Summary

Jaden Hendrikse sent the rugby world into meltdown over the weekend for his wink at Jack Crowley. Was the Springbok scrum-half genuinely injured or not? There is plenty for Chris, Ashy and Ugo to debate, including the fine line between gamesmanship and bad sportsmanship. Ashy and Ugo share their own tales of opponents winking at them on the pitch and the times they overstepped the mark on the rugby pitch. We also look ahead to a bumper weekend of semi-finals in the Premiership and URC. Plus, Sarries legend Alex Goode joins us to reflect on his wonderful career, tells us what's next and gives Ashy grief for not naming him player of the match in his final game!
