Ep.67 – Bulls, Bath & Beyond with Riaan Louw

It’s the pointiest weekend of all in the URC and the Premiership this weekend, and rugby Youtube star Riaan Louw joined Brett McKay & Harry Jones on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast to ponder style over substance, power over precision. Leinster host the Bulls in Dublin in the URC Grand Final, while all English rugby eyes turn to a sold out Twickenham, when Bath and Leicester face off in the Premiership Final. Is Dublin still in love with Leinster? Will the Bulls’ private charter plane be their secret source? And who will the neutrals follow in the Prem decider? Plus, two properly mouth-watering semi-finals await in Super Rugby Pacific, it’s Phase Finale weekend in the Top 14, and it’s conference semi-final weekend in Major League Rugby in the States.
