Jasmine Paolini had to break up a fight over her towel after her match at Roland Garros She literally took the towel back from them and gave it to someone else 💀 Boss moves 😂

Au Stade Rochelais on a décidé de faire un peu de magie noire pour se dire aurevoir 🖤 Haka en l'honneur de Tawera Kerr-Barlow qui quitte les Maritimes avec ce sublime hommage 🤩 #TOP14

We hardly knew you… Confirmation that Laulala is departing, having contributed very little.

No parachutes was a good choice🪂 #RCTUBB

🔴⚫️ Nepo Laulala a réagi au post du Stade Toulousain le remerciant avec un emoji « 🤢 » Visiblement on est sur un fin en eau de boudin entre le All Black et les Haut-Garonnais.

Toulouse beat the all-time Top 14 points record previously held by Clermont – with one game still to go.

Cardiff only sign THs with ropey eyebrow slits

The collective neutering of Glasgow’s maul tries by the rest of the URC in 2025 is an under-appreciated aspect of why they struggled in the run in this year. (Johnny Matthews is no longer the URC’s top try scorer as a result)

Crazy that Leinster are struggling to attract crowds for games against relatively nearby teams in their hunt for their only trophy of the year. You’d think Leinster v the reigning URC champions would be a pretty attractive fixture at least.

This graphics is 🔥 Every league should do it Still plenty to fight for in the final weekend: • UBB + Toulon scrapping for a SF slot (tho T have a tough match away to Bayonne) • 5 teams seeking the other 3 barrage places • Vannes, USAP and SFP scrambling to avoid relegation

Baptiste Jauneau the first player with five try assists in a match in the Top 14 And he managed to do it in just 40 minutes!

Will be pretty interesting to see if he can make this work after the Racing disaster. He’s clearly got some talents as a coach, but equally clearly he still has to prove he can cut it as a *head* coach.

Rugby is the most homoerotic sport, if not thing, on planet earth. If an alien came down to earth and saw rugby for the first time with no context, there’s no way you could convince them otherwise. It’s so cute and I just love it 💕

Turns out Pro D2 did it first (ofc)

If you're gonna do it, do it properly, give everybody equal opportunity Don't give Fiji a "home" game against England that's at Twickenham. Have it in Fiji in their weather conditions Or in Clermont or Auckland where they have a lot of players

Very funny that before the Nations Cup has even kicked off we already have England playing away matches at Twickenham. I’m sure it won’t just be them either - this isn’t a jab at them specifically. Money talks eh. Does make it a bit of a circus though for a comp standpoint

🌋 Jauneau was absolutely ridiculous at the weekend. HEAVILY involved in all of Clermont’s 7 tries, with the decisive pass in 5 of them! Stunning return to form for a youngster who had dipped in form. He is more than a little bit Dupont-y…😳

Some info from BKT United Rugby Championship (URC) chief executive Martin Anayi. Attendances up 14 per cent this season to a new record level, with an average of just below 12,000 per game. On TV figures, total viewers have now gone past 150 million since URC was launched in 2021.

Quite annoying really that Glasgow managed to somehow fuck up the run-in sufficiently that there is no chance of a Scottish final in any circumstances

Having read the details of the FFR/LNR deal, my guess is that Galthié is going to end up with a really quite strong French squad, while also having basically none of the big names anyone in New Zealand would actually have heard of…
