Show Notes
We are joined this week by Zack Holmes, Top 14 and Champions Cup Winner to discuss his decade long career in France, life at the big guns of La Rochelle, Toulouse and Bordeaux, and Oyonnax's ambitions for Pro D2.
The Champions Cup produced fantastic moments, and we dive into all of that, review a wild time for the French in the Challenge Cup, and mark the pleasing return of the greatest prize in the French game, the Carcassonne Player of the Month Award...
