About this episode

It's opening weekend of the new Champions Cup season and there are some big talking points around team selection with, in particular, Harry Byrne being named at outhalf for Leinster's game away to defending champions La Rochelle on Sunday. It is Byrne's first Champions Cup start while Ciaran Frawley has been named on the bench. Rúaidhrí O'Connor and Cian Tracey join Sinéad Kissane on the latest Left Wing to discuss the teams announced by Leinster, Munster, Ulster and Connacht ahead of their games this weekend and which of the provinces can start the season with wins.
