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

On This Week’s Episode:

• Derby Fever: It’s the big one! We preview the massive Towns Cup Quarter-Final as Tullow hosts Carlow. With Tullow coming off a season-best performance against De La Salle Palmerston and Carlow fresh and hungry, will match fitness or freshness win the day?
• History in the Making: We celebrate a landmark moment as the Tullow Women secure their first AIL win in two years. We look ahead to their high-stakes relegation battle against Ennis.
• Underage Excellence: A massive roundup of the youth circuit—from the U13s reaching a Leinster semi-final to the U16s' thrilling victory over Carlow.
• The Province & The Philosophy: The lads talk Leinster, the loss of RG Snyman, and the big debate: Is Jacques Nienaber’s defensive philosophy holding back Leinster’s natural attacking flair?
• Junior Rugby Roundup: Updates on the Seconds and Thirds as cup action heats up across the board.

Don’t miss the crack on the sideline! Whether you’re heading to the Black Gates or tuning in on the radio, we’ve got everything you need to know before kick-off, the game is also live on KCLR Radio.

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

All that and more on The Knock On.
