I'm joined by Tom Coleman to look ahead to Leinster's 25/26 campaign.
Ailbhe O'Nolan from the excellent Mudder Rucker pod joins me to look ahead to the upcoming Rugby World Cup over in England where you definitely don't want to be missing leg day...
This pod finally brings Harpin Season 6 to a close, we'll be taking a break from recording for a few weeks but if you follow our Substack we'll keep the weekly 80+ columns going every Wednesday.
