RTÉ Rugby Podcast · Leinster go back to back and who will replace Leo Cullen in 2027? · 24 Jun 2026 podcast

And as far as Leinster, I thought Leinster scrummaged well.

It's very hard now.

It's very hard unless you're put in and you have a referee who respects the scrum.

I think you look at some of those decisions...

Not just weekend, but in general.

If it collapses, they want it to play away.

Unless it's unbelievably dominant, you don't get any reward.

And often, unless you show real dominance very early, then that can continue.

But if not, it takes 50 minutes like it did the weekend for the Bulls to kind of show that they had the power.

But Leinster's scrum was better than probably we expected.

And credit to...

Usunov and Jerry Kerr but also I think selection wise picking Furlong and picking Keller to start was a good selection for this game even though obviously Clarkson's been starting ahead of Teague for the big games recently yeah it really wasn't a factor at all in the game which is what Leinster would be delighted with I might move it on to talk about Leo Cullen rather than the game itself because

Yeah, without a doubt.

He's part of the furniture there since the start of pro rugby.

Bardo's two years in Leicester and obviously came back and led Leicester to the first European Cup as captain.

It's a long time, 12 years as a head coach is an incredibly long stint and credit to his resilience and his ability to stay fresh because...

Dealing with the press every week is just one of the parts of the job.

It's pretty easy.

It's just one of the parts of the job.

But yeah, it's unusual for a coach to play out like this where he flags that he's not going to renew his contract.
