JK and Victor are back — and this week's Champions Cup served up chaos. Bordeaux dismantled Leinster, and we're breaking down exactly why defensive structure can be the difference between glory and embarrassment.
Plus: New Zealand's overseas player eligibility debate — where do JK and Victor stand? We name the form players in both NZ and South Africa right now, and make our calls on who's winning the URC quarter-finals.
And Victor Matfield — a man who scored some of the most outrageous tries in rugby history — takes us inside the chip and catch. How do you actually execute it at the highest level? He should know.
All that and more on Rivals.
