Brothers Daragh (@DaraghFaughnan) and Shane (@ShaneMayMusic) discuss all things rugby through the lens of Leinster and Ireland.. It’s ORP 110! As the International footy returns, so do we! This week’s show is our curtain raiser for the Autumn Internationals/Spring Tours for 2021. We start by looking back on last weekend’s action, as the Wallabies managed to win out over a gutsy and thoroughly capable Japan side while the All Blacks put on a ruthless clinic against the outmatched and totally shell shocked USA Eagles in Washington D.C. Following the reviews we look ahead to this week’s fixtures; Scotland will host Tonga and Six Nations champions Wales will prepare to welcome the Rugby Championship champions - the mighty All Blacks to Cardiff. We also look at the RWC Qualifiers, Spain will face Italy A this weekend as preparation for some key Rugby Europe clashes that will happen during this Test window. Uruguay have booked their spot in France by defeating the USA, while Chile dumped Canada out of the qualifying race for the first time. Next we discuss the Women’s game as there are some great fixtures forthcoming there too. This week will see the England Women host the Black Ferns of New Zealand and USA Women facing their Canadian rivals. Also, the World Rugby America’s Rugby Pacific Challenge 2021 has been ongoing in Montevideo. Club rugby next, we look at how things stand in the URC as the competition goes on ice for a few weeks before rounding up the action from the Top 14, Premiership and the Rugby Europe Super Cup.
