People focusing on the Bulls fielding a second string. But the French should also be pointing to the effect the travel had on La Rochelle, or the ludicrousness of Lyon being asked to long haul travel to play at altitude with a few days to prepare.

Leinster fans booing ROG should have more respect. Sure he beat them as coach last year, but have they ungratefully forgotten his sensational performance as a player to help them get to their first European title? The try scoring pass to BOD was a classic!

Three tries and a couple of big moments

La Fléche du Béziers 🏹

RAFFAELE STORTI

WTF? Who the hell in MLR saw this and thought it was worth a 6 week ban (reduced to 3 for player clean record)? Might be the most weird suspension ever seen in rugby.

This lunatic approach to cross continental travel a madness that has afflicted nearly all rugby blazers.

What idea has WR spent years determinedly pushing through? A World League with crazy long haul travel for 6N sides off the back of long club seasons.

Frustrating thing is anyone with half a brain and access to a world map could probably tell you SA teams in European Cup not good idea. That's why few to no other sports make competitions with such cross continental travel arrangements. Yet idiots in charge of rugby do it anyway.

The whole English league so inconsistent this season (besides Newcastle consistently at the bottom).

WHAT A TRYYYYYY

How did this player slip through NZ's net? Apparently only moved to England after failing to make Canterbury's Academy so NZ rugby was first option for him but let him go. Was there another top tier talent ahead of him or did their selectors just mess up?

Perfect bit of instinctive play from Marques.

Enjoy a bit of great footy

Look at those golden feet of Monsieur Marques

BUNA THE BULLET! 🤯

Interesting addition for Drua. Sorovi played 42 Super Rugby games for Reds & Rebels (although only 7 starts) but disappeared from pro rugby shortly after declaring for Fiji in 2021. Last pro game was May 2022 and been amateur level since.

Hat trick already for Storti today. His 18th, 19th, & 20th tries of the Pro D2 season. Now just needs two more to beat the Pro D2 record of 21 tries in a season. Still has 25 minutes to tie it in this game.

Before becoming Crusaders record try scorer he was set to become an Irish project player. He could have been 2 or 3 years into an international career for them by now on a different timeline playing with Lowe on the other wing.

🇫🇯 Fijian lock Setareki Turagacoke just 17 years old already got promoted from Crabos (U18) to playing regularly at Espoirs (U21) in his first season at Stade Français. He scored 5 tries in his 5 Crabos games before he was deemed to strong for that level.twitter.com/SFParisRugby/s…

Marta's try and some bit of unwarranted love from Brive and Colomiers

Ah, la Pro D2

16 years on and we have no Anglo-Welsh league but do have South African sides clocking up air miles in the European Cup. That just about sums up how depressingly the blazers who run rugby have mucked up domestic rugby for UK fans these last several years. twitter.com/Joneschristoff…
