This week on The Knock On, KCLR Sport’s weekly rugby podcast, Stephen Byrne is joined by Tom Crotty of Carlow Rugby Club, James Blanchfield from Kilkenny RFC, and Paddy Browne of Tullow RFC to break down all the latest action from across the local rugby scene.
This week on the pod, we are diving into one of the busiest windows in Leinster rugby.
We break down Tullow 1st XV’s high-stakes trip to Newbridge this Saturday—a must-win play-off against DLSP to keep their Division 1A status alive.
