Another week, another review of the European domestic leagues, with ESPN’s rugby editor Martyn Thomas covering the Premiership, ESPN senior editor Cillian O Conchuir on Pro 14 duty, and me covering the French Top 14.
It was another enthralling weekend of European club action as Saracens returned to the top of the Aviva Premiership, Leinster beat Munster at a packed Aviva Stadium and Racing and Toulon both lost in France.
But who caught the eye, who had a game to forget, and what will we all be talking about ahead of the next round of fixtures?
