    Jan 15 2026
    The All Blacks have parted ways with head coach Scott "Razor" Robertson amid a turbulent performance review that has left the future of several key players, including Ardie Savea, in doubt. Closer to home, Ben Youngs and Dan Cole are back in the For The Love Of Rugby studio to preview the final round of the Investec Champions Cup pool stages as European giants face the possibility of being slain ahead of the knockouts. 🎟️ For The Love Of Rugby LIVE Tour 2026 Tickets: https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/for-the-love-of-rugby-tickets/artist/5645678🏉 Win Scottish Rugby prizes thanks to Vodafone: ⁠https://loveofscottishrugby.co.uk/⁠ 🔮 Join our Investec Champions Cup Fantasy Rugby League: https://www.superbru.com/investec_champions_cup_fantasy/pool_apply.php?p=13104062 🚘 Book a test drive at your local Jaecoo dealership: https://jaecoo.co.uk/find-a-dealer 📋 Fill out the FTLOR listener survey: https://forms.gle/rPGCtcPe7NpnBgfh6 ✍️ Subscribe to Coley's newsletter: https://loveofrugby.substack.com/subscribe 🤑 Win money for your rugby club: https://forms.gle/9PrSEohCYiLB4D9R6 📹 Send us your rugby videos: https://forms.gle/TrB1MB2V2krVXdqd7 💭 Got a question for us?

    Bordeaux Boos Pollock and Saracens SHOCK Toulouse
    Jan 12 2026
    Henry Pollock gets booed as Bordeaux beat Northampton Saints, while Tom Willis scores for Saracens as they shock his brother Jack and Toulouse. Leinster leave it late to beat La Rochelle, Bath look set to top their pool and Bristol win yet again, but how many points is too many points? Why is Christian Wade wearing leggings? Why are wingers getting lifted in the lineout? And why are props kicking 50-22s now? These are some of the big questions Dan Cole and Anthony Watson try to answer, while also finding time to dial up Ben Youngs and ask him what he had for lunch at Harlequins. 🎟️ For The Love Of Rugby LIVE Tour 2026 Tickets: https://www.livenation.co.uk/for-the-... 🏉 Win Scottish Rugby prizes thanks to Vodafone: https://loveofscottishrugby.co.uk/ 📋 Fill out the FTLOR listener survey: https://forms.gle/rPGCtcPe7NpnBgfh6 ✍️ Subscribe to Coley's newsletter: https://loveofrugby.substack.com/subs... 🤑 Win money for your rugby club: https://forms.gle/9PrSEohCYiLB4D9R6 📹 Send us your rugby videos: https://forms.gle/TrB1MB2V2krVXdqd7 💭 Got a question for us?
