This is The Knock On, KCLR and Scoreline.ie's weekly rugby podcast.

In this episode, Stephen Byrne is joined by Johnny Tobin from Tullow Rugby Club and Tom Crotty from Carlow Rugby Club.

The lads discuss lots including….

• Kilkenny’s win over the Carlow J2’s in an epic first game back.
• Upcoming training matches between Kilkenny, Carlow and Tullow.
• New players in and out of Carlow and Tullow.
• Kilkenny college and the work being done there with their teams.
• Covid restrictions lifting, what does it mean for local clubs.
• Artificial pitches, why young lads love them and the older lads don’t.
• Sean O’Brien and Tom Daly go head to head in London Irish v Connacht friendly
• Leinster move early season games to the Aviva, the lads prefer RDS for atmosphere.
• Carlow Rugby’s skydiving fund raiser at the weekend.
