Bordeaux end Bath’s Champions Cup dream

We’re podding from the Stade Atlantique in Bordeaux after Bath’s hopes of winning a first Champions Cup since 1998 were dashed by the holders. Chris and Paul Grayson pick the bones out of an epic encounter and discuss where the semi-final got away from Bath. They also chat to Johaan van Grann who airs his frustration with the lack of consistency from the French TV directors. Bordeaux progress to the final in Bilbao and we grab a word with Ben Tameifuna and a special guest in the tunnel after the game. Leinster await, and we dissect Leo Cullen’s comments about the media after they saw off Toulon in Dublin. Can the Irish province finally add that elusive sixth star after making another final? Or can Bordeaux go back-to-back?
