<p>Wherein I look at all the action headed into the first week of the European competitions. Well, not <em>all</em> the action, as I didn’t have time to delve into the Dubai Sevens, and I’ve intentionally ignored the Rugby Europe Super Cup, since their reps agreed to come on the show to discuss it, only to completely ghost me.
