Ben Healy's departure unfortunate but not a 'mistake', and does hyping young players like Prendergast even matter?

Murray Kinsella, Bernard Jackman and Gavan Casey delve into Round 18 of the URC and how the provinces are shaping up for their respective knockout-rugby runs.

The lads discuss how Munster totally subverted their expectations in South Africa, and why the impending departure of the in-form Ben Healy -- who should arguably start at out-half in Munster's quarter-final -- shouldn't be considered a mistake by either party.

They look ahead to Leinster's Champions Cup semi-final with Toulouse, and the extent to which Saturday's heavy defeat to the Bulls needs to be examined.

Plus: Are we wrong to 'hype' young talents like Sam Prendergast, and is he even really exposed to the hype that so many rugby fans fear?

Murray and Berch examine how Connacht have transformed their season -- and the conversations around them -- as they prepare for a trip to Ravenhill in the quarters.Ulster, too, recovered well from a mid-season blip, albeit our analysts remain unconvinced by their recent performances.

Plus, Ireland suffered another heavy defeat in the Women's Six Nations which shouldn't be sugarcoated, but there were tangible improvements to their performance which shouldn't be ignored.
