On this week's episode of The Left Wing, Will Slattery and Luke Fitzgerald are joined by Cian Tracey to discuss the latest news around the Ireland team and former Leinster hooker Bryan Byrne joins the lads to chat about his move to Bristol.

With Ireland vs Italy already postponed and the rest of the Six Nations games up in the air, there is a lot of uncertainty around the rugby world. Cian explains how Ireland are going about their business as they wait for news about their final game against France.

Also, the lads discuss the fallout to the defeat to England, in particular Johnny Sexton's fiery response to Ronan O'Gara's questions about his captaincy.
Bryan Byrne then joins from Ian Madigan's house in Bristol as he explains why he decided to leave Leinster and join Pat Lam's side in the Gallagher Premiership.

Byrne, who joined Leinster in 2012 with his twin brother Ed, admits it was tough to leave his sibling behind and start a new challenge in England but he is relishing the prospect of more game-time.
