## Resource

We're back on the couch for episode 4 where we get a look at Northampton vs. Bordeaux Part 2: the long awaited sequel to last years European Championship final, and somehow we're still talking about Bielle-Biarrey and if he's Italian or not. Pollock's frosted tips, A Tocco cock up that has us wishing we could hit up Twin Pines mall and head back to fix the timeline, this one has it all. We dig into why this rematch carries weight, what Bordeaux learned from last year, how Northampton want revenge, and then immediately get distracted with plenty of side-quests. Welcome back to Wrong Side of the Ruck. Grab a beer and come along.
