🎙 MON is back with a blockbuster Champions Cup episode as Harlequins deliver the most Harlequins result imaginable — stunning La Rochelle just when the pressure was at its highest — while Munster crash out after a brutal, win-or-bust night in France 🇫🇷

We’re joined by Will Collier, Castres Olympique prop and former Quins & England tighthead, for elite insight into scrummaging, knockout rugby, and life at the sharp end of Europe.

🔵 BRISTOL BEARS v BORDEAUX BÈGLES
