The Champions Cup is back, and we're delighted to be joined Leicester Tigers fly-half Billy Searle before their trip to La Rochelle this weekend. Billy gives us the rundown on his move to Leicester following two fascinating seasons in France and how those experiences across the Top14 and PROD2 have shaped the player he is today.

We also have a full preview of the Champions and Challenge Cups, a rundown of a crazy round in the Top14, PROD2 and Beauden Barrett's great tour of Burgundy.
