Connacht win again!! We recap a gutsy performance from Connacht against a physical Stormers team. We also recap Leinster's win and Rhys Ruddock's phenomenal career and 200 caps. Then we chat about Irelands strange win and performance against Italy. A game remembered for a law rather than anything else.

Rory Boyd talks Ireland's chances, Taiwanese watches, the concept of Rhys Ruddock, picking 17 players, an interesting lockdown situation and Steven Bradbury.

On this week's episode of The Left Wing, Will Slattery and Luke Fitzgerald are joined by Ruaidhri O'Connor to go over all the latest rugby news and look ahead to Andy Farrell's Six Nations squad announcement. The lads kick things off by going over the state of affairs in the Champions Cup, PRO14 and Six Nations after a week that saw postponements and rescheduling. The discussion then moves on to the news that the CVC deal to buy a portion of the Six Nations is close to being announced. Would the Six Nations moving behind a paywall be catastrophic for participation and interest? The lads then assess a number of players in terms of where they stand in the Ireland pecking order, with Tadhg Beirne, Rhys Ruddock, Dave Kearney, Jack Carty and Stuart McCloskey all up for discussion.

Bernard Jackman, Murray Kinsella and Gavan Casey dial each other up for a performance review of the four provinces' last weekend, while also looking ahead to their fixtures over the next few days. Late tackles and the injury suffered by Munster's Ben Healy against Quins stirs some wider-context chat, and Rhys Ruddock becomes the centre of attention which so often hasn't been the case during his mysterious Ireland career (or relative lack thereof) to date

On this week's episode of The Left Wing, Will Slattery and Luke Fitzgerald are joined by Neil Francis to discuss Ireland's Six Nations defeat to England. Luke is disappointed that the pattern of the loss followed along similar lines to Ireland's recent defeats to England, while Neil says that Ireland were outfought by Eddie Jones' side. The form of the Ireland half-backs, Conor Murray and Johnny Sexton is discussed, with Luke saying that he thinks Sexton might be carrying an injury. In terms of changes to the team, Neil says that Leinster back row Rhys Ruddock - who was omitted from the Six Nations squad - is someone who could make a difference for Andy Farrell's men. The French revival, Joey Carbery's latest injury and Eddie Jones' selection decisions are all up for discussion too. the Left Wing is sponsored by Land Rover

Improved Ireland, South Africa look north and Rhys Ruddock on his Six Nations omission On this week's episode of The Left Wing, Will Slattery and Luke Fitzgerald are joined by Ruaidhri O'Connor and Rhys Ruddock after another Six Nations weekend. Ireland made it two wins from two under Andy Farrell, and the lads talk through the different improvements made in the victory over Wales. Ruaidhri discusses Ireland's more expansive attack while Luke was interested to see the team kick from the outside channels more often. One big selection debate heading towards England at Twickenham is whether Farrell will bring Doris back into the back row after his concussion. Ruaidhri and Luke both think he should start but aren't sure if the Ireland head coach will drop Peter O'Mahony or CJ Stander. Reports have emerged that South Africa might be in line to join the Six Nations after the 2023 World Cup. Is that a good idea? Rhys Ruddock also joins the lads to discuss missing out on Six Nations selection, his World Cup experience and his season to date. The Left Wing is sponsored by Land Rover

It's the most wonderful time of the year. Gavan Casey and Murray Kinsella are joined in studio by Andy Dunne to look ahead to this year's Six Nations and the Andy Farrell era.

On this week's episode of The Left Wing, Will Slattery and Luke Fitzgerald discuss the fallout to the Saracens salary cap scandal and look back at the final weekend of European pool action. Saracens are set to be relegated to the RFU Championship after being found guilty of another salary cap breach this season, with the future of their star-studded squad uncertain. However, despite being relegated to English rugby's second tier, Saracens are still competing in the European Cup, and are set to face Leinster in the Champions Cup quarter-final. Luke says it is a disastrous draw for Leinster, who will face the defending champions in the last eight despite winning all six of their pool games and securing a top seeding. The lads also discuss Andy Farrell's first Six Nations, with Luke expressing his surprise and disappointment at Rhys Ruddock's omission. The form of Stuart McCloskey, Luke's first experience in Ireland camp and Munster's European exit are all up for discussion too.

Cian Tracey and Ruaidhri O'Connor are back after another night of breaking Ireland injury news as Rob Kearney becomes the latest doubt for Sunday's opener against Scotland. We hear from Rhys Ruddock and his brother Ciaran (S&C coach), who both played for the Ireland U-20s at the 2009 Junior World Cup in Japan.

England have got their Autumn International campaign off to a winning start, and quite a surprising one too over South Africa. In studio with Brian Moore to discuss that and the other international fixtures is former Scotland scrum half, Rory Lawson. Was England’s win down to luck? Brian says no, former England scrum half Kyran Bracken says yes. Kyran also says that Farrell needs to be playing at fly half due to his greater physicality than that of George Ford. We discuss the Doddie Weir Cup with Rory and former Wales winger Dafydd James who says it was a lacklustre performance in which the home side never got going, with Luke Morgan "a bit starstruck by the occasion".  Paddy Wallace makes his Full Contact debut to discuss the incredible depth of the Irish squad as displayed at Soldier Field on Saturday night and he tells us about Rhys Ruddock the captain for the match against Italy. We also look at the World Rugby Player of the Year nominations including an appraisal of Faf de Klerk. Plus World Cup winning coach Gary Street brings us up to date with everything in the women's game and looks ahead to the Red Roses' internationals.

The flanker is currently recovering from a nasty hamstring injury and he tells the lads how his rehab is going - as well as giving Irish fans some positive news on his return. Ruddock's dad Mike is a Grand Slam-winning coach with Wales, and Rhys talks about the influence his father has had on his rugby career, as well as explaining how he came to the decision of playing his rugby in Ireland.
