## Resource

Alfie Reynolds, Elgan Alderman and Charlie Morgan look back on the Champions Cup quarter-finals. They ask which was better...Bath and Northampton's epic high-scoring tussle at The Rec? Or the heavyweight clash between Bordeaux and Toulouse? Was Henry Pollock unlucky to be shown a yellow card so late in the contest? And, despite defeat, will Northampton be confident of getting revenge in the Prem final? Are Leinster going under the radar and could they actually win the Champions Cup this season? And, the boys look back on the opening round of the Women's 6 Nations as the Red Roses made it 34 wins in a row! *** Allianz Future Fund | Allianz Insurance Hosted on Acast.
