Neil Treacy is joined by Ian Keatley on this week's RTE Rugby podcast, as we look back on a tough start to the URC for the four Irish provinces.Former Munster out-half Keatley reacts to some explosive comments from his former captain Peter O'Mahony on the current state of Munster Rugby, and agrees that changes are needed in the way the organisation is run if they are to get back to former glory.The ex-Ireland international also recaps the province's defeat to Glasgow Warriors last Saturday, where he was encouraged by some elements of their game, in spite of the 26-20 loss.We look at Leinster's defeat to the Lions in Johannesburg, and pick out some of the positives Leo Cullen may have taken from a game where his side picked up two losing-bonus points.We analyse how Connacht were worn down in the final quarter by a powerful Stormers side in Galway on Friday night, and we look at how Ulster face a daunting trip to Glasgow as they try to rebound from their defeat to Edinburgh.00:00 - Hitting the panic button after four defeats for the provinces?05:25 - Ian reacts to Peter O'Mahony's comments on how Munster Rugby is run15:00 - Some positives in spits of defeat for Munster?18:20 - Signs of a new style of playing with Munster?22:50 - Caelan Doris reported to be out until the new year24:45 - Leinster pick up two bonus-points - will Leo Cullen be satisfied with that?33:00 - Connacht ground down by relentless Stormers35:15 - Have Irish teams got an issue playing the South Africans?41:10 - How much is Ian reading into Ulster's shocking 50 minutes against Edinburgh?48:30 - WXV with Hannah O'ConnorSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On episode 251 I am delighted to be joined by Michael Darragh Macauley, one of the defining figures of Dublin's golden era. The Ballyboden St Enda's man won an incredible eight All-Ireland titles, alongside 10 Leinster titles and five National Football League medals. He was a two-time All Star and was named GAA/GPA Footballer of the Year in 2013 after a standout season with Dublin. Known for his explosive, aggressive style and fiercely competitive personality, he became a central character in one of the most dominant teams in Gaelic football. After retiring from inter-county football in 2021, Michael Darragh has continued to build a career focused on community, fitness, media and making an impact beyond sport.In this episode we go back to the serious knee injury at 20 that threatened to end his football career before it had truly begun.Michael Darragh explains how rejection from the Dublin panel, a summer playing football in San Francisco and rediscovering his love for the game changed his trajectory.We explore the culture inside the Dublin dressing room and the mentality that helped them claim 6 All-Ireland titles in a row. He shares what he learned from Pat Gilroy's management style and why internal competition was such a crucial part of Dublin's success.We discuss the major defeats that shaped the team and how Dublin turned painful losses into lessons that fuelled their dominance. Michael Darragh opens up about the death of his father in 2013 and how that difficult period influenced his Footballer of the Year season. We explore his identity away from the traditional image of a professional athlete, from basketball and hip-hop influences to maintaining a life outside football. Finally, we discuss retirement, finding purpose beyond elite sport, community work, and the legacy he hopes to leave behind. Note this was recorded in late July.

Hörerfrage des Monats: Wo kaufst du in Irland eigentlich ein?Wo kauft man in Irland Lebensmittel und Dinge für den täglichen Bedarf? Welche Supermärkte gibt es und worin unterscheiden sie sich?In dieser Hörerfrage des Monats geht es um die verschiedenen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in Irland. Dabei werfen wir einen Blick auf bekannte Ketten wie Aldi, Lidl und Tesco, aber auch auf den irischen Supermarkt SuperValu.Außerdem erfahren wir, warum Aldi für viele alltägliche Einkäufe die erste Wahl ist, was für Obst, Gemüse und die Backtheke von Lidl spricht und wann sich ein Besuch bei SuperValu oder Boots lohnt. Auch die Bedeutung lokaler Metzgereien und der bewusste Blick auf Herkunft und Qualität von Fleisch kommen zur Sprache.Besonders praktisch: Rund um Max' Wohnort befinden sich fast alle wichtigen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten nur wenige Gehminuten entfernt.Vielen Dank an Robert für die spannende Frage!Fragen, Anregungen oder Themenvorschläge?

