What happened in the opening weekend of domestic rugby?
Pod, pod, pod, pod. Rugby pod.
Hello everyone. Domestic Rugby is back. It is back. Not just domestic rugby. Grassroots rugby is back as well. The pitches are softer, they're playable, and many of our listeners would have enjoyed being back on the pitch over the weekend after a delayed start to the season. And of course, we're back. We've been back for a couple of weeks, but we're back back. We're proper back now. Properly back. Properly back now. Uh the Prem was absolute carnage at the weekend. It was brilliant. Saints. putting fifty nine points on Newcastle Red Bulls, but they're getting better, Rob. We look good. All right. All right, mate. They're looking good. We're happy. You get sixty points put on you, but we're happy. Uh they were better, let's be honest.
Uh Bath went to Harlequins and thankfully did a big job on them as well. Uh Bristol won away up in Manchester. Sale didn't really fire a shot. Not impressed with them. Uh Gloucester, very impressed with them. They put forty-five points on exter Chief Chief Chiefs at the weekend and then Leicester versus Sarries on Sunday was a hell of a game to finish off the Prem games over the weekend.
It certainly was. Twelve tries at Welford Road. Defence was optional at times. Just give everyone the ball and let 'em have a crack. Attacking rugby. That's what it was this weekend. But that wasn't the only big game at Welford Road yesterday, was it, Jim? Um You donned the jersey.
Yes.
You got the chicken legs out.
Yeah. You
I saw Broke
the thump.
Broke his thumb. I saw the biscuit. I saw the biscuit. You see the biscuit on top of his head? I thought he hid it pretty well actually. No, no, the biscuit. Robby you saw
the biscuit, you'll be too
nice. But it was great to see you trotting out for the seven four five game, raising money for MND research against some very, very hard rugby league players. Um looking forward to chatting about that, Jim, and hearing your take on your performance. I've had some takes via social media and some mates that watched it. Um I can't wait to hear your take.
Eight point five out of ten. That was Rob's take, by the way. I said seven out of ten. Anyway, we're getting on to that. It was a wonderful occasion as we will talk about. Uh, but also the URC up and running, All My Scotland. Two from two. Yeah, who'd have thought? Hey. Twenty injuries or twenty players missing for Edinburgh. I didn't think, but they did the unthinkable at the weekend. Uh big wins for Glasgow as well against Irish opposition in Munster and then Leinster. They looked all right actually to be. Fair against the Lions and we'll get into the Lions. They are a horrible team to play against. Uh Connor uh also fell to a South African team. The Stormers at home at the DEXCON Stadium. Uh but loads to chat about in the UIC.
Yeah, and we haven't mentioned the madness of the Wallabies against the Springboks yesterday. How good was that to all?
How funny is the tagline that Australia beat South Africa with eleven players, which obviously wasn't the case. It was at the end of the game. But that's the the headline on the front pages of the news.
Chaos over in Perth. The Wallabies got the win. The refs are having to deal with mobile phones. Yeah, your Instagram post back. Yeah, you can't. Sorry, just to let
you know.
James is back and he's put on VIP tables when you need a VIP table. I thought they handled it well, but we'll talk about all that as well. So settle back, enjoy, and make sure you've subscribed on Spotify. There we go.
We're uh Right then, Andrew, we're into a new season, as we know, but there's still lots of the listeners out there. They're not doing it, mate. They're not doing it. They're not signing up to Refund Club. So the old finance deals out there that we all got done on, alleged allegedly, Refund Club are already investigating over two thousand claims. Ten cars are mine. Ten cars are mine. I've already applied.
And we're not talking about a few quid either, are we, Jim? The latest estimate is around 7.5 billion pounds that could be owed back to 12.1 million UK drivers over car finance deals from 2007 to 2021.
