Episode 3381: Munster Monster Leinster, Jack Of Heart, NZ Clouds Gather
Munster had 35% possession, 31% territory, had to make 270 tackles to Leinster’s 117, had the inferior scrum, went down to an early try, and we’re playing against a team full of Lions and Ireland internationals…. and won it easing up, with a 4-try bonus point.

We chat to Shane Horgan and Barry Murphy about Munster’s brilliant all-round display, bigger/faster/stronger/smarter Jack Crowley, turning defence into attack, Clayton McMillan’s impact, Tom Farrell’s emergence as an Ireland contender, Sam Prendergast’s dip in form, and where this leaves Andy Farrell with NZ now on the horizon.

Plus there’s padel talk, Chicago 2016 and when a coach is the right fit for a team.
