Episode 25: Inter-Stellar

Season 4 is here — and we're kicking it off with a collab. Caolán Scully of the Inter-Pro Show joins Ailbhe and Cian for the first ever MudderRucker x Inter-Pro Show episode, as the Women's Interprovincial Championship gets underway. Caolán is deputising for Chloe Pearse. He arrived in a red shirt and claimed to be neutral. We'll let you decide. Munster put on a clinic against Leinster — 12 of their 23 from UL Bohemians, a system that just keeps producing. Connacht edged Ulster in the other game, and we get into what it all means for the provinces heading into a competition that finally feels like it has a purpose, perfectly timed before WXV. We also get into the international players back in provincial colours for the first time, Grace Moore putting herself in the shop window, and Ailbhe makes a very bold claim about the future of the Irish 10 shirt. Eilish Cahill is mentioned. Obviously. All games are live on TG4's YouTube channel — go watch.
