Episode 11

Wednesday, May 22, 2024 • Duration 01:09:59

The Rosbifs are back to review a pivotal round of Top14 action as the table begins to take shape.

Nice hit the ProD2 big time for the first time, but will any of this week's barrage hopefuls need to add them to their travel plans, or can they go one better?

EP 7: How to Win in Toulouse

Episode 8

Wednesday, May 1, 2024 • Duration 01:21:04

It's Champions Cup Semi-Final week, and with the feeding and watering needs of the travelling Harlequins faithful in mind, the Rosbifs run through their recommendations for a belting weekend in Toulouse, including a couple of potential detours to the Nationale Barrage games. After Clermont prove they can still mix it with the best in the league and Perpignan settle diplomatic squabbles on the pitch in Montpellier, we run through all of the Top14 action and ProD2 highlights including a famous win for Dax in the Landes derby. Find out why the Mont-Saint-Michel trophy may have found it's resting place for the foreseeable, and it's Buy One, Get One Free on Castres Olympique and err, Alice Cooper gig tickets...

EP 6: JIFFs and Quiffs

Episode 7

Tuesday, April 23, 2024 • Duration 01:07:55

Inspired by efforts of those partaking in the London Marathon the previous day, Rob embarks on a similarly torturous journey through the winding backstreets of the French JIFF rules, and the knock-on effect on the sharp end of the Top14 season. We recap all the weekend's action including an agonising defeat for Bayonne in France's premier division, and the end is in sight for ProD2 with just about every outcome still a possibility. Nationale approaches it's last round of the regular season, and a barber pays an unexpected visit to Normandy...
