It is Champions Cup semi-final weekend, May bank holiday weekend.

And as you know, I'm sure it's Leinster, Toulon, Saturday, three o'clock at the Viva Stadium, somewhere between 30 and 35,000 expected.

And then on the Sunday, also at three o'clock, Bordeaux, favourites against Bath.

So how's it all going to transpire?

Well, we're about to find out.

Leinster and this Odyssey is currently at three finals in a row, 22, 23, 24, three losses, and then the less said the better about Northampton last year.

So 2026 is upon us.

Happy to say Rory O'Connor here in studio.

Roger, very welcome.

Hey, Joe.

Ian Madigan with us.

Hey, Ian.

No, great to have you with us.

Ulster, of course, also in European action this weekend.

They are hosting Exeter on Saturday, half past five, straight after the Leinster game.

Our rugby coverage is sponsored by Energia, who proudly support the women's game in Ireland.

Still two big games to come in the Six Nations, Rennes 4 and 5 at home.

Ireland have Wales first off in Belfast, and then May 17th,

The Aviva Stadium against Scotland.

So they should be two great occasions if you're near Belfast or near Dublin.
