Eck Hinnigan and Rangi Jericevich step into the breach in place of Robin - it is a two man job - to help Barney and Stuart reflect on round nine of the league season and look ahead to the start of the Inter District Championship (IDC) on Friday night.
Round one of the tournament (which will be played as a round-robin over the next three weekends) sees Edinburgh host The South at Stoneyhill (Musselburgh) and Glasgow & The West welcome Caledonia Reds to Braidholm (GHA), both kicking-off at 7.30pm.
Rangi explains why he was such a big champion of reviving the IDC and the guys discuss whether that competition and/or the Scotland Club XV could/should be extended.
