Today we're joined by one of the most decorated rugby players in history in Ex England International & British & Irish Lion Brad Barritt to help take us through a wonderfully exciting and entertaining weekend of European rugby. We also get to delve into Brads incredible career which saw him win 5 premiership titles and 3 european trophies. We hear how Brad believes that the South African clubs can bring some much needed attention and interest back to European rugby, as they have done in the URC and believes that it will strengthen the tournament, how he's happy to see Eddie Jones be let go from the England job as he was one of his first victims and England and the players who've been left out will be reignited once more, we debate whether Eddie Jones and Dave Rennie will be able to get on with each other if he joins up with Australia, whether Ulster's travel delays were to blame for their hammering against Sale, whether Andy Warwick should have got a red card for knocking out Tuilagi with a head collision and what happened when max came face to face with Henry Tuillaggi. Plus Brad shares some incredible stories from his career - ranging from nearly losing his eyesight thanks to Owen Farrells finger, the day Matt Stevens saved his life from drowning and the incredible story behind him being called upto play for the Lions when in the middle of a bender in Las Vegas!
