French TV Controversy | Are they influencing results? Champions Cup Semis Review

European rugby finally delivered the chaos it’s been promising. Bigs joins Jim and Goodey to break down a weekend of semi-final action, with two blockbuster finals now locked in. From Bordeaux’s ruthless efficiency dismantling Bath, to the growing controversy around French TV coverage and TMO decision-making, there’s plenty to get stuck into. Leinster grind out a statement win over Toulon, showing a less flashy but more resilient edge that could see them finally get their fifth star. Ulster book their first European final in 14 years with a dominant win over Exeter, and Montpellier scrape past the Dragons to reach a final. Away from the pitch, the boys react to winning Best Sports Podcast at the Oscars of sport, Eddie Jones’ latest rant, Bristol’s “marketing agency” comments, and George North’s retirement. We cover all the big calls as we gear up for Bilbao.
