RTÉ Rugby podcast: Munster survive, Leinster labour and a Sevens shutdown
Neil Treacy is joined by former Ireland head coach Eddie O'Sullivan, as we recap the final round of regular season games in the URC, and look ahead at the play-offs. First up, we look at how Munster are shaping up for the quarter-finals after their 30-21 win against Benetton secured them a spot in the Champions Cup next season. We look at Leinster's prospects in the coming weeks, after they laboured to a 13-5 win against Glasgow Warriors, who they could yet meet again in a semi-final (24:40). The podcast discusses what lies ahead for both Ulster (38:00) and Connacht (44:15), after they missed out on the play-offs. And we also discuss the fallout from the decision to disband the Irish men's Sevens team (51:40).

RTÉ Rugby podcast: Munster's season on the line, Ulster and Connacht out ahead of URC final round
Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Jonny Holland to break down the big news of the week, as we reach the final regular season round of the United Rugby Championship. We discuss how it's been a humbling season for the Irish provinces, with at least two sides - Ulster and Connacht - missing out on Champions Cup rugby. After Leinster's hammering of Zebre, the panel ask whether winning the URC will make up for their Champions Cup failure (17:55), and discuss the loss of Caelan Doris, as well as the Lions call-up for James Ryan (27:21). We analyse Munster's 38-20 win against Ulster (33:15), which sets them up for one more must-win game against Benetton on Friday, as well as chatting about a night to remember for Peter O'Mahony last week (36:30). And we look at how Ulster and Connacht's seasons have fizzled out, and what the future holds for the two provinces (46:40).
