Damian Penaud goes wild against the Sharks, Toulouse monster Leicester and their less heralded neighbours produce the shock of the round as unfancied Castres smash Saracens in North London. We've got ProD2 action to digest as George North makes his home debut, plus we'll be looking ahead to the first Rosbifs outing of 2025.