David Wilson is back with Tuesday's Rugby Daily, with Peter O'Mahony reflecting on a “bizarre” end-of-season situation at Munster after the 2023 World Cup — and why, despite the business side of rugby, the province will always be “home”.There's also Munster team news ahead of the URC weekend, with Craig Casey and Jeremy Loughman returning, while injuries bite elsewhere. Alan Quinlan weighs in on reasons for optimism, and singles out young scrum-half Ben O'Donovan.Plus, Beibhinn Parsons becomes Ireland Women's record try-scorer in a 31-24 win over Japan, and the latest on Jack Willis' Ireland eligibility talk and Leinster injury updates.Rugby Daily on Off The Ball with Bank of Ireland | #NeverStopCompeting

In dieser Episode schauen wir uns an, warum Orte wie Sligo oder Kilkenny trotz vergleichsweise kleiner Einwohnerzahlen eine erstaunlich große regionale Bedeutung haben. Welche Rolle spielen Bevölkerungsdichte, Einzugsgebiete, Verwaltung, Einzelhandel, Bildung, Kultur und Verkehr – und warum lassen sich irische und deutsche Städte deshalb oft nur schwer anhand ihrer Einwohnerzahl vergleichen?Dabei geht es auch um die Frage, warum sich Sligo mit gut 20.000 Einwohnern in mancher Hinsicht eher mit einer deutlich größeren deutschen Mittelstadt vergleichen lässt – und weshalb sich dieser Effekt besonders in ländlicheren Teilen Irlands zeigt.Themen der EpisodeWarum 20.000 Einwohner in Irland nicht unbedingt dasselbe bedeuten wie 20.000 Einwohner in DeutschlandSligo als regionales Zentrum im Nordwesten IrlandsKilkenny zwischen Verwaltung, Kultur, Tourismus und SportVergleich mit Städten wie Landshut, Rosenheim oder BurghausenBevölkerungsdichte in Irland und DeutschlandWarum größere Einzugsgebiete die Bedeutung kleiner Städte verändernWie sich Aufgaben und Angebote in Deutschland auf mehrere Städte verteilenWarum irische Städte dadurch oft „größer“ wirken, als ihre Einwohnerzahl vermuten lässtQuellen & weiterführende LinksCentral Statistics Office Ireland – Census 2022Bevölkerungszahlen und regionale Daten zu irischen Städten und Countieshttps://www.cso.ie/CSO – Census of Population 2022: Population Distribution and Movementshttps://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-cpp1/censusofpopulation2022profile1-populationdistributionandmovements/Weitere Informationen zu den genannten Städten und ihren regionalen Funktionen finden sich außerdem auf den Webseiten der jeweiligen Local Authorities und regionalen Einrichtungen.Unterstützt den PodcastWenn euch A Bavarian Stranded in Ireland gefällt und ihr das Projekt unterstützen möchtet, könnt ihr mir gerne einen virtuellen Kaffee spendieren:https://buymeacoffee.com/abavarian_irelandMehr vom Podcast & KontaktFolgt A Bavarian Stranded in Ireland auch hier: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/abavarianstrandedinirelandFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/abavarianstrandedinirelandWhatsApp-Kanal:https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaVcgvgFnSzHRcuurV1VFragen, Anregungen oder Themenvorschläge könnt ihr jederzeit schicken an:abavarianstrandedinireland@gmail.com

TQL Rugby Podcast   This week I was delighted to be joined by one of my favourite rugby YouTubers, Riaan Louw!   Riaan is a serial Lions & Springbok supporter as well as a fair and fun observer of all teams and games. When it comes to South African rugby there are few people who can match his passion and knowledge.   Riaan's love of the game speaks for itself. Dedicating six years to creating nearly 200 fun and informative YouTube videos; the Rugby Updates, Riaan is a regular guest over many podcasts and he works hard to share his devotion of rugby to all supporters worldwide!   I first came across the Rugby Updates when a video entitled “What is Rugby” popped up on my feed and I've been hooked ever since.   Riaan offers funny, fair and knowledgeable opinions on a wide array of games from club to international, women's and men's games alike!    We discuss what got Riaan into rugby, his beloved Lions and how they put the All Blacks to the test.   We also touched on how the Springboks maintain such dominance in the world of rugby as well as take a look at the upcoming URC season starting this Friday!   You can find Riaan on YouTube (@RiaanLouw), X (@Ringo26) and Instagram (ringo1926)!

