Sometimes it isn't all Wayne Barnes' fault, and hopefully one of us will be big enough to admit it. It was a dog of a game, but sometimes that just can't be helped all that much, and thankfully Leinster showed yet another way to win. We also discuss Jordi's future, coaching duos, Leo's selections and throw in a little bit of ref talk for good measure.

The Moles get into provincial appointments and dismissals up North and out West respectively, before we delve into the Pro14's health ahead of its semi-finals. And of course, we have a long hard think about Leinster's showdown in Bilbao with Racing 92 and why they should finish the job and round off a stellar European season.

The Moles have lots to discuss after the contrasting European Champions Cup semi-final results for the Irish provinces including the serious men of Leinster; the silver linings for Munster and Van Gran's Grand Plan. Also, why would you take a job with Ulster right now? And what of Sean O'Brien?

The Moles are back with loads of chat about "butt hurt losers" in the Aviva Premiership, international club rugby. Then, closer to home, we talk about Magnificent Max Deegan and where Joey Carbery's future lies. Of course, we also throw in some ropey semi-final predictions too!

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to meet and chat with the legendary Serge Betsen courtesy of Heineken Rugby Club and talked about his career in the game. And of course, Serge is an absolute gent, quelle surprise!

Is winning the Grand Slam the best thing ever? We ask this an other moody questions about where we are now – and where is everybody else going? Who might be next to break through? And who gets referred to as our "eminence grise"?

We ramble about the French resurgence, the English malaise, a thoroughly Schmidtian Ireland, and whether we will the Grand Slam. Oh and a big apology to James Ryan – we should never have doubted you!

We look back at the Wales game, look forward to the Scotland game, talk about tackling on the wing and in the second row, Ireland's problems out wide, England's lack of progress, compare national birth rates, and hype up the GRAND SLAM (shhhhhh!)

The Molecast is back with a lengthy exploration of what to expect when Ireland meets Wales this Saturday in the Six Nations. Then we go clubbing and get into the weeds with Ulster mini-rugby turnout levels, a Tadhg Beirne love-in, and more wild predictions.

We look back at Ireland's victory in France and look forward to how we'll go against Italy. In the second half we look back at the other games, and forward to the other rounds of games.... and make more dreadful predictions.
