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's incredible comeback and savage win over Boyne.
• Tullow's game with Longford called off with ten minutes to go because of behaviour on the sideline, the Leinster branch are involved now.
• Kilkenny’s game was called off too due to covid cases.
• We discuss referee abuse in general and is it on the rise?
• We review Ireland V Japan and preview Ireland v All Blacks.
• Ireland women’s rugby and the current issues.
