Series 2, Episode 22: Nick Abendanon on his career and French vs English domestic rugby, tributes to David Emery

In April earlier this year Bath and Clermont legend Nick Abendanon called time on a stellar 17-year career.

Nick joins host Ollie Little as well as columnists Nick Cain, Brendan Gallagher and Chris Hewett to reflect on his career and also discuss the vast differences between the French and English domestic games. 

The Rugby Paper was devastated to learn of the passing of its founder, David Emery, at the weekend. The episode ends with the columnists paying tribute to David as both a phenomenal professional and person.