Mad Planet by Murray Leinster invites listeners into a vivid exploration of a world transformed by alien influences and the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. This thought-provoking narrative examines the challenges of survival and adaptation in an unfamiliar environment, showcasing the enduring themes of hope and ingenuity. As we navigate our own rapidly changing world, the story's exploration of humanity's response to external forces remains remarkably relevant. Leinster's imaginative storytelling and keen insights into human nature make this audiobook a captivating listen that resonates with both current and timeless struggles.

He was the man who presided over one of the country's most turbulent events, when Ireland's Celtic Tiger came crashing down. Now, a new book chronicling the political life of Brian Cowen has hit the shelves. Cowen's time as taoiseach was defined by the banking crash, the recession and the financial crisis that transformed the country. So, what led to the Offaly man's political rise? What light does this book shed on his time in Leinster house? And how will history remember the man who handled the bailout? On today's Indo Daily, Tessa Fleming is joined by the Irish Independent's Ireland editor, Fionnán Sheahan, to discuss Gary Murphy's new book, Brian Cowen: Anatomy of a Taoiseach, and the crisis that defined his tenure.

#leinster #leinsterrugby #ireland   With the new URC season starting next week on Friday, I took a moment to look back and reflect on my top five comical/unusual and downright embarrassing moments I've had when meeting Leinster players and their family over the years.   Each encounter has been at away games, as with living in the UK it's much easier to see them when they come over, and as ever, the players always make time for us fans, mad ones and all.   Despite being six months out of being 40, so older than all players concerned, a rugby writer and technically a journalist to the players, I find that like any fan I find when meeting the players that my brain and voice decide to go on their own little adventure resulting in me asking the most bizarre questions or making the most ludicrous statements. Long may it remain.   Despite being six months away from turning 40, making me older than all the players concerned, I'm a rugby writer and, technically, a journalist to them, yet, like any fan, I find that when meeting the players, my brain and voice decide to go on their own little adventure, resulting in me asking the most bizarre questions or making the most ludicrous statements. Long may it remain.   So I compiled my top five moments meeting Leinster players and I hope you enjoy!   #leinster #leinsterrugby #ireland #irishrugby #irish #rugby #rugbyunion #heroes #embarassing #funny #goodhumor

Lebenshaltungskosten 2026: Irland vs. Deutschland – was bleibt wirklich übrig?Irland gilt als eines der teuersten Länder Europas – gleichzeitig sind aber auch die Einkommen deutlich höher als in Deutschland. Doch was bedeutet das tatsächlich für den Alltag? Ist das Leben auf der grünen Insel wirklich so viel teurer, wenn man nicht nur auf Preise, sondern auch auf das verfügbare Einkommen schaut?In dieser Folge nehme ich die Lebenshaltungskosten in Irland und Deutschland 2026 genauer unter die Lupe. Anders als bei unserem Vergleich aus dem Jahr 2022 betrachten wir diesmal keinen einfachen Warenkorb, sondern einen modellierten Zwei-Personen-Haushalt mit zwei Einkommen und ohne Kinder.Neben dem landesweiten Vergleich schauen wir außerdem auf Dublin und München sowie Waterford und Mönchengladbach. Dabei zeigt sich: Die absoluten Kosten unterscheiden sich teilweise erheblich – beim Anteil des Einkommens, der am Monatsende übrig bleibt, liegen Irland und Deutschland jedoch überraschend nah beieinander.Außerdem geht es um:

As Ronan O'Gara decides La Rochelle is home and that's where he's staying I took some time to think about another front runner in the Leinster head coach race, Felipe Contepomi. The Argentine already has great familiarity with Leinster both on and off the field, between 2003 and 2009 Felipe scored an astonishing 1225 points for Leinster before returning in 2018 to become the back's coach. During his time as Argentina head coach Felipe can hang his hat on an impressive number of international wins including a series win against Scotland as well as defeating Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa as well as their first win on Dublin soil as they defeated the British & Irish Lions. Can Felipe's experience and prowess help Leinster achieve that ever elusive fifth star?

