Episode Notes
Alex and Will are in Bilbao to reflect on the Champions Cup final!
Bordeaux have won back-to-back titles to join the elite sides in European Club rugby. What makes them so special? It is now 6 years in a row that a French club have been crowned Champions of Europe, how can anyone catch them?
What does this defeat mean for Leinster? Their 5th Champions Cup final defeat in a row and is this one the most damaging of the lot?
Plus, do EPCR need to do more 'destination' cities for their finals? And will we see a World Cup in Spain!?
