Murray Kinsella, Gavan Casey and Ciarán Kennedy set the scene with a preview show that kicks off the rugby weekend.

    Leinster sell out Croker, last word on Barrett, and listeners crack central contract code

    Leinster sell out Croker, last word on Barrett, and listeners crack central contract code

    Murray and Gav put a lid on a Leinstertaining week and look ahead to the four provinces’ URC clashes this weekend — all of which are important.

    As the dust settles on Jordie Barrett’s move to Leinster, infamous provocateur Murray also fields questions on Munster’s 2021 signing of Jason Jenkins — his thoughts on which continue to annoy some people three years later.

    Plus, it turns out some of our listeners were ahead of the curve when it comes to making the IRFU’s central contract system at least slightly more palatable for Connacht, Ulster and Munster.

    On this week's Rugby Extra for The 42 subscribers, we bid farewell to our colleague of almost five years, Eoin Toolan, who has joined Joe Schmidt's Australia coaching ticket. Eoin talked Gavan Casey through his new role and what he believes Schmidt will bring to Australian rugby union.

    Also, Bernard Jackman gave his thoughts on Connacht after their heavy home defeat to the Lions. They were, eh, not kind.

I love this podcast!

Top class podcast! The contributors use clear language that means us non-rugby players can understand what’s being said. I look forward to my Friday morning walks to bring them along.

Love it, love it, love it.

Generally ok but forget it behind a paywall

I understand they are going behind a paywall. I used to listen to Newstalk golf podcast with spawells Damian McGrane (?) etc but then they went to acast? And behind a €3.99 paywall. Forget it. These subscriptions at €50 per year are poor value compared to Spotify and Netflix. Goodbye Newstalk golf ( who wants to listen to Troy Merritt) and Murray. You guys clearly (for me) do not understand price elasticity Of demand and your show is not worth adding to increasing subscription gouging on our limited $$$$.

Hugely Munster-centric. Will probably unsubscribe soon as most content going to paid membership only.
