How concerned should Leinster be for Europe after Benetton defeat?
Monday, 27 April, 2026

Provincial action, women’s Six Nations and the business end of the AIL club season - this weekend had plenty. Gordon D’Arcy joins Nathan Johns to review it all. Is the battle for the URC top eight just going to come down to whoever has enough fit players? A week out from their European semi-final, what to make of Leinster’s upset defeat away to Benetton? Have Ireland shown enough progression to get close to France, or was Saturday night a bump back down to earth? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
