I think it’s better defined as “It’s very difficult to get selected when you’re playing grand/OK-ish in a middling/poor team”.

Leinster need to get their head out their collective ass and stop thinking about Northampton and Lions. Will be another semi-final defeat if they play like that next week.

Yes that’s the one! Wrong semi-final defeat 😭

Incredible defiance from Saints to be in with a shout in the last ten. Pollock’s little jersey tug recalled Dan Leavy’s stray hold against Toulon in 2015. UBB deserved winners. Wild wild game. Fair play to the ref.

Fin Smith DG winner coming.

This game is so crazily fast it’s pretty much all being reffed via replay.

Feels like there could be 70 points in this game!

Terrible kit match up here.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, no Molecast this week.

We will be back next week with reflections on the ICC Final and a bursting Molebag full of listener questions. 🏉 🎙️ 📱

Took me a while but I finally summed up the courage to listen to this and it's very good, as usual. Lord knows doing even a high level rewatch nearly killed me, so god bless these gluttons for punishment for going so forensically into what went wrong - and what Saints did right. .
