The view from La Rochelle, Murray's microscopic preview, and Munster positives

Murray Kinsella and Gavan Casey are joined by French journalist Benjamin Deudon, who covers La Rochelle for the Sud Ouest newspaper. Benjamin gives us his impressions of a below-par and disjointed season for Les Rochelais, the view on Ronan O'Gara from within the city and outside of it, and the keys to a La Rochelle victory in Saturday's quarter-final against Leinster.

Murray then covers every blade of grass and picks a winner for Saturday's fifth instalment of the rivalry.

The lads also discuss how Munster's defeat to Northampton was due to areas of under-performance as well as the large caveats of injury and illness, but why there remains plenty of cause for optimism as the southern province attempt to defend their URC crown.
