Episode 3686: Wins All Round In The Champions Cup, Connacht Conquer Saracens, Munster Get It Done In Cork
It’s been quite a few seasons since Connacht have been in the Champions Cup and an opening game against three-time winners Saracens wasn’t exactly a gimme. But after trailing early doors, they pulled it back in an amazing 80-point game at the Dexcom Stadium.

Munster got the win in another big-score game against Racing 92 on an emotional night in Cork, ten years on from the death of Anthony Foley. Shane Horgan and Jack Carty are with us to chat through both wins, as well as Leinster’s away victory against Clermont just a week out from meeting Munster at the Aviva.

Plus there’s bonus point confusion, bringing back the banana kick, and a bumper Monday night of sport.
