  • Leinster's phase v transition attack, Munster's scrum misfortune, and who backs up JGP for Ireland

    Leinster's phase v transition attack, Munster's scrum misfortune, and who backs up JGP for Ireland
    Dec 18 2024

    James Tracy joins Gavan Casey to analyse Leinster's victory over Clermont, with a particular focus on their lineout woes, the change in focus between their phase and transition attacks, and the impact of Nienaber's defensive principles almost a year into the job.


    JT also explains why he feels Munster's defeat to Clermont wasn't as bad as it appeared, and why the southern province are actually in a 'good place' heading into their URC interpro with Ulster in Belfast on Friday.


    Plus, if Craig Casey misses the Six Nations, which young Irish out-half should take his place in Andy Farrell's fold?

  • Irish rugby's lineout failings, provinces' mixed European fortunes, and the trouble with the Champions Cup

    Irish rugby's lineout failings, provinces' mixed European fortunes, and the trouble with the Champions Cup
    Dec 16 2024

    Bernard Jackman, Murray Kinsella and Gavan Casey wonder if Leinster's win over Clermont was actually... kind of good? Berch talks lineouts, and why Leinster and Munster's in particular have run into such trouble recently.


    Plus, a bad day in Castres for Munster, who seemed to dearly miss Gavin Coombes. Ulster do a lot right for an hour but still receive a reality check against one of Europe's big boys, and Connacht earn a win in Perpignan which gives them a real shot at a home run in the Challenge Cup.


    The lads also ponder the future of the Champions Cup, which is facing a bit of an existential and commercial crisis.
