This is The Knock On, KCLR, and Scoreline.ie's weekly rugby podcast.

In this episode, Stephen Byrne is joined by Tom Crotty from Carlow Rugby Club, James Blanchfield from Kilkenny RFC, and Johnny Tobin from Tullow RFC.

The lads discuss...

• Tullow ladies lose to Old Belvedere 53-10, we pick apart the loss and look ahead to their game against Railway Union.
• We talk about youth rugby in Carlow, Kilkenny and Tullow, and about club loyalty and young players heading to other clubs.
• We preview the men's Leinster League games this weekend including Athy v Carlow under lights on Saturday, Kilkenny v Suttonians and Tullow's trip to Mullingar.

Don't forget to visit scoreline.ie for more on rugby, and of course, if you’re into your GAA, we have the clash act and lots more.
