    The Prem season went down to the absolute wire but we have our semi finals locked in as Northampton Saints host Leicester Tigers and Bath face Exeter Chiefs at the Rec. One step ahead of the Prem, the URC has its finalists with Leinster edging the Stormers and Bulls completing a shocking comeback against Glasgow to earn a shot at silverware at Croke Park. Jim, Goodey & Producer Rob break down all the controversy, big plays and bigger players as well as chatting through all the OTHER NEWS from this week… Including a MEGA contract extension for Andy Farrell, changes to The Rugby Championship AND a Springbok coach jumping ship. We also have Cadan Murley in the studio to take us behind the scenes in the England dressing room, previewing their upcoming battle with the Springboks, telling us what an Ellis Genge Pre-Match speech is really like AND what it means to pull on that special white jersey.

    French rugby takes centre stage this week after a dominant EPCR finals weekend, with Bordeaux-Begles battering Leinster 41-19 to claim the Champions Cup and Montpellier beating Ulster 59-26 in the Challenge Cup. The lads dig into how the Top 14 has opened up a serious gap on the URC and the Premiership teams, what went wrong at Leinster, whether Leo Cullen is under pressure, and how teams can bridge the gap. There’s also chat on Louis Bielle-Biarrey’s Player of the Year, Cheslin Kolbe's South African return, Steve Diamond’s brutal Newcastle exit, a Hollywood ending as Ealing are shocked in the Championship, rugby spying scandals from bushes to hotel fire alarms, and a few grassroots shoutouts from Middlesbrough, Mold RFC and Syracuse.
