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 narrow win over Tullow in the local derby & preview of the Cill Dara game.
• Kilkenny’s game called off over covid in the opposition club, no games played for five weeks, they play Gorey this weekend.
• Covid disruption in the Leinster League.
• Leinster losing to Ulster and a preview of Leinster v Connacht
• Munster getting stuck in South Africa with covid cases, and the Heineken Champions Cup games, what happens next?
