Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Jonny Holland to discuss the week's big news in Irish rugby.

We look back on Sunday's Energia All-Ireland League final, where Jonny's Cork Constitution side were edged out by Clontarf 22-21 in a gripping Aviva Stadium decider.

The panel then turn their attention to a chastening weekend for the Irish provinces in the BKT URC (12:55), with all four sides losing a regular season game on the same weekend for the first time since 2015.

Later, we look ahead to Leinster's Investec Champions Cup semi-final against Northampton Saints on Saturday (43:21).

And Neil also sits down at the Aviva to chat to Ireland prop Linda Djougang (53:05), who looks back on the recent Guinness Women's Six Nations campaign, and discusses her journey through rugby, as well as Ireland's World Cup ambitions.

URC whitewash for the provinces plus Linda Djougang interview

Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Johne Murphy on the RTÉ Rugby podcast as attention turns to the last 16 of the Investec Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup.

As Leinster lead the way for Ireland in the Champions Cup, we take a temperature check on where Leo Cullen's side are as they head into the business end of the season, with their discipline and cards the major focus point.

We look at the importance of Jack Crowley to Munster's fortunes, as the out-half showed his class in Pretoria, in spite of another defeat for the province.

We ask whether Connacht can make it six wins in a row for just the third time ever, with Stuart Lancaster's in-form side hosting Sharks in the Challenge Cup on Friday.

And we take a look at Ulster's efforts to bulk up their squad for next season, after their bonus-point win away to Zebre.

Leinster's cards, Crowley's class, and knockout rugby has arrived

Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Johne Murphy on this week's RTÉ Rugby podcast as we look back on a mixed week for the Irish provinces in the URC.

We discuss Connacht's best performance of the season as they fronted up on defence to secure a bonus-point win away to Ulster, led by the brilliant Bundee Aki.

The panel also discuss Jack Carty's legacy at Dexcom Stadium after the out-half confirmed he would retire at the end of the season.

We analyse how Ulster can pick up the pieces and finish what has been a promising season on a high, and we dig into two miserable outings for Munster and Leinster in their heavy defeats to the Sharks and Glasgow.
