January 22, 2025 What are Munster 'very good' at and what are Munster 'very poor' at?
Steered by Tadhg Beirne's assessment of Munster's thrilling defeat to Northampton, James Tracy joins Gavan Casey to explore in detail where Munster are going right and where they're going wrong as they seek to turn the corner in their season.

JT also gives his thoughts on why England are underrated coming into this Six Nations, how to scrummage against Rabah Slimani, and what separates generational players such as Conor Murray and Jordie Barrett from their peers.

January 20, 2025 Leinster turn on style, Jack Crowley is back, and a wild weekend in Europe
Bernard Jackman and Murray Kinsella join Gavan Casey to sift through a mad weekend in the Champions Cup as Ulster joined Leinster and Munster in the last 16, which is a fun story but probably isn't a great reflection on the competition.

The lads discuss whether Leinster's resounding victory over Bath was their most complete of the season, and why things should be looking up for Munster with another new Irish-qualified arrival set to join Michael Milne and Lee Barron at the province from next season.

Berch, meanwhile, is not yet convinced by Connacht despite their strong response to last month's defeat to Ulster.

January 08, 2025 A Munster-Sarries shootout, getting around LAR's lineout defence, and Ireland squad bolters
James Tracy joins Gavan Casey to preview the Champions Cup weekend.

JT gives his first-hand experience of facing Maro Itoje, a breakdown of Jamie George's irreplicable lineout darts, and an assessment of Saracens' attacking shape ahead of their visit to Thomond Park on Saturday.

He also gives his thoughts on the latest instalment of the Leinster-La Rochelle rivalry, and does not share Gavan's overwhelming confidence that Leinster will have too much for Ronan O'Gara's men at the Stade Marcel-Deflandre.

Plus: why Leicester may still have too much for Ulster, and which fresh faces will break into Andy Farrell's Ireland squad for the Six Nations?
