A tall order for the Tigers against a filthy, fully loaded Bordeaux-Bègles, with Damian Penaud returning from injury to rub salt in.

And, disappointingly, neither of them looked like giant Michael Bolton lookalikes in tight vests trying to throw ovens over bales of hay.

I took on the World’s Strongest Man – and crumbled under the weight Highlanders Tom and Luke Stoltman have powered their way to multiple strength titles and try to show Charles Richardson how it’s done
