RTÉ Rugby podcast: Form means nothing as URC and WXV throw up seismic shocks

Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Jonny Holland to recap a busy weekend in the URC.

We look back on Connacht's dramatic comeback win against the Sharks (4:55), as Pete Wilkins’ side came from 27-7 behind to secure a bonus-point 36-30 victory.

The panel put the microscope over Munster’s porous defence (17:30) after they fell to a shock 42-33 loss away to Zebre, while we also discuss Ulster’s battling 35-22 defeat to the Lions in Johannesburg (27:35).

Bernard and Jonny also look at Leinster’s scrappy 34-6 win against the Dragons (36:10), and discuss rumours of a French club looking to sign Jack Conan.

Later (44:40), former Ireland international Hannah O'Connor reacts to Ireland's incredible win against New Zealand in the WXV.
