Toulouse won 21-18.

Poor game under the rain. Toulouse deserved winners though. Without Dupont and Capuozzo, their strike force is not at the same level. These guys make things happen.

Better than my UFC predictions 😉

Steve Diamond’s season-ending ban was meted out because he called a group of match‑day officials “fluffybunnies” before telling the television match official he should retire.

So the deadline has passed with the regions refusing to promise to sign the unknown contracts. What's next do you think? I'm guessing a fudged compromise which in reality is an embarrassing climbdown for the WRU.

I have never seen that before. Marcus Smith hits the post four times and it stays out. Weird.

Worth a chuckle.

That...is a collection of words.

All the local Springboks are back in action in the URC after a long lay off. The URC is a chase for the top 8 business end and Champions Cup 2025/6. Only 8 log points between 5-14 with 3 rounds to go.

'Straight red no hesitation' - Nigel Owens weighs in on Nolann Le Garrec's 'absolutely ridiculous' dive

Nigel Owens slammed Nolann Le Garrec's theatrical, penalty begging dive adding he'd have given him a 'straight red' if he was in charge.

This is rugby’s moment

If he doesn’t get a ban then we’re football

[reprobate]

@MiketheSnow yep, gotta stamp it out right now.

That’s why we need Danny Grewcock.

Semi finals this weekend, think Northampton will get stuffed, also backing Bordeaux to beat Toulouse without Dupont, hope I'm wrong on both counts, Toulouse definitely have a chance.
