Summary

Munster sent shockwaves through Irish rugby with a statement win over Leinster at Croke Park, dismantling their biggest rivals to go joint top of the URC. Is it a shift in power, or a Lions hangover? Goodey, Big Jim and Biggs get stuck into the fallout from that fiery clash, the form of Jack Crowley, and what it all means for Andy Farrell’s Ireland squad heading into the Autumn Nations Series. The lads also dig deep into Steve Borthwick’s England squad announcement, including omissions, combinations, and some exciting star power coming through. We also wrap up all the weekend’s domestic action, from Noah Caluori’s five-try explosion for Saracens to Leicester’s last-gasp win over Bath, and all the biggest talking points from the Prem and URC.

0:42.3	contract at the Sharks and then took someone's head off. So we'll be going through all of this
0:46.3	and more. Yes, sir. And if that isn't enough to get the juices flowing, we'll also be looking
0:50.8	at the Irish and English Autumn Nation squad and asking if they're strong enough to take on the might
0:56.9	of the battle-hardened spring.
0:59.3	No, we're not talking about the spring,
