Noel McNamara will join Leinster as head coach from next season, bringing a 12 year era under Leo Cullen to a close.
On today’s podcast, Nathan Johns asks John O’Sullivan and Gordan D’Arcy what they might expect, and the challenges facing McNamara when he arrives.
The revelation in John’s Irish Times feature that Ronan O’Gara didn’t receive a call about the job has caused some intrigue, but is it surprising?
And the weekend’s provincial action gives each province a lot to think about heading into the Nations Championship internationals.
Presented by Nathan Johns. Produced by Andrew McNair.
