The Weekly Maul: JOE’s Rugby Podcast (Part One)

In this week's maul, Malcolm, Johnny and Rob discuss the weekend's Heineken Cup action, Paul O'Connell's red card, Brendan Venter's madness and Limerick sensations the Rubberbandits.

The Weekly Maul has arrived a day later this week, thanks to Rob being stranded in London until late on Monday evening following the Connacht v Harlequins game. Rob says it was fog that caused the delay, but having played in the game, Johnny managed to get home on time so we’re a tad suspicious of Rob’s excuses.

In any case the show must go on, and it did in some style this week as the lads got down to business discussing the major issues in the rugby world at the moment.

In Part One, the lads discuss Brendan Venter’s madness, Munster’s Heineken Cup clash with the Ospreys and Paul O’Connell’s red card. Last weekend’s meeting between Leinster and Clermont Auvergne is also brought up, while Malcolm tries to flog some corporate packages to Leinster ‘A’ v Cornwall Pirates to a reluctant Johnny and Rob.
