#7 Tunnel Bust ups, Derby Drama, England Squad Surprises & Sean Jansen

We're on the road this week, recording in Glasgow and looking back at a proper derby weekend. Leicester end Northampton’s dominance with 25 unanswered second-half points after a fiery half-time tunnel bust-up. Marcus Smith marks his 200th Harlequins appearance with a man-of-the-match display as Quins thrash a badly ill-disciplined Saracens. Gloucester survive three yellow cards to shut out Bath and stay top. Leinster come from behind to edge Munster at the Aviva, in a game with plenty of off-field fallout. The lads also react to England's Sqaud and Jim sits down with Connacht’s Sean Jansen ahead of the Nations Championship. In other news, they cover Sonny Bill Williams’ open-heart surgery, World Rugby’s call for a competition to trial a lower tackle height, and whether replacements should be allowed to celebrate tries on the pitch.
