Original audio archive
Three original recordings: rugby commentary, a bilingual interview and a studio results round-up.
Match commentary
Live rugby commentary following a catch, a passing move and a penalty near the halfway line.

A high one, Dougie Flockhart's under that, he's caught it and he's running. He's been caught, flips it out to the fly half, who gets it out to Seb Jewell in the centre and out to the winger, number 11, Charlie Amesbury. Wearing a scrum cap, interestingly, for a wing three quarter, they don't normally. Must have sensitive ears. And the referee's blown there, it appears to be a penalty to Esher on around the halfway line, just inside the Welsh half.
[Unclear] kick if he were to go for it.
Interview
An archive interview about crocodile farming, introduced in French.
Open audio file: Crocodile Man, opens in a new tabContent summary; a full transcript is not yet available.
Rick introduces a crocodile farmer from Zimbabwe in French, then interviews him in English. They discuss his move into crocodile farming in 1990 and its connection with an existing poultry business.
The conversation turns to crocodile leather and the cost of clothing made from it, then to the visitor’s impressions of farming in France. Rick closes by thanking his guest and wishing him well for the rest of his holiday.
Résumé en français : Rick présente un éleveur de crocodiles du Zimbabwe, puis l’interroge en anglais. Ils parlent de son activité, du cuir de crocodile et de ses impressions sur l’agriculture en France.
Results & analysis
A studio round-up of rugby results, considering their effect on the pool standings.
Open audio file: Sports Studio, opens in a new tabMachine-assisted transcript with punctuation added. [Unclear] marks uncertain words; refer to the recording for exact wording.
Cardiff Blues will now come into the reckoning if that latest score turns out to be a win for Cardiff Blues. Cardiff Blues 29, Sale 12 at the moment, and one other interesting result, Gloucester, have done the business against Biarritz, Gloucester 23, Biarritz 8. Now that does Glasgow a big favour, because Glasgow won earlier in the day. So Biarritz were runaway winners in pool 2 there, but it opens it up a bit now with Glasgow having won today and Gloucester having won. Tries there for [player names unclear] for Gloucester, and it was 13–3 at half-time, but Gloucester ran out eventual winners 23-8 against Biarritz. Biarritz always a handful, difficult side to beat, especially at home, but Gloucester had done the business today on what was probably a very wet pitch.
