Crouch Bind Set JT Farrell et al.

In which we discuss white water rafting, tacos and cheesecake, and dogs. And some rugby. This episode might contain the most and strangest background noises of any episode to date; the producer should be fired.

As Dylan tries to destroy the world of white water rafting, we are joined on the guest mic by Adam, who tries to destroy our podcast. We break down the Champions Cup Final, a game for the ages, and John takes the very dodgy argument that sometimes, stats don't matter.

We look at the leagues as they close out their regular seasons and some teams get ready for the playoffs, discuss the doom and gloom attitude of the chattering classes, and examine some of the best rugby nicknames.

We welcome Ashley, our very first guest, and also listen to the advice of Self-Help Singh. We determine that South Africa needs to move countries and that money makes the world go stupid.

What does an octopus have to do with the Champions Cup? Nothing, unless it's doing the tomahawk chop. And yes, we know it's Rob Baxter and Bordeaux Begles, dammit.

This episode has it all: long distance communication, dogs, birdsong if you listen carefully, all the quality we've become famous for. We discuss teams of the tournament, the "Yeah No" XV, critical maple syrup issues, and the state of the Nations. We'll be back for the Investec Champions Cup.
