This week on The Knock On, KCLR Sport’s weekly rugby podcast, Stephen Byrne is joined by Tom Crotty of Carlow Rugby Club, James Blanchfield from Kilkenny RFC, and Paddy Browne of Tullow RFC to break down all the latest action from across the local rugby scene.

This week on the pod, we are diving into one of the busiest windows in Leinster rugby.

We break down Tullow 1st XV’s high-stakes trip to Newbridge this Saturday—a must-win play-off against DLSP to keep their Division 1A status alive.

We also look ahead to the "Big One" at the Black Gates on March 29th. Tullow's Paddy Browne tells us why he’s looking over his shoulder at a surging Co. Carlow side. Can the Oak Park men pull off a heist in Tullow?

Also in this episode:

• Sean O'Brien is back on the pitch for the Tullow J3s against Navan.
• A massive AIL clash for Tullow vs Cooke, while Kilkenny Women face a top-of-the-table showdown at Foulkstown.
• SETU Head Coach John Farrell and a host of Carlow locals prepare to host UCC in the Division 1 All-Ireland Final this Wednesday. We review the SETU Ladies' brave performance against UCD under Keeva Owens and Paddy Moss.

We also bring you all the latest youth rugby news and updates from around the region.

All that and more on The Knock On.
