Ulster continuing impressive rebuild as Six Nations comes into focus

Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Gareth Steenson on the first RTÉ Rugby podcast of 2026, as we look back on wins for Ulster and Leinster in the New Year Interpros. First up, we take a look at another impressive Ulster win, as they enjoyed an emphatic 28-3 win against Munster. It continues a fine start to the season for Richie Murphy's side, who have undergone a complete rebuild in the last two seasons. We also look at which Ulster players may have caught the eye of Ireland coach Andy Farrell as the Six Nations looms. The podcast also discusses Munster's recent struggle for form, and how head coach Clayton McMillan looks set to make some ruthless calls as he begins to settle on his best team. We break down an impressive Leinster performance as they hammered Connacht at Aviva Stadium, with the same old failings for Stuart Lancaster's side.

'Backwards' Irish thinking, west is best for Ciarán Frawley

It's Winterpro season on the RTÉ Rugby podcast, as Neil Treacy and Bernard Jackman break down the key points from this week's URC Irish derbies. We look back at Leinster's win against Munster at Thomond Park, which was full of blood and thunder, but light on quality. Munster's Tadhg Beirne is the latest player to voice his frustration with the way rugby is currently being played, but Bernard is growing frustrated at how it only seems to be people in Irish rugby who are struggling to adapt to the current trends. We look at the big news from Connacht, who confirmed the signing of Ciarán Frawley for next season, and we ask whether more players will follow the versatile Leinster back in making a cross-province transfer this season. And we also give Ulster their credit, as Richie Murphy's side continue their impressive start to the season. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

30 Acres: 04 - List of Demands

Four-part mockumentary: Episode 4. It’s Christmastime at 30 Acres and Glenn, Iseult and Holly are hiding out in Glenn’s bomb shelter with their hostage, Sean Granite. Alistair Crowe plans to strike a deal with Holly, sidelining the others, so that he can advance his plan to sell the 30 Acres estate.

The Longest Game

In 1986, a Limerick man called Terry Madigan came up with a plan to raise money for his local GAA club and community that everyone thought was crazy. Terry wanted to create a world record for the longest game of GAA football ever to be played. It would be 60 hours of football - non-stop on a full-sized pitch over a whole weekend. If this was going to work, it would need 14 brave men and the whole parish of Kilcornan to get involved. This is the story of that record attempt - the highs; the lows; the hallucinations - all set against the backdrop of a community of people bonded by the love of their parish and GAA. Narrated by Shauna McGreevy. Produced by Shauna McGreevy and Nicoline Greer (2026) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

30 Acres: 01 - 30 Acres Says No

Four-part mockumentary: Episode 1. December 2009. Colm is an investigative reporter for RTÉ, assigned to the story of an enormous ghost estate called 30 Acres. Only three inhabitants remain on this barren wasteland; Holly, Glenn and Iseult. Holly is an entrepreneur intent on re-launching her salon as an alternative tourist venture - the world’s first ghost estate tour. Glenn loves the freedom of life on the vacant estate, hunting otters in the moonlight. Iseult has finally found the seclusion she craves. But the developer of this unfinished housing project, Sean Granite, is bankrupt. A government-appointed liquidator, Alistair Crowe, is on the scene, with dastardly plans to evict Holly, Glenn and Iseult. It seems like their days on the 30 Acres estate are numbered. Or are they? Cast Barbara Bergin, (Iseult) Shane Casey (Glenn) John Colleary (Sean) Philippa Dunne (Pat) Barry Murphy (Alistair) Stefanie Preissner (Holly) Colm Tobin (Colm) Aidan O'Donovan (TV Presenter/Priest) Produced by Kevin Brew for Drama On One with Kevin Reynolds and Gorretti Slavin.
