Champions Cup final: Inside Northampton

from Rugby Union Weekly Hosted by BBC Radio 5 Live

Ashy and Chris take the pod on the road to Franklin's Gardens ahead of Northampton's Champions Cup final against Bordeaux. They chat to captain Fraser Dingwall about the size of the occasion for the players and the club. Can they draw inspiration from the class of 2000? And what makes the bond between the Saints team so special? Scrum-half Alex Mitchell reflects on an emotional few weeks for the club and himself personally as he was named in the Lions squad to tour Australia. We also get some fascinating tactical insight from head coach Sam Vesty on they stop this formidable Bordeaux team and deal with star winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey.
