It could be a historic year for Rob & co

Leinster's impressive 30-12 win against Toulouse over the Easter weekend has set them up nicely for the chance to win a fifth gold star on their jersey come May 11th.

All that stands between them and that record-breaking five Champions Cup titles is the formidable London side Saracens.

Speaking on Today FM's Dermot and Dave, Leinster fullback Rob Kearney says that 'Sarries' are, "probably the form team in Europe this season", so he knows they won't have it as cushy as they did against the southern French team in the semi-final.

Another possibility, dare I say it, is Ireland winning the Rugby World Cup in Japan in 5 months time.

A fews years back, this notion would be totally inconceivable - I mean people would laugh in your face if you even hinted at the chances, but now, despite a ropey Six Nations tournament, it could just happen.

Kearney's a big believer in the squad's ability;

I think the Irish team are going over to Japan with very high hopes of doing something that has never been done before

The 33-year-old also answers some of our listener's questions  and reveals what boyband's music Johnny Sexton loves to belt out whilst in the shower. And we were just as surprised as you will be!
