[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome back to the Rugby Pod after a mad weekend of domestic rugby. We have our URC semifinalists locked in. Surprise, surprise, four home wins. We saw fierce rivalries renewed, last-minute winners, clubs battling it out to make the top four, and some spicy other news as well.

In earlier news, the great Sean Edwards has been sacked from the French team. Who knew? Kind of felt something weren't right there. Anyway, we'll get into it in other news. Absolute madness. Uh, the All Blacks are also trying to ruin Rob's summer, allegedly. What's going on, Rob?
Rob· Panelist0:45
Shocking. Trying to steal our best player, trying to stop him coming.
Andy Goode· Host0:48
Oh, okay. Right, we will get into that as well then. We've also got content creators selling out stadiums, and we've also got clubs sacking off presidents celebrating with their teams as well, so they could go out on the pish. More on that later, lads.
Dan Biggar· Panelist1:02
We'll also be previewing the big clashes next week in the URC, as well as exploring the Prem top four permutations as the competition comes down to the final weekend. So settle back, enjoy, and make sure you're subscribed on Spotify.
