Episode 1410: French Back Youth, Targeting 10, US Murph On The Most Expensive Contract In US Sports History, McDevitt Wages War On Shroves
Jacques Brunel has shocked the world… by naming an unchanged France team. Laurent Dupret of RMC Sport joins us from the press conference in Paris with news of what this tells us about French confidence on the back of their win last time out against Scotland.

US Murph tells us about Bryce Harper, the baseball player who has signed a 13-year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies worth $330 million, which makes it the most expensive contract in US team sports history… and the pitfalls of signing deals of this length.
For some context on how incredible the response in Philadelphia has been to the Bryce Harper signing: In the first 24 hours after the launch of his jersey, according to @Fanatics, Harper’s No. 3 sold more than LeBron James’ Lakers jersey did the first day.
