The Telegraph Podcasts.

Hello and welcome to Brian Moore's full contact in association with the Telegraph.

I'm Brian Moore and joining the show today of the former Munster and

island back rower Alan Quinlan, EPCR chairman Simon Halliday and Wasp's ladies club captain

Kate Alder. He joins after a team ended Saracen's unbeaten run. Plus we've got the regular

slot for Nigel Owens and he's here to answer your questions on rugby's laws.

But first, here in the studio is the telegraphs Ben calls.

Ben, how are you?

Yeah, good Brian. How you doing?

What a weekend, eh?

Yeah, it certainly lived up to the drama we were hoping for after a fairly quiet round five in a sense.

And the permutations and the Abacus were in full full use for

round six i think it was vital for the tournament's integrity that sides like quins was to a lesser

extent because they still had an outside chance of qualifying putting performances that were

commensurate you know with what we know they can do.

We don't want sides going and surrendering.

We don't want weakened sides to be picked.

And we didn't get that.

Yeah, I mean, no disrespect to Harlequins whatsoever.

But I think the expectation was that they would go to La Rochelle.

And a bit like Olster did earlier on in the tournament,

probably face a really tough French side
