About this episode

The episode discusses the latest developments in French Rugby, including play-off hopes and upcoming finals.

It's a big week in French Rugby... Bordeaux and Montpellier head to Bilbao with their Top 14 play-off hopes very much alive following a weekend of late drama and surprise performances. France fall short in the W6N, Narbonne overcome Nice in a Nationale final for the ages, and if that's not enough, the Pro D2 regular league season has drawn to a close. We're previewing the Champions and Challenge Cup finals, look ahead to a fascinating Pro D2 Barrage round and reflect on a shambolic ending for the ages in Pau...
