A disappointing weekend for Prem Rugby
A middling one for the TOP14
A great one for the URC

Enjoy the first round of European Rugby but feel you want to be better prepared for round two in December?
Get your hands on Attacking the Space, the sports book of the summer as chosen by the FT.

Had the pleasure of seeing some incredible performances from my Toulouse beaus, but that was something very special.
Mentally toughness of the highest order and an absolute masterclass of versatility from the great man, Dupont.

I don’t think there’s any 9 in the world that could move to ten and carry a side to a win quite like AD did today.
Phenomenal.

Bath v Montpellier: Five takeaways as 'self-inflicted' errors strike again whilst visitors' back-row and bench take the Rec apart. #BATvMHR #InvestecChampionsCup

A truly wonderful test
- Wallabies shouldn’t panic
- Meredith emerges
- NZ red zone efficiency remarkable
- Luke Pearce outstanding
- 59 min ball in play time
- Les Lasso

LIONS SADDENED BY THE PASSING OF STAR LOCK
With broken hearts, we mourn Hyron Andrews, a cherished member of our Lions family. Our thoughts are with Maiglin, Hendrix, Emerson and the entire Andrews family.
Rest in peace, Hyron. ❤️

My thoughts on the great French player debate that won’t go away:
“Courtney Lawes and Ellis Genge are right about France, England cannot afford ‘protectionism of mediocrity’”

We only finished our domestic season ten days ago but the first storm of winter is blasting Iceland today.
The strongest wind gust so far was 57 m/s. That's 205 km/hr, or approximately 1.25 Jeff Thomson's, Brett Lee's, or Shaun Tait's for Aussie viewers.

#PREMRugby: Why the tries keep coming, and is Test rugby following?
✍️ @jameswhile
Why is @premrugby seeing so many tries?
- law changes
- upskilling
- team and referee intent
- no relegation threat
Some thoughts here
planetrugby.com/news/prem-ru…
“Seeing the rigorous Matthew Carley preside over @SaintsRugby v @BathRugby try fest was so odd it was like watching a Swiss train pull in twenty minutes late with the driver waving cheerfully from the cab.”
thoughts from @premrugby game @ the Gardens.

Planet Rugby understands that two of the finest players New Zealand has produced this century are at the centre of a #PREMRugby tug of war.
