A major England star is leaving Harlequins with a move to the controversial R360 League of Live possibility.

And could Wrestling 92 be hit with a points deduction ahead of next season's top 14?

First up today, Leinster are sweating over the fitness of a number of key players in key positions ahead of their URC semi-final against the Stormers this Saturday.

Joe McCarthy and Dan Sheehan came off with knocks in the second half of their quarter-final win over the Lions last weekend.

Ronan Kelleher is also a doubt for the weekend, so that could leave head coach Leo Cullen without two first-choice hookers, while second-rower McCarthy is another unwelcome concern with Arche Sneeman already missing the final run-in due to an ACL injury.

Add to that further doubts over the availability of Tommy O'Brien, Gary Ringrose, Tyke Furlong and Jordan Larmer for the weekend's game.

Senior coach Jacques Nienaber told Dara Smith-Nocton earlier this week it's not uncharted territory for them in this campaign.

A lot less combative with Dara than he was with written press on Monday, so the former Springboks coach suggested he may not fulfil the final season of his contract with Leinster because he does not feel valued.

In particular, he took Irish independent rugby writer Rory O'Connor to task over criticism of his defensive strategy and hinted that media and fan complaints ultimately cost coaches their job.

Former Leinster head coach Matt Williams joined Owen Shahan on last night's off the ball.

He feels characterising the Irish rugby media as wholly critical is not accurate.

Williams also offered some food for thought on Leinster's most recent Investec Champions Cup final disappointment.

He explained why the province are a unicorn in regards to the top end of club rugby.

And you can hear the full thoughts of Matt Williams once you're done here.

You've also got the conclusion to the URC playoffs to look forward to, as well as Ireland's massive July tests against Australia, Japan and New Zealand.
