Show Notes
It was a big weekend for followers of rugby in the French capital, with Racing 92 storming the Stade du Hameau before Stade Français reaffirmed their title credentials with a huge win over La Rochelle. Perennial escape artists Perpignan did the business over Provence to retain their Top 14 status, and with that done and dusted what better time to run through our Rosbifs Rugby Pro D2 Team of the Season!
