A good week to be an out-half, scrum issues aplenty, Sheehan and Djougang interviews | RTÉ Rugby pod

Charlie O'Shea's Thomond Park performance gives Neil Treacy and former Munster wing Johne Murphy plenty to discuss in RTÉ Sport's most watched new upload. The rugby podcast pairs promising Irish out-halves with a less comfortable subject: what is happening at the scrum?

"A good week to be an out-half, scrum issues aplenty, Sheehan and Djougang interviews | RTÉ Rugby pod" has drawn about 10,000 views. Alongside O'Shea, the episode considers Ciarán Frawley's two-try Connacht debut, then brings in Ireland players Dan Sheehan and Linda Djougang. In the comments, Munster's scrum gets particular attention, with viewers discussing its personnel and whether the province's depth has improved.

The next rugby episode is already the channel's busiest video by daily views. Treacy is joined by Ian Keatley and Tom Daly to consider Sam Prendergast's form and a wonderfully specific rules question: has it become too easy to score from a maul?

Soccer provides the other active threads. Denise O'Sullivan discusses why her Liverpool move didn't work out ahead of Ireland's World Cup play-off against Kazakhstan. The newest soccer podcast combines Shamrock Rovers' derby win with cup-final places for Waterford and Derry City. Meanwhile, Neil McManus joins Cathal Mullaney to ask how hurling can spread beyond its traditional strongholds.

RTÉ Sport's subscribers stayed unchanged across the week, and its daily views are close to their usual level. There is no audience surge here, just a substantial menu of Irish sport, with the newest rugby and soccer podcasts supplying much of the current activity.

What viewers say

Munster scrum has been rock solid. Bulls got no go forward which is some going. Van der Merwe and Brooks have made a mighty difference. Brooks for RWC call up at 36??? 😅
