A late night in Castres and French class

Back from a long trip to Castres, Danny joins Chris to round up the opening weekend of the Champions Cup. There's plenty of love for Finn Russell and the French teams, plus a clean sweep for the Irish provinces to discuss. They also chat to new women's player of the year Zoe Aldcroft and hear all about her lucky mascot. Leicester continue their winning run as Steve Borthwick's stock continues to rise and there is some Ashy news.
