The future of Ospreys and Welsh rugby, Bohan's big Six Nations call

Neil Treacy and Bernard Jackman are joined on this week's RTÉ Rugby podcast by journalist Simon Thomas, as we take a deep dive into the latest controversy in Welsh rugby. Simon, one of the most respected rugby writers in Wales, brings us up to speed on the WRU's plans to reduce their professional programme from four teams to three, with the Ospreys looking most likely to be disbanded after their current owners were revealed to be the preferred bidders to take over Cardiff. As well as looking at what this means for the Ospreys in the immediate future, we also find out how it has come to this, and the wider implications in both Welsh rugby and the URC. Later in the podcast (31:50), we react to the latest injury setback for Ireland ahead of the Six Nations, with Jack Boyle ruled out with an achilles injury, and Connacht's 20-year-old loosehead Billy Bohan called up. And we also discuss the concerns Ireland head coach Andy Farrell will have around his players' relationships with referees, who appear to be losing patience with the amount of backchat in games.

Bernard Jackman's 6 Nations squad reaction, Dan Sheehan interview

Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman on this week's RTÉ Rugby podcast as we give our instant reaction to the Ireland squad for the opening rounds of the Guinness Six Nations. We look through all of the big calls made by head coach Andy Farrell, including the call-ups for uncapped pair Edwin Edogbo and Nathan Doak. With injury ruling out a number of players, including Andrew Porter and Robbie Henshaw, we discuss the opportunity ahead for some players who are back in the squad after time away, including Harry Byrne, Rob Baloucoune and Tom Stewart. Neil and Bernard examine Munster's shock exit from the Investec Champions Cup, and look ahead to this weekend's big Interpro between Connacht and Leinster. Also this week, Neil is joined by Ireland and Leinster hooker Dan Sheehan (49:55) to get his perspective ahead of the 2026 Six Nations. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Savea's silly season rumour and prop stocks take a hit

Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Jonny Holland on this week's RTÉ Rugby podcast, where there is a packed schedule of transfer news and Champions Cup action to get through. We discuss the reports from New Zealand this morning which are suggesting Ardie Savea could be the latest All Blacks star to make a move to Leinster, although Bernard isn't convinced it's more than a wild rumour. The podcast also breaks down where Joey Carbery fits with Leinster, as the Ireland international looks set to return to his home province next season. Bernard and Jonny look through the options at loosehead prop for Ireland in the upcoming Six Nations, as injuries to Andrew Porter and Paddy McCarthy create a blend of crisis and opportunity for head coach Andy Farrell. We run through Leinster and Munster's Investec Champions Cup games last weekend, with Leinster defeating La Rochelle and Munster coming up just short away to Toulon, with poor discipline a running theme through both of those games. And we discuss the legacy that Jean Kleyn leaves in both Munster and Irish rugby, with the South African lock departing for Gloucester at the end of the season.

Munster and Leinster set to turn it up to 10 at Croke Park as Ulster let loose on Bulls

Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Jonny Holland on this week's RTE Rugby podcast to discuss the major news of the week in Irish Rugby. The panel looks ahead to the first big Interpro of the season in the BKT United Rugby Championship, as Leinster host Munster at Croke Park on Saturday evening. We break down wins for both sides at the weekend, and look at where Munster need to get things right if they're to end their four-game losing run in this fixture. The podcast also cover the highly anticipated first head-to-head meeting of Sam Prendergast and Jack Crowley (28:50), and ask how much stock Ireland head coach Andy Farrell will be placing on it. Bernard and Jonny discuss how Ulster clicked in their impressive 28-7 win against the Bulls (38:45), and debate whether or not Jacob Stockdale could make a claim for the Ireland 15 jersey this November. And we also break down where things went wrong for Connacht as they fell to a disappointing 14-8 loss away to Cardiff (48:00). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
