As the Rugby World Cup draws to a close, we turn our attention on House of Rugby to the URC and the provinces.Máire Treasa Ní Dhubhghaill is joined in studio by James Downey and Pat McCarry to look back on an exciting weekend of URC rugby with wins for Connacht, Munster and Leinster. The look at Connacht's great start to the season, with three wins from three. BUT can they sustain that on the road now? They've three away fixtures coming on the trot. Munster's young-guns got the job done against the Dragons, and some of them could be impressing enough to keep their place. The lads look at the impressive output from some of their academy stars. Plus, Jacques Nienaber will soon start with Leinster. What will the World Cup winning coach bring to the set-up and could he be the magic ingredient missing in tight European games? All that, plus a look at some changes at the high-performance level in the IRFU.
