Show Notes
UBB and Toulouse produced masterclasses to set up a quarter final for the ages in the Champions Cup, whilst Toulon sneak a nail-biter and Stade Francais are dumped out of the Challenge Cup. We've got all the action from Europe, literal carnage in Pro D2, and a very, very mixed bag of April Fools nonsense in the petit-fours.
Look out for further previews of this weekend's games over on our YouTube channel:
