This is The Knock On, KCLR Sport's weekly rugby podcast.

Stephen Byrne talks to James Blanchfield from Kilkenny RFC, Tom Crotty from Carlow RFC and Paddy Browne from Tullow RFC.

Tullow were beaten by Seapoint at the weekend in what is a tough run into the end of the season. Seapoint's try at the end of the game put Tullow out of contention for a losing bonus point. Paddy says it's going to be tough to avoid the second from bottom place on the table. Sean O'Brien played at full back and got the last 15 minutes of the game. They take on Athy this weekend in what is another local derby. Tullow women were away to Suttonians in the AIL and were beaten, they take on Railway Union this weekend.

Carlow firsts were away to Athy last weekend where they lost but did pick up two points, the seconds won their game. They take on Ashbourne this weekend at home. The women's team take on Lansdowne.

Kilkenny were at home to Wexford at the weekend, slow start, good middle and shocking end said James Blanchfield. Kilkenny take on Dundalk this weekend. The women take on Longford at home this weekend.

We also have updates on all the youths fixtures from the weekend for the clubs.

And some chat about Ireland in the Six Nations.
