Pod pod pod pod. Rugby pod. Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the Rugby Pod, where the Champions Cup semi-finalists are locked in. Bordeaux's top 14 and Champions Cup double is still alive. And Leinster, of course, they've got their home semi-final again at the Aviva.
That's right, Andrew. Leinster will have to do it with some bruised bodies after the sale match. Oh, my Joe McCarthy, you've got a pineapple on your head with blood sprouting out everywhere. The mullet almost came clean off hard as nails, but we'll get into all of it. As well as Bath's comeback against the mighty Northampton. Some unbelievable tries in that match as well.
What happened in Bath's comeback against Northampton?
But the Bath bomb squad delivered yet again. Fair play to Jan van Graam and the boys in blue and black and white. And it's all happening down in Bath.
And for everyone overlooking three times Champions Cup winners too long, Zach Mercer, Olivon, Big Sinks, and the boys went up to Glasgow, went up to your neck of the woods, Jim, just across from you, snapped a 12-match unbeaten run at Scotstoun and progressed to the next round of the Champions Cup.
Yeah, we're going to be going through it all, unpicking it and dissecting it with Jim's dirty open cloth. We've got biting bands, legends coming home, and lions roaring again. So without further ado, settle back, enjoy, and make sure you're subscribed on Spotify.

Goudie, I heard you got Alford at the weekend. Where did I get Alford?
I'm not an Alford, lads. I'm a happy-go-lucky guy.
No, no, no. Andrew, you're not an Alford in life, but in the bar, in the bar room, ballroom, you are the Alford. And you got Alford at the weekend. I'm getting video calls early in the night or the morning, however you look at your clock. And I wish I answered because there was me... Ice bath, soldering, training, look at me. And there's nowhere I'd rather have been than with you and the great Lawrence Delaglio in a bar in Dublin. So you told me that you got outford by the alpha. Out outford by the main dog alpha.
Yeah, well, it depends how you look at it because we finished up at the same time. That's all you need to know. So I see being outford as going home early. And then that's if you get Alfred. If someone's put you to bed early, then you've been out Alfred. So there was no way I was letting the lol beat me from a timing drinking perspective. So yeah, I had a good night out in Dublin. I've made more mistakes, lads. I've been to Dublin for three weekends on the trot and I've not really utilized my hotel room.
How did Leinster secure their victory over Sale?
So yes, I'm jaded, jaded, James, but I've got a long flight ahead of me today to catch up on sleep to Hong Kong. So I shall recover and we will go again in Hong Kong.
Well, things don't get easier for us. We were chatting, Biggs, weren't we, before we went live, that you've left us to the Hong Kong Wolves. And they are great Wolves out there, but Biggs was meant to come in. He's like, lads, I ain't doing it. I have not got the liver.
Why not, Biggs? Well, I did think, I thought after the Six Nations, I was kind of like, oh, I spent a lot of time away from home and things.
