April 02, 2025 Munster's opportunity against La Rochelle, Leinster make a splash, and JT proposes a new law
James Tracy joins Gavan Casey to provide an analytical preview of Munster's reunion with Ronan O'Gara at the Stade Marcel-Deflandre in the last 16 of the Champions Cup on Saturday.

JT also gives his thoughts on one particularly exciting Leinster young gun, has some strong opinions on the red cards shown to Munster's Alex Nankivell and the Stormers' Neethling Douché in the URC weekend just gone, and proposes a law change around kicking which he believes would lead to the betterment of the game (and might lead to more attacking scrums).

March 26, 2025 Murray and JT pick their personal Lions 23s, plus reaction to Farrell's coaching announcement
James Tracy and Murray Kinsella join Gavan Casey for a Lions pod. The three lads select their personal Lions matchday 23s, with James dipping into Pro D2 for a starter, and a podcast consensus on the 10 jersey that none of the crew expected.

The lads also try to predict Farrell's actual 23 for the first Test against the Wallabies using a regrettably complicated snake-draft system.

Plus, Murray and JT give their thoughts on Andy Farrell's coaching selections and the implications for Ireland's summer tour.

March 18, 2025 Six Nations Review: Ireland's good and bad, France's unique attack, and Lions look-ahead
The full complement of James Tracy, Bernard Jackman, Murray Kinsella and Gavan Casey assess Ireland's championship, the emerging trends of the 2025 Six Nations, the implications of France and possibly England 'getting their shit together', the lack of ready-made replacements for last Saturday's retiring trio, and whether a poor campaign for the Ireland U20s was really indicative of anything.

Plus, the lads tentatively look ahead to the Lions Tour of Australia, picking their captains and discussing The Telegraph's recent report that Andy Farrell is set to select a very Irish-heavy coaching ticket.

March 10, 2025 Assessing the damage after France's dazzling victory over Ireland
Murray Kinsella, Bernard Jackman and Gavan Casey pick through the bones of Ireland's heavy defeat to Les Bleus in a de facto title decider at the Aviva.

Berch explains why he felt like 'a fraud' for putting it all down to power on RTÉ on Saturday, and Gavan wonders why that power deficit hasn't shown up in recent meetings between roughly the same packs.

The lads unspool that and much more, including the Flament/POM clear-out, the silliness of Joe McCarthy's yellow card, Antoine Dupont's injury and France's sense of injustice at a political level, Sam Prendergast's worst game for Ireland (and why he was still nowhere near to blame for the defeat), and Angus Gardner's contempt for Caelan Doris.
