathan Bradley are on hand to discuss the fall out of Bundee Aki's three-game ban and what it means for Ireland's World Cup hopes. After a busy day scattered across Tokyo, Cian visited the All Blacks camp and got the thoughts of their assistant coach Ian Foster on what kind of challenge he expects from Ireland on Saturday. Meanwhile, Ruaidhri and Jonathan were in Disneyland where the mood within the Ireland squad is noticeably positive despite the news of Aki's suspension. The lads argue why Robbie Henshaw and Garry Ringrose are an ideal centre pairing to face New Zealand, while is some interesting chat surrounding the All Blacks possible team selection.

As if the Rugby World Cup couldn't offer up any more farce, Cian Tracey and Jonathan Bradley report on a "disgraceful" playing surface in Fukuoka where Ireland complete their pool campaign against Samoa tomorrow. Compared to the impending destruction of Super-Typhoon Hagibis, this is small beer but it was clear from Joe Schmidt's behaviour at today's Captain's Run that hes not happy with the pitch. Along with Ruaidhri O'Connor, the lads assess the potential for danger from the pitch and from Ireland's 17/1 opponents, while they reflect on the looming crisis that will hit the World Cup if Scotland are knocked out without getting the chance to compete for their quarter-final place. All three are tipping a win, but the bonus point and the performance are as important as the result. We take some listeners questions, while Ruaidri has a bit of advice for travelling fans on some no-nos when ordering food in Japan after attracting an audience over dinner last night.

Ireland have named their team, but with two games already cancelled and a third very much at risk Cian Tracey, Jonathan Bradley and Ruaidhri O'Connor discuss the ramifications for the tournament. It could have a direct impact on Ireland's chances in Pool A if Joe Schmidt's side fail to get a bonus point win against Samoa on Saturday. The lads assess Schmidt's team selection for a tough final game as the show goes on in Fukuoka despite the chaos elsewhere.

After watching Scotland hammer Russia, Ruaidhri O'Connor, Cian Tracey and Jonathan Bradley are on hand to run through the permutations for Ireland's quarter-final hopes. The worrying trend of the top teams pulling away from the rest continues as the lads wonder if anything will change after this World Cup. Cian and Jonathan both visited Hiroshima today and speak about the powerful impact it had on them.

Cian Tracey, Ruaidhri O'Connor and Jonathan Bradley are back together as they take the podcast to an outdoor setting along Naka River in Fukuoka. The Typhoon that was threatening Ireland's game against Samoa on Saturday thankfully seems to be veering away from southern Japan, but the hosts game with Scotland could now be thrown into doubt if it hits Tokyo. The lads discuss the knock-on effects of that.  We hear from Joey Carbery who says he wants to repay the faith that has been shown in him. The lads debate the value in trying Carbery at full-back in order to use two play-makers. There are also several listener questions to get through to make up a bumper pod.

Today's a travel day for Ireland and their press pack and that means we're on the road to Fukuoka. Before departure, Cian Tracey and Jonathan Bradley join Ruaidhri O'Connor to reflect on a difficult night for Joe Schmidt's men against Russia.Can a weekend off give them the lift they so appear to need? We hear from captain Rory Best about the team's confidence, while one of our party reveals he made a show of himself in front of the skipper in the hotel tennis court yesterday. There's plenty more happening in Japan with an exciting weekend of rugby ahead, the show must go on after all!

Ireland won 35-0 against Russia in the Kobe Misaki Stadium, but there wasn't much to be positive from a sloppy performance despite Joe Schmidt putting a brave face on things. Cian Tracey, Ruaidhri O'Connor and Jonathan Bradley were all reporting on an error-strewn match that did little to inspire any faith that this Irish team can achieve their goals by getting to a semi-final and beyond in Japan. The injury count is mounting, the players' body-language is poor and there's a familiar feeling about this World Cup Will a couple of days off in Fukuoka do the trick? should Ireland send for Devin Toner if Jordi Murphy is injured? What can Schmidt do to inspire a team who look low on energy and off their game in the next two weeks?

