About the episode

This week on The Rugby Pod, we’re diving into a chaotic weekend of URC quarterfinals as the Sharks knock Munster out via a controversial shoot-out in Durban, and Glasgow smash through the Stormers to set up a semi in Dublin. We debate the gamesmanship antics from Jaden Hendrikse that had players and fans riled and whether rugby is edging into football territory. We also look ahead to the URC semis, discuss whether Leinster are vulnerable, and preview a massive South African derby. In the Prem, the playoff picture is locked in as Bristol run riot, Sale hold firm, and it’s farewell to Gloucester and Jim’s Saracens. Plus, lots of other news, including whether Farrell is coming back to the Prem. Enjoy!
