James O’Connor joins the lads this week to walk us through his phenomenal and often misunderstood career.

One of the most talented players of his generation, he gives us an incredible insight into the highs and lows of his career so far and what his plans are next. Max and Ryan also cover off the Champions Challenge Cup Finals and the jubilant scenes in La Rochelle. #RugbyPassOffload #S2 #EP36
