About this episode
The group stages of European rugby are over, and it was a vintage one for the French sides with 12 progressing to the last 16 of both the Champions and Challenge Cups. Damian Penaud goes wild against the Sharks, Toulouse monster Leicester and their less heralded neighbours produce the shock of the round as unfancied Castres smash Saracens in North London. We've got ProD2 action to digest as George North makes his home debut, plus we'll be looking ahead to the first Rosbifs outing of 2025. 00:00 - 03:30 Entrées: Carbon Offsetting Champions Cup Round 4 03:30 - 06:45 Champions Cup Hors d'oeuvres 06:45 - 12:25 Toulouse v Leicester 12:25 - 19:00 Saracens v Castres 19:00 - 25:00 Clermont v Bristol 25:00 - 40:55 Champions Cup State of Play & Challenge Cup Round 4 41:07 - 52:03 Pro D2 Round 17 52:16 - 56:20 Controversies: Jegou/Auradou 56:20 - 1:04:21 Petit-Fours & Digestifs Learn more about your ad choices.
