March 04, 2024 Snyman a league above, Ulster still too soft, and English discontent ahead of Ireland
Murray Kinsella, Bernard Jackman and Gavan Casey review the provinces' victories in the URC.

Rhys Carré presented Leinster with a test that they ultimately passed, but without impressing Murray. RG Snyman was head, shoulders and hands above everyone else on the pitch for Munster against Zebre, albeit Mike Haley also impressed.

The lads also look ahead to Twickenham, with The Telegraph reporting that some England players are fed up with spending so much time on Felix Jones' defensive plan.
