We're back from a fleeting visit to beautiful Brittany and Le Stade de la Rabine, where the sun shone Vannes and Perpignan battled out a tense draw in front or two fervent sets of supporters. Elsewhere there were hammerings and comebacks in equal measure across the Top14, whilst ProD2 gave us some eye catching results...

The Top 14 is back and taking centre stage, with the top three seemingly locked in, the bottom two are slowly being cut adrift and as for the rest, who knows! A Devonian army arrived in Pau, the pressure mounts further on Ronan O'Gara and there's some Parisian positivity at long last. Plus, we eagerly look forward to the return of Pro D2, a trip to Brittany is on the horizon, and just who from this Toulon side would make the best cooking companions?

Fancy a 6 Nations podcast with no Lions Squad hot takes...?

France have secured a superb Six Nations Championship under the bright lights in Paris, and we do our best to sum up the tournament despite having a slightly disgruntled Scottish fan in our midst. Who were the winners, the losers, the stock risers and those who have pushed themselves to the fringes? The U'20s matched their senior counterparts to secure an unlikely title with some serious prospects on show, and no sooner are the post championship blues settling in, than the Top14 is back with us this with a full round preview to match.

France overpower Ireland in Dublin in a stunning showing of brain and brawn with some less heralded names to the fore. There were antics aplenty in a Bordeaux infused back row and we try to get under the hood of the 'bench that shall not be named'. Amidst the gloom of Antoine Dupont's injury, ProD2 provided the weekend with some much needed levity, and our boys over in Castres have been channelling their inner rockstars...

We are delighted to be joined by Wales Fly-Half, and one of the most talked about players in France, FC Grenoble's Sam Davies. The former Ospreys and Dragons out-half gives us a fascinating insight into challenges of ProD2, preparing for an Access Match and his decision to move to France from Wales, as well as where to find his outstanding gin on the slopes... Enjoy!

What a difference a couple of weeks makes. Equal parts beautiful and brutal, Les Bleus' performance in Rome has certainly re-ignited tournament interest. We discuss the Italy game, as well another cracking week in the Top14 as a beleaguered Racing 92 produce their result of the season away at faltering La Rochelle. 9 tries isn't enough for a bonus point in Provence as Grenoble tighten their hold on the top of ProD2, and Chartreuse may just have produced something more extraordinary than it's potent digestif...

With no 6 Nations to ponder, Top14 and ProD2 served up some a veritable feast of tries in a defining round as we enter the business end of the season. The Battle at the Bottom is looking congested following Vannes' stirring performance in Paris, whilst Toulouse re-assert their big-boy status with an imposing performance in Clermont. ProD2 dished up points aplenty, rumours abound that Galthie has surprises aplenty up his sleeve, and as Rugby25 hits the shelves, which French players have been hard done by...?

The Jewel in the Rosbif crown, 'Le Crunch' was in town on Saturday with France falling by a single point at a raucous Twickenham, and we do our best to break down 80 minutes of chaos and where it leaves France now.
