In this review of our first European Champions Cup pool game of the season, against the Harlequins, we break down how it all actually played out on the pitch. I don't think anyone expected the FT score

🟦 Match Analysis — A straight look at the key moments, momentum swings, and where the game was won and lost.

💢 Injury Updates — Who’s banged up, who’s hopefully back soon, and what it means for the weeks ahead.

📊 Pool Standings — Our position after Round 1 and how the landscape is shaping up already.

⏱️ The 5-Second “USE IT” Rule — A quick chat about the law, its inconsistency, and why it drives every supporter half-mad.

A clean, honest review of a big European opener — nothing more complicated than that.

In this preview we look at our upcoming first European Champions Cup game against the Harlequins. I discuss our lineup, the Quins' potential lineup and talk about what we are to expect from our game on Saturday

I also discuss the Rugby World Cup 2027 draw and detail our Best and Worst case scenario for getting to the final (or at the very least breaking our Quarter Final curse)

In this review instalment of The Leinster Listen, we walk through the Dragons match score by score, covering the key moments, big swings, and everything that actually mattered on the night. There’s a hard look at the discipline issues — the penalties we coughed up, the sloppy patches, and the dangerous plays that nearly handed them momentum.

And of course, we dig into that Scott Penny tackle and the referee’s call that’s had everyone talking since full-time. Clear decision or woeful take? I give my opinion.

Episode 1 - In this first episode of The Leinster Listen, I lay out how the podcast is going to roll each week before diving into the rugby itself. We take a quick look back at the last game, size up the Dragons ahead of the trip to Rodney Parade, run through the Leinster lineup, and I give my score prediction for the weekend.

There’s also a chat about the RDS’ new title — The Laya Arena. A fresh start or a sponsor-led fever dream? You can tell me yourself: are you calling it the Laya Arena, or are we all sticking with the RDS out of pure stubbornness?
