It's been a good festive period in Bayonne and, after five wins and a draw in their last seven games, we catch up with South Africa international back rower Uzair Cassiem to find out how a newly promoted side has made it into the Top 14 play-off places. We get the lowdown on how everything's going in the Basque Country from the influence of Gregory Patat and Camille Lopez to the French Jonny May and the amazing atmosphere of the Stade Jean-Dauger. We also discuss Siya Kolisi's move to Racing 92 next season, what impact we can expect and we have a little bit of advice for the Springbok skipper on life in France...

All that plus we chat about the winners and losers of the festive period in the Top 14 and we pick our MEATER Moment of the Week...
