Well done to Leinster supporters! Bear in mind the capacity of Stadium de Toulouse is only 33150 but if Toulouse supporters had a Croke Park they would've filled it up aswell.

Prendergast said Snyman will be a major boost for Munster if he makes it to the field "He is a book of information when it comes to that (how to approach the game against the Bulls)." “He is massively important for us from now to the end of the season.” As they say in the classics: ‘Strap yourself i...

Springboks head coach Rassie Erasmus’s latest plan involves powerhouse front-row Ox Nche learning to play on both sides of the front-row. Nche, who typically plays as a loosehead, shifted across to tighthead during the second half of the Sharks’ dominant round of 16 win last weekend against Zebre Pa...

In English it was Bill McLaren. I love watching the Barbarian matches on YouTube with Bill in the commentary box.

After 40 votes it's the 2023 SF Boks 29 France 28 as the toughest followed by 2023 SF 16-15 England. In a great running match the boks denied France the chance to prevail at their own World Cup. Some called it the greatest game of rugby ever. It's a pity there had to be a loser in such a match. The ...

Will be interesting to see the names on the Bulls’ team sheet.

Apparently, the Bulls completely messed up their travel plans, struggling to get all their players to Europe.
