Mick is back! On this week's show, the lads look at the new World Rugby rule trials (04:34)  and discuss whether they are really necessary. We also caught up with former Munster academy man Steven McMahon who is currently in his second year with Carcassonne (15:33). He was fascinating on Munster rugby, problems in France and developing players. 
Finally, the boys picked two potential bolters for the Ireland World Cup squad (35:11) and chatted Champions Cup quarter-finals (42:40).
