Rugby YouTube star Huw Griffin makes a rapid return back to The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast with Brett McKay & Harry Jones, as the fallout from the Champions Cup Final celebrations continue. Zebra-related injuries are not something a team typically plans for, but may feature in reviews of Bordeaux’s European campaign.

From there, the URC moves into knockout mode, with Quarter Finals to be played in Scotland, South Africa, and Ireland this weekend, and with upsets possible in one, maybe two games at a stretch. Super Rugby Pacific and the Premiership line up for their final rounds of the season, and with most games having some degree of bearing on playoff berths.

Plus, it’s the penultimate round of Top 14 in France and MLR in the States, and Grand Final weekend in Japan.

Games of the Week:

United Rugby Championship Quarter Finals:

• Glasgow v Stormers, the Scotstoun

• Bulls v Edinburgh, Loftus Versfeld

• Leinster v Scarlets, Dublin

• Sharks v Munster, Durban

SRP Round 16: ACT Brumbies v Crusaders, Canberra

Top 14 Round 25: Vannes v Pau, Vannes

Japan Rugby League One Grand Final: Toshiba Brave Lupus v Kubota Spears, Tokyo

MLR Round16: Old Glory DC v RFC Los Angeles, Maryland
