We have a genuine enforcer back on the pod this week as Big Courts joins Jim to look back at all the Champions Cup quarterfinals, including his own game versus the Bulls, and Lesinter’s demolition of reigning champions La Rochelle. The lads give their take on the latest episode of Chasing the Sun and how Courtney would react to Rassie’s unusual coaching tactics, and how we rated the Springboks. Plus we look ahead to two class semifinals, including Northampton’s trip to the iconic Croke Park for a showdown with Leinster and Harlequins trip to Tolouse.
