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.

Look out for further previews of this weekend's games over on our YouTube channel:
