Bernard Jackman joins me to discuss the prospects for Antoine Dupont and France as they head down to the Souther Hemisphere for the July tests and the Nations Championship. We discuss if Dupont's position in the France team is under threat from the likes of Maxime Lucu and where France truly lie in the global game. How will that play out against the All Blacks and Australia? Bernard gives his take exclusively on the HG Rugby podcast.
We also deep dive the TOP 14 final and Bernard explains what makes Stade Toulousain (or Toulouse to you and me) the powerhouse that they are - from coaching, to players, to culture. Finally, to finish the pod, Bernard gives his take on the current unrest in Irish rugby, the lessons he learnt from Welsh Rugby and what he really thinks about Fabien Galthie.
