Episode description
With the full Bloodgate scandal now exposed, rugby enters a period of soul-searching.
Fallen Harlequins coach Dean Richards makes allegations that blood cheating goes to the very top of the game, while Ugo Monye adds his weight to the argument that other teams are culpable.
And when Tom Williams returns to the rugby pitch, he’s given a less than warm welcome by opponent Chris Ashton.
