Schalk Burger, Jean de Villiers, and Hanyani Shimange (host) — break down one of the most controversial Easter weekends in recent Champions Cup history. Was the referee's decision the reason the Stormers went home early? We unpack the Stormers maul, yellow card, TMO failure, and what World Rugby needs to fix urgently.
Plus — the Bulls' near-miss in Glasgow, whether a South African team can ever win the Investec Champions Cup, and why the Sharks remain the most frustrating team in rugby despite having one of the best squads in the URC.
Jean de Villiers and Schalk go head-to-head on Louis Bielle-Biarrey vs Bryan Habana in a footrace — and the answer might surprise you.
We also debate the best and most intimidating rugby stadiums in the world, the schoolboy rugby overload crisis, and Henry Pollock's growing target on his back.
And — we prank call Nick Mallett live on air and ask him to apologise for his referee comments. His response? Exactly what you'd expect. 😂
Champions Cup quarter-finals preview: Toulouse vs Bordeaux, Bath vs Northampton, Leinster vs Sharks, Glasgow vs Toulon — predictions, man of the match picks, first try scorers and margin calls.
