#40 France Sweep Europe, Leo Under Pressure, Spying Scandals & Diamond’s Crisps Rant

[upbeat music] Pod, pod, pod, pod.

Rugby Pod.

[upbeat music]

Hello, and welcome back to the Rugby Pod, where we have crowned two new EPCR champions.

Basically, the French.

Vive la France, as they dominate the Irish in the finals in Bilbao.

Montpellier and Bordeaux are crowned Challenge Cup and Champions Cup champions.

More Irish finals misery, more Guinness and blackcurrant for me, but a great, very hot and sweaty weekend was had over in Bilbao.

Oh, my sweats.

It looked hot, only from the thermometer.

It didn't actually look that hot on TV.

I don't know what everyone's moaning about.

[laughs]

But yeah, we're looking forward to hearing about you having the boots on the ground, and the verdict around Leo and Leinster.

Could be a tough conversation around that.

But also, how do we, the URC, the Prem, close the gap on the top 14? Uh, plenty to talk about, and there's a few other bits that have gone on as well.

What have we got? Steve Diamond lashing out at the Chris Salesman.

[laughs]

World-class players on the move, and men hiding in bushes with bushes.

[laughs]

Uh, more on that later, though.

Let's get into it.

Settle back.

You know the drill by now.

Enjoy.
