#17 Crisis Meetings, The Willis Derby, ROG Rumours, and Checking for a Pulse in Bordeaux

from The Rugby Pod · host The Ringer

The lads are on form after a massive round of Champions Cup action, breaking down everything from Saracens win over Toulouse, to Glasgow looking like genuine contenders, Leinster surviving La Rochelle in a bruising classic, and Quins blowing the Stormers away at the Stoop. There’s chat on Henry Pollock being public enemy number one in Bordeaux, Bath’s European march, and why Pool 2 is absolute chaos with everyone still alive. Jim gives the inside line on crisis meetings, second rows and dodgy penalty calls, while we also get stuck into AI coaches and ROG rumours. Plus, the boys announce their first London Six Nations live show at the 12th Knot rooftop at Sea Containers – free for Pod listeners – so it’s one you don’t want to miss.
