Show Notes
What a week in French rugby, with the Top 14 saving one of its best rounds 'til last, as the Barrage spots are confirmed and it's catastrophe for UBB and delirium in La Rochelle. Further north, there were wild scenes in Vannes as they return to the promised land following an epic final against Provence in Toulouse, and elsewhere there's emotional goodbyes, forwards kicking sticks and plenty of excitement in the 13-man code!
