Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Jonny Holland on this week's RTÉ Rugby podcast, to recap the opening round of the United Rugby Championship season.

We look at Leinster's chastening defeat to Stormers to begin their campaign, and how there doesn't appear to be any quick fix for their performance issues in Cape Town.

The podcast also breaks down impressive wins for Connacht, Munster and Ulster on the opening weekend, with all three recording bonus-point victories.

We discuss the rude health of the women's game after England lifted the World Cup last weekend, and we also finish this week's pod with a look at the rebel R360 franchise league.
