To sacrifice bid (or something better)? - with Graeme Tuffnell

After we pass, partner tells us about a nice 5-card diamond suit but they find their fit in spades and go to game. Should we sacrifice bid or pass?

Hello, bridge friends ~

We have a weak hand and a 6-card club suit, but we can't bid a Weak 2♣ as that would show strength.


After we pass, partner tells us about a nice 5-card diamond suit. Then the opponents find a fit in spades and bid to game. What should we do now: sacrifice bid or pass? And, which suit would we sacrifice in, ours or partner's?


Or is there another option that we might have missed? We're lucky to have Graeme in our corner to help us through this auction and consider our options.
