    S3 EP16 - French Cup Crisis?
    Dec 9 2025
    The Investec Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup are one round in, and amidst a deluge of rugby - some awful, some stupendous - we're doing our best to unpack the cliches, the lows and the distinctly Bordeaux flavoured highs from a generally underwhelming round for the French sides. There's also plenty to discuss from Pro D2, housing renovations in the Béarn, and plenty of gastronomic fare in the Petit-Fours.

    The Autumn internationals are over, and other than the names and whereabouts of some excellent restaurants in Paris, what have we learned about France in November? We're reviewing a cracking game against the Wallabies as well as the campaign overall, and pondering what needs to change moving into the Six Nations, and whisper it, the World Cup. There's also the usual round up of Top14 action including two brilliant wins on the road for Pau and Castres, unlikely crowdfunding and a live unboxing of some French rugby formalwear. 00:15 Entrées: Autumn Ailments 03:03 Rich's Weekend in Paris: Part 1 05:25 Massy v Bourg-en-Bresse: Rosbifs Review from Massy 08:23 Rich's Weekend in Paris: Part 2 09:50 Rob's Non-Rugby Day in Twickenham 13:19 France v Australia: Rosbifs Review from Stade de France 24:23 Review of France's Autumn & Changes Going Forward 58:20 Nationale Nibbles 1:00:07 Pro D2 Round 12 Preview 1:04:07 Petit-Fours & Digestifs Learn more about your ad choices.
