🇬🇪 Karkadze, Japaridze, & 🇨🇦 Duguid in the Montpellier pack go up against the mighty Toulouse today. For a "Tier 2" nation player this is one of the highest level matches they will playin their careers. 🇺🇸 Ainuu, 🇯🇵 Saito, & 🇪🇸 Merkler in the Toulouse team.x.com/STofildesessai…

FT: 🇯🇵 Japan 17-41 Fiji 🇫🇯 An even 1st half that finished 10-10, but Fiji completely dominated 2nd half with 31 unanswered points and a fully deserved win as they broke Japan down in the final 20-25 minutes. This was easily Fiji's best game of the PNC.

🇫🇯 Fiji's next game vs 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland in November is outside the release window so will have to be a Drua selection. Then onto 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales, 🇪🇸 Spain, 🇮🇪 Ireland with a full team. Wales the obvious one to target for the "Tier 1" scalp. They have not beaten them since that 2007 game.

The PNC players today put pressure on some of the French based incumbents (Matavesi, Botia, Tuisova, Radradra, Botitu, Wainiqolo etc) who will all need to put in some big performances in Top 14 next 6 weeks to get a starting place vs Wales. x.com/T2Rugby/status…

An interesting development here. FER President says there was a meeting with clubs to discuss professionalisation of rugby. It would be huge for Spanish rugby if something comes from this. Club game globally needs more of the love the French give to theirs.x.com/Carloshansen2/…

🇯🇵 Japanese players have reputation as homebodies slow to adjust in the rare times they go abroad. Yet Saito making a great start at Toulouse. As we saw with Kinghorn this club right now is enhancing reputation of anyone who arrives (Jaminet exception).x.com/actu_stade/sta…

Top 14 fans are baffled why Stuart Lancaster has put Tuisova back on the wing after he was the best most destructive #12 in the competition in 2022/23 (although he was injured most of 2023/24). x.com/eKoloKante/sta…

Radradra is back today after a travel delay caused him to miss the opening two rounds. Him and Niniashvili playing together hopefully should be great. Aptsiauri makes his Top 14 debut from the bench. Big game for Lyon up against a passionate Vannes crowds. x.com/LeLOURugby/sta…

Saito being warmly adopted by Toulouse fans. Wonder if he will be tempted to stay for more than the one season he is scheduled to? x.com/eKoloKante/sta…

In your opinion did 🇬🇪 Niniashvili make the right decision to leave Lyon for La Rochelle? He wants to win trophies, but problem is La Rochelle crash ball style may not be a good fit. Lyon had poor season last time but have talent and could get better if stop selling top players.

He did get an assist earlier in the game and nearly created another so not having an all round shocker. But there will be never a worse play in Niniashvili's career than this. 🤦 x.com/Top14OffBis/st…

A good win for 🇳🇱 Delta over 🇷🇴 Romanian Wolves in an ultra tight game. This was basically a contest between the two nations domestic based contingent. It shows how the gap between the two nations is now really tight. x.com/RESuperCup/sta…
