The story broke over the weekend that white smoke was emerging from Dublin 4 as Bordeaux Bègles coach (and Howler Sport pundit) Noel McNamara looks set to replace Leo Cullen at Leinster. 

Gavin Cummiskey of The Irish Times joins Ger to react to the news of McNamara's potential return to Irish Rugby and Ronan O'Gara's disappointment at being overlooked for the job.    

There's also Kevin Kilbane and Darron Gibson on Arsenal's brute force, Jamie Carragher's apology and Man Utd's toxic dressing room.
