WRAP OF A WRAP
Probably my top line opinion of Leinster’s match against Zebre last Saturday was that after what had gone down at Croker a week earlier, there was literally no result we could achieve that would satisfy the fans or even make the match close to being memorable. This was a genuinely held opinion on my part, in fact even though we put over 70 points on them back in May at the same venue, I had forgotten that fact myself, mostly because that too came just one week after a major disappointment.
That’s all well and good, but I doubt it’s the best subject to lead with when promoting a podcast that is entirely about Leinster’s win at the weekend! So I don’t actually mention that until about 5 minutes into the pod and to be fair, David Cordial did an excellent job both finding and highlighting some interesting harping points from the match.
ICYMI you can check out the pod here.
PALESTINE RUGBY

It’s not often I include a pod in my Front Five, even less often I give any kind of a plug to Off The Boil, but I reckon a story about an Irish coach helping Palestinians playing rugby is more than worthy of inclusion.
