    Will, Luke and Cian assemble to look ahead to the first European knockout weekend with Leinster starting their Champions Cup assault while the rest of the provinces prepare for Challenge Cup action. The lads pick through last weekend's URC action, with Leinster's poor first 30 minutes catching the eye. Jack Crowley's impressive performance vs the Bulls is a talking point, although his issues off the tee are still visible. The Left Wing podcast is sponsored by Energia.
