Overjoyed to have my first Leinster and Ireland superstar on the show, Devin Toner!

Four European Championships, seven Pro 14 titles, three Six nations victories and a Grand Slam the stalwart back row has seen and done it all! From lineout masterclasses to tightly contested scrums Devin's influence has been essential to Leinster and Ireland.

After a remarkable career and amassing an astonishing 70 caps for Ireland and a staggering 280 for Leinster Devin now supports rugby players and fans alike in the world of finance.

Massive thanks to Devin for taking time out of his day for me and all the best!

In today's episode of TQL Rugby podcast I was delighted to be joined by Guinness Rugby Club prop and the host of @TheLeinsterListen Mick Linnane!

Mick's podcast is one after my own heart. The Leinster Listen shares the best and positive things about Leinster, Ireland and rugby in general and the man helps shine a light on the reasons we love Leinster and the game overall.

We discuss Leinster, the season, Leo Cullen's departure and potential successors, stand out moments and enjoyed the craic!
