      <title>If You're Gonna Dream, Dream Big | The Leinster Love-in</title>
      <description>Leinster went to Galway without 17 internationals and came home 50-5 winners: seven tries, 15 line breaks to one, and 20 points from Joey Carbery.



Cian is joined by Simon, Avril and Joseph to work out how a side this young pulled it off: the intent, the blitz clicking with the third-choice defenders, Todd Lawlor's night, and which of the young lads is closest to an Ireland call. We also get into Carbery and Gunne's Ireland XV call-ups, Noel McNamara lined up as Leo Cullen's successor and what that means for the blitz after Nienaber, and Cian Healy back in the building.



Then on to Ireland v Argentina at the Aviva (Friday, 8.10pm) and Leinster's 17 in green: Prendergast or Frawley at 10, Henshaw or Osborne at 13, the fallout from Tadhg Furlong being cleared, and the panel's score predictions.

      <title>Up the Guts: Munster Review &amp; Connacht Preview | Leinster Love-in</title>
      <description>Down 13-5 at half-time, Leinster scored 19 unanswered points to beat Munster 24-18 with a bonus point. Now it's Galway on Friday without 17 internationals.



Cian is joined by Simon, Avril and Joseph to break down how the derby turned: Munster's first-half dominance at the breakdown, the carrying that wore them down, Gibson-Park's intercontinental passes, and Dan Sheehan's first start at No 8. We also get into Tadhg Furlong's citing and what a ban could mean for Ireland's tighthead options, and who Andy Farrell might call up from a Leinster squad with almost nobody left.



Then on to Connacht v Leinster at the Dexcom (Friday, 7.45pm, TG4 &amp; Premier Sports 1). Both sides are stripped of their Ireland players. Stuart Lancaster's Connacht are scoring for fun but conceding plenty, and Will Connors and Jerry Cahir face their old club. We scrape the cupboard to pick a Leinster team, and the panel gives their score predictions.



⏱️ CHAPTERS

00:00 Intro

00:35 Prediction check

02:19 How the Munster game turned

05:14 Up the guts: carries, scrum and attack

07:22 Sheehan, Gibson-Park and Carbery

12:49 Who's earned more minutes?

15:34 The O'Brien injuries and Ireland

18:16 The Furlong citing

28:18 Ireland call-up gaps

32:16 Hybrid players: Sheehan at 8, Furlong at 13?

35:02 Connacht preview

40:01 Where Connacht are still dangerous

42:03 Lancaster, Connors and Cahir

45:39 Picking Leinster's team

52:26 Score predictions

57:04 Outro

      <title>A Fairly Large Goat | Leinster Love-In</title>
      <description>Seven tries, a bonus point and top of the pool. Cian is joined by Simon, Avril and Joseph to look back at the 48–23 win in Clermont: an up-and-down first half, a pack that took Clermont apart, and Sam Prendergast’s second player-of-the-match award in a row. Plus the young guns and the old guard who stood up, and Joseph’s long-promised rant about Matthew Carley.



Then it’s Ireland. With Farrell naming his November squad, we go through the contenders from all four provinces: life without Doris, the race for the third 10 and the third 9, a centre group that’s all over 30, and the front-row gaps. Expect theories about Munster’s medical team along the way.



Finally, Munster come to the Aviva. Is it revenge for Croke Park? We look at the set-piece battle, Prendergast v O’Shea, Munster’s attack against the blitz, and who wins the back-row war, then make predictions anywhere from a 3-point thriller to a Donnybrook avocado shortage.

      <title>Svalbard or Bust | Leinster Love-In </title>
      <description>Five tries, a full house at the new RDS, and Leo still called it disjointed. Cian is joined by Simon, Avril and Joseph to look back at the 29–5 bonus-point win over Cardiff: the 38-minute drought, a lineout that’s starting to worry everyone, and Sam Prendergast’s player-of-the-match night. And yes, the hair coefficient has been calculated.



Then it’s the fifth star. Five final defeats in a row, a sweltering hammering in Bilbao, and six French winners on the trot. Is the game rigged? Should Leo’s last season go full John Woo on both fronts? And is it time to petition EPCR to hold the next final in Svalbard?



Finally, we head to the cauldron. It’s Leinster’s first trip to Clermont in 14 years, and we ask whether a losing bonus point would be good enough, pick our team, and make predictions that are suspiciously cautious for once.

      <itunes:summary>Five tries, a full house at the new RDS, and Leo still called it disjointed. Cian is joined by Simon, Avril and Joseph to look back at the 29–5 bonus-point win over Cardiff: the 38-minute drought, a lineout that’s starting to worry everyone, and Sam Prendergast’s player-of-the-match night. And yes, the hair coefficient has been calculated.



Then it’s the fifth star. Five final defeats in a row, a sweltering hammering in Bilbao, and six French winners on the trot. Is the game rigged? Should Leo’s last season go full John Woo on both fronts? And is it time to petition EPCR to hold the next final in Svalbard?



Finally, we head to the cauldron. It’s Leinster’s first trip to Clermont in 14 years, and we ask whether a losing bonus point would be good enough, pick our team, and make predictions that are suspiciously cautious for once.

      <title>The Hair Coefficient | The Leinster Love-in</title>
      <description>The South African tour is done: two games, two defeats, three points, and a few bright sparks. Cian is joined by Simon, Avril and Joseph to pick apart the 26–20 defeat to the Sharks in Durban, from du Toit's scrum masterclass to Etzebeth's dummy and a late Osborne try for a losing bonus point.We also ask whether Leinster's youth push is a choice or a necessity, with 22 senior players gone in three summers and the central contract "Leinster tax" biting. 

We look at what that means as Leinster-made players star for the other provinces, and whether anyone in blue has had a Charlie O'Shea moment yet.Then it's back home to the new Laya Arena (hedges intact) to preview Cardiff on Saturday. We pick the team and the captain, and make predictions we'll regret. And yes, Joseph has a theory about Sam Prendergast's hair.
