We react to Ulster’s injury concerns heading into the final, the challenge Richie Murphy’s side faces against one of France’s form teams, and whether this young Ulster squad can rise to the occasion on the biggest stage.
We also get the full Montpellier cheat sheet, from their huge, physical pack and brutal set-piece to the danger men Ulster fans need to know about, including Ali Price, Tom Banks and a side that has quietly become one of the most effective teams in France.
Plus, James gives his verdict on where Montpellier are vulnerable, what Ulster need to do to win in Bilbao, and his prediction for the final.

Ulster’s season comes down to one game. Ahead of a huge Challenge Cup final against Montpellier, former Ulster and Ireland centre Luke Marshall joins us to break down where this Ulster side really is, and where it could be heading.

This week, we’re joined by legendary rugby commentator Mark Robson for a deep dive into Ulster Rugby’s season, the evolution under Richie Murphy, and whether this side can finally deliver silverware.
From the dramatic Stormers finish and the Nathan Doak controversy to Ulster’s new attacking identity, Jude Postlewaite's potential, Jack Murphy’s development, and the challenge of balancing Europe with a huge URC run-in, this is a proper rugby conversation with one of the game’s most recognisable voices.
We also get into Mark’s broadcasting career, frustrations with TMO and TV directors, why Ulster are simply more enjoyable to watch again, and what success this season could mean for the province moving forward.

On this episode we discuss the Stormers clash, with Angus Bell returning, squad depth being tested, and predictions for another huge night at Ravenhill.
