An odd weekend of URC Rugby for the Provinces Connacht beat Ospreys but will they be regretting not getting that try bonus point. Munster lose to the Bulls but show enough that could give hope for the end of the season. Leinsters internationals find their groove vs Scarlets . While Ulster get an unconvincing TBP vs Zebre
This is a smug feeling Pod as Connacht are the only Irish team to win as the final run in of the URC season begins. An interpro win for Connacht over Ulster and Munster looked leggy in South Africa, and Leinster are still looking like a team that needs its internationals
The best 6 nations yet has come to an end with one of the best weekends of action. France have won the 2026 6 nations after a thriller in Paris, Ireland secure a triple crown with their best performance of the 6 nations so far. in the URC Connacht looked professional and composed as they win and keep their top 8 hopes alive
Under Friday night lights Ireland kicked off the guinness 6 nations rd 4 and did enough to get past Wales. Scotland just like beating teams in white in Murrayfield and put 50 on France, while Italy finally get that win over England playing no where near their best.
With the 6nations on a break week the URC roars back into focus. In Galway Connacht fight to the bitter end to pick up the win. In Limerick an error strewn Munster beat Zebre but will a lack of try bonus pint come back to haunt them? Leinster fail to get out of neutral in a monsoon in Cardiff, and Ulsters away form once again hurts them as they lose to Ospreys.
The Guinness 6 nations round 3 has come to an end. Ireland put a record breaking score on England. Wales find more fight but fall short vs Scotland, and Italy rue missed opportunities against France
Ireland struggle against a strong Italy side but get the job done, are England undercooked as Scotland win ANOTHER Calcutta cup, France play some great rugby while Wales look bereft of ideas
The 6 nations kicked off on a Thursday in Paris and France put on a hell of a show in while beating Ireland. Scotland faltered in a monsoon in Rome. and England won while pulling up to round out the weekend.
Padraig and Will talk through the Irish Provinces performances over an od weekend of rugby. Connacht play a 91 minute match, Munster have a tough time in Glasgow, Leinster have a team on the pitch, and Ulster aren't struggling but they're not excelling, and a look toward the first round of the 6 nations

The Lockdown interviews have been brilliant. Ciaran Gaffney one was particularly raw and thought Padraig handled it excellently
ppadraic comments that munster backs need to do more to progress in the knockout stages. These same backs scored all 41 points & consistently demonstrate the best kick-chase game in the competition!!!!
Interesting head to head contests in Thomond pk ahead of 6 nations.
