## Resource

As Leinster eased into an 18 point lead with 12 minutes remaining in their Champions Cup semi final, everyone in the stadium could finally put that Northampton nightmare  behind them, right? We chat to Shane Horgan and Gerry Thornley about that late wobble and what caused it, how such a good team can also look so vulnerable, big Joe McCarthy saving the day, the blitz gamble, Leo's lecture to the media, Porter power, and the massive challenge posed by Bordeaux in the final. We also discuss power plays, Ulster finding happiness, and the Randle reverse review at Munster. Plus there's at swim two podcasters, the right runners and McDevitt's marathon wish. Hosted on Acast.
