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….

• Leinster League games cancelled this weekend due to covid cases, Kilkenny, Carlow, and Tullow’s games are off.
• Youths Rugby over the Christmas period, plenty of action for the local clubs.
• Munster Rugby and the problems there getting worse, we discuss Johann Van Graan leaving for Bath, who takes over and when?
• Covid cancellations of Champions Cup and URC games.
• Leinster v Montpellier, was it fair to give the french side the points even though Leinster had a team ready to play.

And lots more.
