Overjoyed to have my first Leinster and Ireland superstar on the show, Devin Toner!

Four European Championships, seven Pro 14 titles, three Six nations victories and a Grand Slam the stalwart back row has seen and done it all! From lineout masterclasses to tightly contested scrums Devin's influence has been essential to Leinster and Ireland.

After a remarkable career and amassing an astonishing 70 caps for Ireland and a staggering 280 for Leinster Devin now supports rugby players and fans alike in the world of finance.

Massive thanks to Devin for taking time out of his day for me and all the best!

In today's episode of TQL Rugby podcast I was delighted to be joined by Guinness Rugby Club prop and the host of @TheLeinsterListen Mick Linnane!

Mick's podcast is one after my own heart. The Leinster Listen shares the best and positive things about Leinster, Ireland and rugby in general and the man helps shine a light on the reasons we love Leinster and the game overall.

We discuss Leinster, the season, Leo Cullen's departure and potential successors, stand out moments and enjoyed the craic!

This morning I was thrilled to be able to speak to Irish Journalist, Sportswriter & Producer, Author and Playwright; Pat McCarry!

Podcasts, press conferences, post and pre matches as well as writing and directing a rugby stage play, in which he honours the life of Munster legend Anthony Foley, there is nobody more passionate about Irish rugby than Pat McCarry!

Pat has been integral to my rugby writing journey, offering advice, help and information for a number of years now so to be able to get him onto my own Podcast is very special for me!

Pat's love of the game and story went far beyond the allocated Zoom call so apologies for the ending 🤣 hopefully we can do it all again soon!

You can follow Pat McCarry on all social media platforms and Substack, search for @patrickmccarry9489 or Dirt Trackers rugby on Instagram and X. Thanks again Pat and speak to you soon!

In this week's video I break down Andy Farrell's Ireland selection, from individual player analysis and opinion to a throwback to when Japan got the better of Ireland during the 2019 World Cup!

Four lucky debutants take to the field for this game: Connacht's Sam Illo, Billy Bohan and Sean Jansen who makes his test start at eight, alongside Ulster's Bryn Ward who will undoubtably make his debut of the bench!

Squad rotation, fly-half debate and predictions covered, as well as a look at the other remaining fixtures in The Nations Championship 👍
