    #34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned
    Apr 14 2026
    Champions Cup semi-finals are locked and loaded after a weekend of knock out rugby. Bath produce one of the all-time European comebacks, overturning a 21-point deficit in an 84-point thriller against Saints, with the Bomb Squad delivering yet again and Finn Russell pulling the strings. Leinster grind it out for an hour before blowing Sale away, with Hugo Keenan reminding everyone he’s world class, while questions remain around their scrum. Toulon then rip up the script, ending Glasgow’s 12-game unbeaten run at Scotstoun to set up a huge semi, and Bordeaux take down Toulouse in a proper heavyweight clash to keep their double hopes alive. On top of that, we get into biting bans, Lions selection noise, big transfers, injuries, and plenty of chaos off the pitch. It’s a stacked episode… settle in. Learn more about your ad choices.

    #33 Knockout Rugby Delivers, SA Teams OUT Already, Quarter Final Previews
    Apr 7 2026
    Knockout rugby is back and it delivered, with niggle, 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 quarter-final. 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 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.
