Anayi discusses the URC's efforts to find its own identity, TV revenue, the future of the Welsh regions, next-gen competitions, and how last year's final almost ended up in Cork.

Ciarán, Murray, and Berch then get stuck into this weekend's intriguing Champions Cup final between Leinster and La Rochelle, who have beaten Leo Cullen's side for the last two years in a row.
