What is the preview for today’s Rugby Daily episode?
There's been difficulties between Russell and Gregor Townsend going back a little while. Catastrophic news for Scotland. I worked with Gregor since twenty twelve, he was a Glasgow coach then, so fourteen years you're obviously gonna have a one, two, however however many bust ups it is.
I think the f with the way that Finn has dealt with that is to his credit. He doesn't bear grudges, it's just it's been that's gone, move on to the next one. I'm Finn Russell and this is in our drive.

How serious is Munster’s out‑half injury crisis and who can step in?
Now coming up, the extent of Munster's injury crisis at Out Half becomes clearer and more concerning. Brian O'Driscoll on what he feels Ireland lacks at the minute. And James Tracy's big question as Joey Carberry returns to Leinster. First up today, Munster have confirmed that young Outhalf Tom Wood will be out of action until the new year at least. The Ireland under twenty star will require surgery on a shoulder injury picked up in a training game with the province a few weeks ago. He joins Jack Crowley on the list of long-term absentees. He's out of action until Christmas at the earliest. New signing Will Harris is also unavailable as he recovers from a long-standing knee issue which has flared up again.
What does Brian O’Driscoll say Ireland is missing right now?
The province are waiting to see if J.J. Hanrahan can come through the return to play protocols from a head. Head injury in that same training game that Wood picked up his shoulder knock. If he's not past fit, then Charlie O'Shea and Tony Butler are the out half options for their URC opener at home to the Glasgow Warriors on Saturday. New forwards coach Jimmy Duffy stresses they're not concerned about the mounting injuries before their first run out at Thoman Park. The Galway native also explained how he came to Clayton McMillan's backroom team after two years.
Obviously, you know, I d we had a plan and and uh Family comes first for me, obviously. So look, we were we decided we were coming home. Um and and thankfully Ulster were were were good enough to to to let me out of that.
What are James Tracy’s concerns about Joey Carbery’s role at Leinster?
Um So I look I was fully committed to not being involved in the game, uh, just to get closer to home and then then the call came through from from the lads here, Clayton and and and Ian, um, pretty quickly thereafter. And look, it was just one of those things happens. Um, not in desi nothing by design, but Um genuinely delighted to to still be involved in the game and and and delighted to be here.
Yeah, a very nice accident, I'd imagine, is it?
Ha just look at it. These things I would know. There's always plans, you know, but but but but the thing things happen in the meantime, you know, that you can't control and uh Look, I'm delighted I'm here. It's it's been fantastic. I've thoroughly enjoyed every every second. Um

For the second season in a row, Leinster begin their URC title defense down in South Africa.

Another player in that That squad is Joey Carberry, who moved back to Leinster from Bordeaux over the summer, and former Leinster and Ireland hooker James Tracy joined Cullum Buhig, Rachel Sheehan, and Dara Smith and Octon on off the ball breakfast this morning. He's hoping Carberry's role within the squad is well defined.
