Episode Notes
The lads are back in studio covering all the latest from URC and Prem, as well as a proper grassroots story, joined by Harlequins and England legend Nick Easter and Chinnor stalwart Alun Walker. The lads get stuck into the Champ’s underdog rise, what life’s really like in the second tier, and the big debate around ring-fencing the Prem and whether promotion and relegation has a place in English rugby. There’s plenty to get into from the weekend too with the Stormers putting Glasgow to the sword, Leinster’s aura taking a hit after a loss to Benetton, and lots going on at the top of the Premiership with the top four race blown wide open. Add in Lions tour rumours to France, some big injuries, and lots more. Get stuck in.