Deep in the Brazilian jungle, a terrified family has found a way to bargain with something no human being was meant to bargain with. When an American naturalist realizes who—or what—is demanding payment, he begins to understand how easily an army of tiny creatures could become something far more dangerous. Doomsday Deferred by Murray Leinster. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Murray Leinster is one of my favorite authors and this is the 12th story written by Leinster that we have featured on the podcast.

On episode 247 I am joined by Dublin's 1983 All-Ireland winning Captain and player of the year, one of the most respected figures in the history of Dublin Gaelic football Tommy Drumm. His football journey began with Whitehall Colmcilles, and continued through Dublin's underage ranks, including the 1975 All-Ireland Under-21 final, before he established himself as a senior inter-county player. Tommy represented Dublin at senior level from 1976 to 1984, establishing himself as one of the best defenders of his generation and becoming a key member and leader of the famous Dublin teams of the late 1970s and early 1980s.During his inter-county career, Tommy won three All-Ireland Senior Football Championships, five Leinster titles. Four All-Stars, Tommy captained Dublin to their first All-Ireland Senior Football title in six years in 1983 when Dublin defeated Galway with Tommy lifting Sam Maguire as captain. He would return as Dublin captain in 1984, leading the team to another Leinster title and back to the All-Ireland final, before retiring at just 28 to move abroad and focus on his professional career.Away from the football field, Tommy went on to build a very successful career in the construction industry.Drumm became Managing Director of Collen Construction, combining his practical experience in construction and leadership. During our chat Tommy offers a unique perspective on Dublin football — from the legendary teams of the 1970s and 1980s, the dressing room and approach by Kevin Heffernan, captaining Dublin to All-Ireland glory, and the characters and stories behind one of the most memorable eras in GAA history, to leadership, business and finding success in sport and business.This episode is sponsored by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sport Expo Ireland⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,  a brand-new event taking place at the Sport Ireland Campus on April 21st and 22nd, 2027.  Designed to connect stakeholders from every corner of the Irish sporting landscape. Attendees will hear from leading voices in sport, take part in interactive workshops and masterclasses, explore the latest developments in elite performance, business and technology. Whether you're involved in elite performance, grassroots, business, or simply passionate about where Irish sport is heading, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sport Expo Ireland ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠is set to become one of the most exciting gatherings on the sporting calendar.

CELTIC PODFEST AND ARTS MARKET The 2026 Celtic PodFest was a tremendous success. Kinnfolk and The Muckers joined me for our first festival at The Lost Druid Brewery in Avondale Estates, Ga. The festival happened because of many of my listeners who pledged at our start - of - the - year Kickstarter. We had a great turnout, but we could've done better if we had planned it more than a month out. There is now a Kickstarter Pre - Launch Page for our Second Celtic PodFest. You'll find a link in the shownotes. This fundraiser will hopefully allow us to bring a second festival to you. The Kickstarter will launch in September. Will you help?

Troy of The Secret Commonwealth emailed a sad follow up back in March to the news about his friend who was illegally held in ICE custody: "Marc, thank you so much for sharing the fundraiser for my friend on your new episode. It is with profoundly heavy heart that I have to tell you that my friend died last Sunday of a heart attack. He had been moved to a hospital in Mississippi and apparently suffered two successive attacks. His body is being returned now. To say we are devastated and infuriated would be inadequate to describe our state of being. We had just been sending his lawyers important records and documents that we felt, along with his obvious serious health conditions, had a very good chance of securing his release. We'll never know now if that would have proven to be true, but we just needed him to endure a little while longer, which he ultimately could not. He died one month short of a year since being detained by ICE. I have not yet publicly announced this in an update to our fundraiser because, frankly, it's still too fresh and painful to address. But any proceeds we've made will obviously now be put toward the cost of his funeral service. Sorry to impart this bad news, but I mostly wanted to express my gratitude to you for your kind support on behalf of Pejman's family, my girlfriend (who was his dearest friend in the world and who spearheaded this fight for his freedom) and for me. Best to you,"

Connacht's hopes of a first women's interprovincial final appearance in seven years didn't materialise in Dexcom Stadium on Saturday (22nd August 2026) as Munster dominated to set up a meeting with Leinster at the same venue next week. Tuam-Oughterard's Ullian Eilian made a dream debut with a third minute try but the hosts found themselves 21-5 down at half-time. Creggs' Jemima Adams Verling got over the whitewash again in the second period but Munster were always in control. Afterwards, Connacht head coach Craig Hansberry and try scorer Jemima Adams Verling chatted to Galway Bay FM's Alan Deegan. == Connacht will play Ulster in the 3rd-4th play-off next Saturday (29th).  Kick-off at Dexcom Stadium is 2pm.

