    Also, while we don't always answer everyone's question, we do go through them all and fit in what we can so we appreciate the feedback. We all have a habit of being verbose so occasionally run out of time!

    Lions backups - who are the direct replacements in case of injury?

    Australia's love of the Utility Back, and why can't we get them here?

    We might leave the BT thing till next week, because it'll need time.

    Topics covered will be a review of Euro finals and a preview of domestic semis & finals.

    What kind of angle for Lions did you have in mind?

    We'd had a couple of 'foreign' fans but mostly have a core group of people.

    We'll give the guys at GAGR a shout, collaboration would be great.

    By the way everyone, if you ever want on, drop me a PM or email Dave (theworldstalking*at*gmail.com)

    The main show this week will concentrate - of course - on the Lions (and also a Top 14 review). But we are recording a separate French-NZ series preview tonight with Frenchman Etienne.

    Any Qs for Etienne? Or Kiwi Matt & Ulsterman Thomas?
