Ex-Leinster, Ireland, and Leicester backrow, Shane Jennings, collaborates with host Nathan Johns and Gordon D’Arcy. The deep-rooted connection between Leinster and Leicester, who compete in the upcoming Champions Cup this weekend, is notable. Back in 2005, both Jennings and the current Leo Cullen, the present coach of Leinster, spent two years at the English club. They then came back to significantly influence a culture change that transitioned the province from regular underperformers to European victors.
In addition, this edition of The Counter Ruck includes a breakdown of the Ireland women’s loss to Italy in the Six Nations by John O’Sullivan.
The programme is the production of John Casey.