Every year, fragments of long-lost ships wash ashore on Irish beaches. They are remnants of the thousands of shipwrecks scattered around our coast, dating from Prehistory to the Second World War. Each wreck has a fascinating story from how they went down to their rediscovery often centuries later. In this episode, I speak with Dublin Port Heritage Director Lar Joye at a new exhibition exploring the shipwrecks of Dublin Bay. Our conversation explores several disasters including the famous cases of the Leinster, the Dorset and the Tayleur.We discuss the stories behind these ships, why shipwrecks were so common in the past and why fragments of wrecks continue to wash ashore today. Visit the exhibition: https://www.dublinport.ie/shipwrecks-of-dubln-bay-exhibition-at-the-substation/ Upcoming events at the Substation:https://www.dublinport.ie/heritage-week/ My guest, Lar Joye, has served as Port Heritage Director at Dublin Port since 2017. He cares for the 300-year-old Port Archive and leads projects reconnecting the working port with the city through heritage, culture and public access. Before joining Dublin Port, Lar worked as a film archivist and as Curator of Irish Military History at the National Museum of Ireland. There he led the team behind the award-winning Soldiers & Chiefs exhibition which explores the history of Irish soldiers at home and abroad from 1550 to the present.

Jamesie O' Connor is our special guest this week on Hurling Chat. The Clare legend joins Sean Walsh and among the items discussed are: - Jamesie gives an 'outside' view on Galway's loss to Limerick in the All Ireland Final - The quality of the 2026 Hurling Championship was disappointing - where game at? - Munster v Leinster: difference in competitiveness, quality & atmosphere - What are the Rules Expert committee likely to come up with to improve the game? - How do we get more quality games to showcase the game? And - How do the counties, outside of the elite group, be meaningfully improved?

A ten-year-old boy discovers that the fantastic dangers in his comic books may be closer to reality than any scientist suspects. When a friendly voice from another star offers him an astonishing invention, Tommy must decide whether he is speaking to an ally—or helping an enemy reach Earth. From Beyond the Stars by Murray Leinster. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. One of the questions we hear quite often is, Why did so many science fiction authors use pen names? There were actually several reasons. Magazine editors usually didn't want a single issue to look as though it had been written by just one person, even if one author had supplied several excellent stories. Writers also sold stories to competing magazines, experimented with different styles, or simply wanted the flexibility of publishing under multiple names. Today's story is a perfect example. If you pick up the June 1947 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories, you'll see that From Beyond the Stars is credited to Will F. Jenkins, one of the many pen names used by William Fitzgerald Jenkins—the author we know today as Murray Leinster. So why didn't he simply use Murray Leinster? Because the same issue already featured another Murray Leinster story, The Boomerang Circuit. Publishing both stories under the same byline would have made it obvious that one writer dominated the magazine. But there's another twist. A third story in that very issue, The Nameless Something, is credited to William Fitzgerald, another variation of his own name. The result? Of the seven stories published in the June 1947 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories, three were written by the same man—William Fitzgerald Jenkins. By using three different bylines, the magazine appeared to showcase a wider range of authors, while readers unknowingly enjoyed three stories from one of science fiction's most prolific and influential writers. We will find our story on page 82 in the June 1947 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories, From Beyond the Stars by Murray Leinster… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Stranded on an iron asteroid by ruthless competitors, two Earthmen discover that their foolish-looking captors have one irresistible weakness. Steve Burgess has a daring escape plan, but activating it could send the entire asteroid hurtling toward disaster. Juke Box Asteroid by Joseph Farrell.

