How to save the Champions Cup, scrums and the Champ

The Ruck

About this episode

Will and Alex are solving all sorts on the Ruck this week. 


Mark Palmer comes on to chat about Glasgow's extraordinary win over Toulouse in the Champions Cup -- a rare shining light in another mixed round of the competition -- and the boys then debate how to fix the tournament, so there are fewer blow-out pool games. 


Could there be a "European Super League" instead? Or would it work playing it in one block in May and June?


Then Will Collier, the Castres tight-head, joins us to discuss demystifying the scrum, following on from the superb guest column he wrote for The Times last week.


And Alex dissects some news and theories around promotion from the Champ to the Prem, a subject that refuses to go away.
