Making sense of Leinster's underperformance, and Bordeaux add mettle to the magic
•
Berch, Murray and Gav review the Champions Cup semi-finals, where Northampton Saints produced one of the greatest performances in the history of the competition to upset an off-colour and confounding Leinster side at the Aviva Stadium.
The lads assess Leinster's shortcomings in what Berch believes was the worst of their knockout reversals in recent years, and they also discuss the second semi-final as Bordeaux rubber-stamped their credentials against French and European champions Toulouse.
