Episode Notes
The Prem rugby semi-final line-up is confirmed: Northampton hosts rivals Leicester and Bath play Exeter.
Alfie Reynolds, Alex Lowe and Charlie Morgan preview the semi-finals and ask is this the hardest season to predict who will make the final?
Could an away side get a rare victory?
They also discuss the teams near the bottom of the league. Who had the most disappointing campaign? And who has reasons to be optimistic?
Plus, Andy Farrell has signed a contract extension to remain Ireland head coach until 2031. How big a blow is that to England and the RFU? And what does it say about the appeal of the England head coach job?
