With the British & Irish Lions squad announcement merely a week away, Ben Youngs and Dan Cole assemble in the For The Love Of Rugby studio to preview a massive game of European rugby.

There are Lions match-ups galore as Leinster host Northampton Saints in the Investec Champions Cup semi-finals, whilst Jack Willis stakes his claim one final time as his Toulouse outfit travel to Bordeaux Bègles.

Meanwhile, in the Challenge Cup Owen Farrell will step out for Racing 92 against Lyon knowing that a vintage performance could grant him a ticket to Australia, whilst Edinburgh face one of the trickiest tasks in domestic rugby as they host Finn Russell's superb Bath side.
