Ahead of AIL finals weekend, Murray and Gav are joined by a pair of legends from the clubs involved in Sunday's Division 1A showpiece: Terenure director of rugby Ian Morgan and life-long Cork Con clubman John O'Mahony.

Ian and John discuss their sides' roads to the final, the drastic improvement of the AIL as a product in recent years, and how clubs can continue to drive membership within their respective communities.

Murray and Gav put a lid on a Leinstertaining week and look ahead to the four provinces’ URC clashes this weekend — all of which are important.

As the dust settles on Jordie Barrett’s move to Leinster, infamous provocateur Murray also fields questions on Munster’s 2021 signing of Jason Jenkins — his thoughts on which continue to annoy some people three years later.

Plus, it turns out some of our listeners were ahead of the curve when it comes to making the IRFU’s central contract system at least slightly more palatable for Connacht, Ulster and Munster.

On this week's Rugby Extra for The 42 subscribers, we bid farewell to our colleague of almost five years, Eoin Toolan, who has joined Joe Schmidt's Australia coaching ticket. Eoin talked Gavan Casey through his new role and what he believes Schmidt will bring to Australian rugby union.

Also, Bernard Jackman gave his thoughts on Connacht after their heavy home defeat to the Lions. They were, eh, not kind.