We're not starting with the football — it's rugby first, as David Humphreys confirms Ronan O'Gara is in the mix for the Leinster job. What would it actually mean for the province, and how would a coach of his pedigree handle a crowded out-half picture with the likes of Prendergast, Byrne and Carbery?The Ireland team is named too, with plenty of rotation, debut hopes, and a first captaincy for Tadhg Beirne — plus a big start at 10 for Ciaran Frawley.And then it's World Cup quarter-final hype, newspaper back pages, and a detour into boots, runners and marginal gains in GAA.Off The Ball Breakfast with Viagra Connect 50mg film-coated tablets.

A weekend of pumpings.Leinster pumped the Bulls in Ireland to claim the URC title. Our friends the Hurricanes looked incredible and gale-forced their way to a totally, utterly, humiliating pumping of the Chiefs in a frankly silly 60–50 loss. And in what is usually a bit of a laugh, the Barbarians taking on South Africa in the Republic looked slightly less like a laugh this time, as the Baa-Baas also received a reasonably serious pumping.So if you were in dire need of some tight rugby, like some of us were, this was absolutely not the weekend for you.That brings the domestic season to a close, with a little sprinkling of international flavour thrown in. But maybe the biggest story of the week eclipsed all of that: Dave Rennie naming his inaugural All Blacks squad.Four new names were included, perhaps none more interesting than Anton Segner. The German-born loose forward came to New Zealand as a 15 or 16-year-old on what was basically a student exchange, and now, ten years later, he's in the All Blacks. Quite an incredible story — especially after standing out in a poorly performing Blues outfit like a diamond in a sea of poo.Stop it.Also, a massive thanks to Allouran for the wine. We appreciate it very, very much.Grab a beer and enjoy. Or, in this case, maybe a wine.

Leinster, British & Irish Lions and Ireland veteran Gordon D'Arcy joins GBRXtra to discuss Leinster's triumph in the URC and the form of Irish rugby ahead of the Nations Championship. Gordon gives his disappointed verdict on the departure of Leo Cullen, praise for Andy Farrell's extension as Ireland's Head Coach and his analysis of the Irish pathway system. Speaking of future rugby stars, the lads have a read of Gordon's latest book, Let's Play Rugby, the fifth in his series for children. Gordon's new picture book encourages children to play out every step of a professional a rugby game from kicking off to dizzying celebrations, encouraging a new generation of Henry Pollocks to take to the field. Let's Play Rugby is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lets-Play-Rugby-Gordon-DArcy/dp/1915071771 01:15

The lads unpack a massive weekend of finals rugby as the Northampton Saints are crowned champions of England and Leinster go back to back! We get stuck into how Saints proved they're more than just razzle dazzle, grinding out a proper final win over a very good Exeter side, with George Hendy coming up clutch yet again and Henry Pollock continuing his takeover as the main character. Hendy joins the pod from a beer garden fresh from the celebrations to talk through the win, the party, and George Furbank's fairytale Saints send-off . We also head to Croke Park, where Leinster absolutely blew the Bulls away to go back-to-back in the URC, with Sam Prendergast putting in a statement performance, Handre Pollard having a night to forget and some big Ireland injury worries coming out of it. Plus, there's chat on Leo Cullen's future, England XV's strange outing against France, the Boks battering the Barbarians, Super Rugby chaos and loads more.

Did the new Prem champions, Northampton, make a mistake by letting George Furbank leave? And has Steve Borthwick got the balance right in his Nations Championship squad? Ugo, Chris and DC take a more considered look back at Saturday's Prem final, asking whether Exeter could have done more to trouble Saints. As England's squad for the Nations Championship is named, Ugo asks whether the team should start to be built around Henry Pollock. They also discuss the merits of neutral venues for semi-finals, consider who might succeed Leo Cullen at Leinster, and make their predictions for the Top 14 and PWR finals.

Prem Rugby delivered absolute chaos this weekend as Exeter Chiefs pulled off one of the great playoff comebacks, overturning a 16-point deficit to stun Bath at The Rec and book a place in the Premiership Final. We break down Rob Baxter's masterclass, Northampton Saints' attack on fire against Leicester Tigers and preview a cracking final at Allianz Twickenham this weekend. Joining us this week is Northampton back-rower Callum Chick, who reflects on Saints' semi-final triumph, his move from Newcastle and what was Goodey like to play with as a young lad… We also look at a blockbuster URC Final between Leinster and the Bulls, will it be 4th time lucky for the South Africans or a homecoming parade in Dublin?
