RTÉ Rugby podcast: Emerging Ireland doubts, and the URC returns

In episode 1 of the new RTÉ Rugby podcast season, Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Fiona Hayes as they run the microscope over all four Irish provinces for the new campaign.

The panel also scrutinise the upcoming Emerging Ireland tour of South Africa, and ask whether or not it's a good idea for the IRFU to disrupt the provincial teams so early in the season.
