[upbeat music] Hello. Welcome along to the Counter Rugby Podcast, brought to you by The Irish Times, in partnership with Oak Energy. Nathan Johns here, and Gordon Darcy is going to join me very shortly, as usual, at the beginning of the week, to review all the weekend's rugby action. Lots and lots going on. Munster beat Ulster down in Limerick. Leicester losing with a last-minute kick over in Italy against Benetton. Connacht succumbing to the Lions in Joburg after the high of their victory in Cape Town last week. Ireland women lost to France in what was their World Cup grudge match over in the Six Nations. Meanwhile, club rugby had its weekend in the sun. Plenty of finals and promotion and relegation playoffs going on. The headlines, Mary's winning the men's 1A title, UL Bo's winning the women's equivalent. UCD staying up as well. They beat Trinity in a playoff as well for top tier status. So look, as we said, lots going on. Here's Gordon Darcy. Hi, Darce.
