Cardiff's eleven debutants, Premiership's salary cap & Women's Rugby Association

European Rugby got underway at the weekend and joining Brian Moore in the studio to reflect on the opening round of games is former England 7's captain Rob Vickerman.

The pair discuss an impressive win for Leicester, who toppled French league leaders Bordeaux away from home. George Ford in particular impressed for the Tigers and we discuss if the fly half has any opportunity of forcing his way back into Eddie Jones' thoughts for the Six Nations.

Cardiff faced the daunting task of hosting reigning champions Toulouse at Arms Park. Things weren't made any easier by the fact they had 42 members of their squad isolating. Rowan Jenkins is one of eleven players to have made his debut against the defending champions and he joins the show to discuss the four days of preparation he undertook to have himself ready to play.

Elsewhere Harlequins women laid down a marker on Sunday by beating previously undefeated Saracens in their own backyard, their skipper Rachael Burford joins the show to discuss the win and also the formation of the new women's union, The Women's Rugby Association.

Plus we talk about the impact the reduced salary caps could have on Premiership sides, both good and bad and we pay tribute to Antoine Dupont after he was named as the best player in the world.
