Summary
It was a huge weekend in the race for the Prem play-offs as the top two both lost. Ashy, Danny and Chris dive into Leicester’s massive derby win over Northampton and discuss the electric atmosphere at Welford Road, the Tigers pack and if Henry Pollock needs to shake the pantomime villain image. Bath missed the change to go top after Exeter put them to the sword with an impressive second half display at Sandy Park. Are the Prem champions starting to run out of steam? Noah Caluori makes his pod debut fresh from an impressive Saracens win at Ashton Gate. He chats to us about his stunning breakthrough season and his ambitions with England ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup. We also dissect the RFU’s statement following the review into England’s Six Nations campaign. Why was the review so vague? Do fans deserve more transparency from the RFU? And what can we expect from Steve Borthwick’s side moving forward?
