What he's doing in that Toulouse team and the influence that he has both sides of the ball is something I've not seen from a back row consistently for a long time.

And which is a big thing to do.

The Rugby Pod

The Rugby Pod
#34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned

these French players that's still in there.

The Rugby Pod
#34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned

Like, Aldergarry is basically the one moment where you're like, so French.

The Rugby Pod
#34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned
