The Christmas interpros have been and gone, Leinster and Ulster prevailing over Munster and Connacht respectively. Thomond Park was notable not so much for the quality of rugby but barbs which came off the pitch post-match.

Leo Cullen and Simon Zebo were more than happy to jest with each other, while Tadhg Beirne added his name to the long list of players lamenting the game’s tactical direction of travel as teams such as Leinster continue to spurn attacking rugby.

Meanwhile, Ulster showed their continuing ability to entertain while Connacht remain mired in a slump. Gordon D’Arcy joins Nathan Johns to discuss.
