About the episode
Knockout rugby is back, and it delivered, with niggles, tries, and drama across the Champions Cup. Northampton edged a 13-try thriller against Castres with Furbank pulling the strings, while Bath saw off Saracens to set up a huge all-English quarterfinal. Sale got the job done against a flat Quins side, but injuries are stacking up ahead of Leinster, who look dangerous but not flawless after a messy win over Edinburgh. The big favourites, though, are set for a clash with Bordeaux and Toulouse, who are blowing teams away and looking like the sides to beat. Meanwhile, all the South African teams crash out early. Plus, Storm Dave chaos in Glasgow, Toulon heartbreak for the Stormers, and plenty of chat on England selection, transfer rumours, and what’s next as the competition really heats up.
