Murray and Gav put a lid on a Leinstertaining week and look ahead to the four provinces’ URC clashes this weekend — all of which are important. As the dust settles on Jordie Barrett’s move to Leinster, infamous provocateur Murray also fields questions on Munster’s 2021 signing of Jason Jenkins — his thoughts on which continue to annoy some people three years later. Plus, it turns out some of our listeners were ahead of the curve when it comes to making the IRFU’s central contract system at least slightly more palatable for Connacht, Ulster and Munster.
