Shu-army, Shu-army.

0:14

Shu-army.

Jim HamiltonHost

0:15

Rhian, let's have you.

Jim HamiltonHost

0:16

We've got Rhian in the studio as well.

Jim HamiltonHost

0:17

Shu-army.

Jim HamiltonHost

0:18

Not a fan of the Shu-army, but I am a fan of Northampton and what they stand for, and if that means Shu-army, then I'm down with it.

Jim HamiltonHost

0:25

The mighty Northampton Saints, they were crowned champions of England once again at the weekend, proving that they are more than just razzle and dazzle, grinding out a win against a very good physical Exeter Chiefs side.

Jim HamiltonHost

0:39

Uh, George Hendy does it again.

Jim HamiltonHost

0:41

Henry Pollock was on top form, and a fairy tale ending for George Furbank before he heads, I can't believe it, still can't believe it, to Harlequins.

0:52

I can.

SlugansPanelist

0:52

Well, speaking of George Hendy, I think he's still got his ski goggles on.

Jim HamiltonHost

0:55

Sponsored ski goggles now.

Jim HamiltonHost

0:56

They've, they've upgraded.

SlugansPanelist

0:57

Since stadium ski goggles.

Jim HamiltonHost

0:59

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SlugansPanelist

0:59

[laughs]

Jim HamiltonHost

0:59

Well, he's had them on for two years, Rob, because he is back on after the Prem final win.

Jim HamiltonHost

1:03

Friend of the show.

Jim HamiltonHost

1:04

He'll be on today like we just mentioned, and, uh, definitely wearing ski goggles.

Jim HamiltonHost

1:08

I don't know definitely.

Jim HamiltonHost

1:08

I've asked him to, uh, and full kit, but it's been a couple of days.

1:12

We also had the URC final on Friday night where the Bulls choked at Croke Park.

SlugansPanelist

1:18

Who writes these intros, by the way?

1:20

Oh, great intros.

Jim HamiltonHost

1:20

AI.

SlugansPanelist

1:20

Truly shocking.

1:21

Absolute Leinster domination.

Jim HamiltonHost

1:23

Jack.

1:23

Young Sam Prendergast-

Jim HamiltonHost

1:25

He was good

1:25

... let's just call him Sam Prendergast now, was on top form.

1:28

But some bad news for Ireland as they did suffer some Nations Championship casualties in the process.

1:34

And breaking news coming out of Dublin is Leo Cullen is gonna step down at the end of his contract at the end of next season.

Jim HamiltonHost

1:41

But not this season.

1:42

Not this season.

Jim HamiltonHost

1:43

But they've announced it this season.

1:44

That's hard rugby.

Jim HamiltonHost

1:45

But anyway, what else have we got? England 15A, who knows, under the radar, played against France 15A in Vans on Friday.

Jim HamiltonHost

1:53

Not that anyone knew about it, and if you did know about it and tried to watch it, you couldn't because it was broken apparently, allegedly.

Jim HamiltonHost

1:59

Um, so we've got that to get through.

Jim HamiltonHost

2:01

We've got a new coaching appointment to talk through, another game that went under the radar, Boks versus the Barbars, and loads more.

Jim HamiltonHost

2:09

So you know the drill by now.

Jim HamiltonHost

2:10

If you don't, Andrew.

2:12

You've got to settle back, enjoy, and make sure you've subscribed.

2:16

Where's Slugans?

SlugansPanelist

2:18

2:19

Oh, there he goes.
