We're back to break down a weekend of action, including Saints and Bath combining for a 119 points result and sparking a debate: are cricket scorelines good for rugby? We look at Leicester’s comeback thriller against Gloucester, Leinster’s return to the RDS, the All Blacks dismantling Australia and the Springboks making their presence felt in the URC, with the Stormers and Bulls laying down serious markers. Plus, Ulster and Munster serve up another draw, Marcus Smith returns in style and we preview the opening round of the Champions Cup on Premier Sports. We’re also joined by Glasgow Warriors legend George Horne to talk try-scoring records and what makes a world-class scrum-half. Elsewhere, an NFL superstar takes to the grassroots rugby pitch, World Rugby cracks down on dangerous tackles and there’s all the latest news, big talking points and grassroots shoutouts.
