RTÉ Rugby podcast: Rory Lawson on Scotland v Ireland, plus big URC week for the provinces

Neil Treacy and Bernard Jackman are joined on this week's pod by Rory Lawson (from 14:50) to look ahead to this Sunday's Six Nations meeting between the Scots and Ireland at Murrayfield.

The former Scotland scrum-half explains how Gregor Townsend has turned around Scotland's fortunes in the last 12 months, while he and Jackman break down where Scotland could trouble Andy Farrell's side.

We also recap a big weekend for the Irish provinces in the URC, with four wins out of four, while Munster and Connacht's weekend was boosted by a couple of important results down in South Africa.
