This is the 5000th post on HarpinOnRugby.net, and it falls on the site's 11th birthday. Wouldn't it be amazing if I could honestly say I planned it that way???? 🤔😜
On this week's pod we talk to our most prolific Harpin contributor about both Leinster and Ireland’s chances over the coming months plus the possibility of expanding the amount of teams at the Rugby World Cup. Then I do some 80-word reviews on last weekend’s test matches and a controversial try from one of them provides me with my topic for this week’s Harpin Point.
