A marquee episode of Talking Snooker for you. Phil and Nick have been joined by a bonafide great in John Higgins. We knew this would be good, but it genuinely surpassed all our expectations and we can't wait to hear what you think.

Neil Robertson says ‘the sporting conduct in snooker is in the bin’.
At the International Championship, we’ve seen Kyren Wilson angrily launch his cue across the table and Jimmy White tell a referee, ‘don’t give up your day job’.
Is Robertson right? Are players going too far?

Don't see a massive celebration from Ding Junhui very often! He thumped the table there before that final pink had even dropped. Maybe it's catching being around Maguire
This tournament has relentlessly delivered on the drama so far.
Ding gets Kyren Wilson in the quarter-finals

'In general the sporting conduct in snooker is in the absolute bin and something really needs to get done about it.'

Huge win for Stephen Maguire, beating Wu Yize 6-5 on the final pink.
The world champ wasn't in the wild form he had shown in his previous two games. Maguire played really well after early frustration.
They only have bangers, these two. Maguire lost their previous two meetings.

Good to see a couple of snooker up and comers will play each other at the International Championship tomorrow.
These two glorious greats of the baize gave us the very best of all 50 Crucible finals.

Wang Xinbo continues his rapid rise up the rankings with a 6-4 win over Neil Robertson.
The 18-year-old beat one of the players of the season Jak Jones in the last round and gets Marco Fu in the last 16.
He's the youngest player left in this quarter of the draw by 30 years.

He has set himself a massive titles target and an age he wants to hang up his cue by.
The race is on!
