Neil Treacy is joined by Ian Keatley and Tom Daly on this week's RTÉ Rugby podcast, as we look back on a great weekend for the Irish teams in the Investec Champions Cup and Challenge Cup.

The panel discusses what was a cracking opening weekend across the board in the Champions Cup, as the new bonus-point system had the desired effect.

We ask who could be Ireland's starting number 8 for Ireland in the Nations Championship window, with Jack Conan a doubt for next month's games due to a shoulder injury, while the podcast also looks at how Ireland's out-halves are hitting impressive form at just the right time.