Ruaidhri O'Connor takes a turn in the hot seat and is joined by Cian Tracey and Jonathan Bradley to chat about the Ireland team to face Russia on Thursday. The lads discuss why Johnny Sexton's return is vital to get Ireland moving in the right direction again as an all Munster tight-five packs down together. Cian and Jonathan have both sampled the famous local Kobe beef and there are more tales about a trip to Japanese onsen.

Ireland have moved to Kobe as preparations for the Russia game on Thursday ramp up. Cian Tracey is joined by Jonathan Bradley as they look back on the shock defeat to Japan having had more time to reflect on it. We hear from CJ Stander who admits that the loss to the host nation was up there with the biggest disappointments of his career.  Jordi Murphy is due to link up with the squad today and the lads ask how ready he would be to play on Thursday after the long haul flight. Robbie Henshaw's fitness is in the spotlight again as Joe Schmidt faces a selection headache in midfield.

Ireland's World Cup hit a major speed-bump as Japan turned up the noise on an unforgettable night at the Ecopa Stadium. Cian Tracey is joined by Ruaidhri O'Connor and Jonathan Bradley to reflect on a result that will cause shockwaves across the rugby world and puts Joe Schmidt's on course for a quarter-final against the All Blacks. Did Schmidt get his selection wrong? Was the preparation off and did everyone just underestimate the tournament hosts who played so well? With Jack Conan on the way home and Jordi Murphy set to replace him, the squad only have until Thursday to fix things as they take on Russia in their third game, needing a bonus point win to keep control of their destiny.

There are growing concerns surrounding Jack Conan's ankle injury as Cian Tracey, Ruaidhri O'Connor and Jonathan Bradley discuss the implications of the setback as Ireland gear up for tomorrow's clash against Japan. The lads relay tales of how the mayor of Fukuroi has made Ireland his second team, an elevator encounter with a legendary French scrum-half, and we hear about Jonathan's long trip to Fukuoka to check out how Irish man Peter Nelson got on in his World Cup debut with Canada.

Ireland took a day off their media duties in Shizuoka, which gave Cian Tracey the chance to catch up with a few familiar faces in Nagoya where South Africa are looking to bounce back from their loss to New Zealand against Namibia, while Jonathan Bradley called into the Japanese for their latest thoughts on the clash with Ireland. While they were doing that, Uruguay caused the shock of the tournament so far with their win over Fiji and Ruaidhri O'Connor was watching on. After a night of team bonding with some karaoke, the lads assembled in their hotel lobby to discuss all of the above while being soundtracked by a life flute recital in Hamamatsu, the music capital of Japan. They discussed all of the above, while also chatting about the team selection issues facing Joe Schmidt ahead of tomorrow's announcement and the warning from Uruguay to never underestimate an opponent.

Ireland have moved out of the city and into the country where they give their latest update today. Cian Tracey, Ruaidhri O'Connor and Jonathan Bradley were on hand in Shizuoka to get the latest news and discuss the increasingly bullish noises coming from the Japanese camp ahead of Saturday's game.

Blurb: Cian Tracey and Ruaidhri O'Connor have added Jonathan Bradley from the Belfast Telegraph to their line-up. The lads discuss first their impressions of Yokohama, how the weather is going to be a big factor this weekend and why Christian Lealiifano's remarkable recovery is already the story of the World Cup.

As Ireland gear up for their final warm-up game against Wales before they depart for Japan next week, Cian Tracey and Jonathan Bradley discuss the importance of having an almost fully squad to pick from.We hear from Rory Best who talks about the lineout issues as Jean Kleyn looks for a big performance after a tricky week. The lads agree that there is a lot to like about having CJ Stander and Jack Conan starting in the same back-row.

After Ireland's record defeat to England at Twickenham, Joe Schmidt has picked his team for the redemption mission against Wales in Cardiff. Cian Tracey, Ruaidhri O'Connor and Jonathan Bradley look at his back-row selection, the role of Will Addison and Rory Best's captaincy as the World Cup looms large.
