About this episode

Danny and Ashley are here to wrap up the champions cup quarter-finals . They reflect on Friday’s epic clash at The Rec and Henry Pollock’s controversial yellow card. Is Maxime Lucu France’s number one scrum-half right now? Does Bordeaux’s defence get credit it deserves? Leinster are into yet another semi-final, but can Toulon defy the odds again next month in Dublin after dumping Glasgow out of the competition? Where did it go wrong for the URC leaders at Scotstoun? And will we see Courtney Lawes add to his 105 England caps? His move to Sale prompts Ashy to declare he is also coming out of international retirement!
