Second Captains 14/01 - Heineken Cup glory, heavyweight president, platinum package

Leinster, Munster and Ulster are all shaping up well in the Heineken Cup, but have they progressed, and which one of the three is best equipped to go the whole way from here? The Irish Times’ Gerry Thornley and 2-time Heineken Cup winner Shane Horgan cast an optimistic look ahead to Round 6 of the pool stages… and the quarter-finals. Vitali Klitschko was one of the most dominant world heavyweight champions of the last 20 years… and now he’s running for the Presidency of Ukraine, which stands at a hugely important political cross-roads. We hear from Kiev if he’s a creditable candidate, or a puppet for forces behind the scenes. Plus we discuss the debilitating effects of the Platinum Package, Murph's shame, rough and smooth, and pint-sized Vladimir Putin.
