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

In this episode, Stephen Byrne is joined by Tom Crotty from Carlow Rugby Club and James Blanchfield from Kilkenny Rugby Club.

The lads discuss lots including….

• Carlow, Kilkenny and Tullow ship losses in the Leinster League
• No games this weekend for the men, the women’s team are out though
• We discuss the pressure of the Leinster league and how a loss can send your season into a spiral 
• The lads talk about their clubs ambitions for the next few years
• And the Irish Squad has been named for the November Internationals, no Ed Byrne, Simon Zebo is back and we discuss the other talking points.

Don't forget to visit scoreline.ie for more on rugby, and of course, if you’re into your GAA, we have the clash act, and lots more.
