As for Belgium, they will begin their FQT campaign against Namibia

Tough, tough match, but they have enough firepower to create something special

Toulouse's Matias Remue to feature as 10, whilst Rugby Club Vannes Berguet and Decubber are in the pack

No Jens Torfs, though
November 7, 2025 at 6:45 PM
As for the Lelos, they are clearly favourites in their match against the Eagles 🦅

The duo Lobz-Abzh is back, but the leading player is undoubtedly Davit Niniashvili

Bristol Bears Luka Ivanishvili is in the starting line-up
November 7, 2025 at 6:45 PM
Romania and Canada will clash in Bucharest, and after a dismal July, the Stejarii have a win in their sights

Septar is back in the fray two after his 'exile'! 🆕

Tomane, Vaovasa, Conache and Chirica are also back, in what will be Cojocaru's first of his three last games for his country
November 7, 2025 at 6:45 PM
Elsewhere, Portugal will host Uruguay, with both teams missing some big names

However, Samuel Marques, Cody Thomas, Raffaele Storti and Rodrigo Marta are back, while 🐦, despite not having Arata, will see Jean Cotarmanac'h make his debut!

Massive, massive match for the WR rank
November 7, 2025 at 6:45 PM
Spain's team for tomorrow's clash vs Ireland ⚔️

Insanely good team with Pau's Jon Zabala, Toulouse's Lucien Richardi, RC Massy Gonzalo López Bontempo, and a few others

Going to be a brutal game for both teams... can Spain deliver a big result?
November 7, 2025 at 6:45 PM
Marta, what else? 🟢🔴

The Colomiers star was class against Béziers-Hérault scoring a beaute of an interception try!

His best highlights from this past Pro D2 round
November 2, 2025 at 8:56 PM
He is back...

Raffaele Storti is officially back at scoring tries in the Pro D2

The FC Grenoble wing delivered the goods with a hat-trick and some cool passages of play 🔴🔵
October 27, 2025 at 3:04 PM
The kid is really doing his thing in France...

Two tries, three clean breaks and speed to give and sell!

What a signing from Provence!

Bienvenue Manuel Vareiro 🔴🟢

Master and Commander of the Pro D2 soul, Samuel Marques ⛵️

He is off to a spectacular season start in what might be his final year as a pro player

Incroyable, monsieur
October 14, 2025 at 1:45 PM
Nicolás Martins came off the bench and... did what he usually does

Here's his first try for Colomiers, who currently occupy the Pro D2's 1st spot

Here's him knocking a few players to the ground

Marta 🤝Pinto

Delivering the goods for Colomiers

For the scrum aficionados (like myself)8⃣

Romain Trouilloud's 55-meter kick was something insane, but when you have a scrum machine that purrs, it makes it easier for everyone else

Gauthier, Ruffenach and Thomas with a massive shift💪

Especially Thomas
September 2, 2025 at 11:07 AM
Samuel Marques doesn't age👶

The 🇵🇹 9 scored 24 points in Beziers loss vs Biarritz, pulling some of his best tricks and plays
August 30, 2025 at 8:40 AM
If you told me that New Zealand would only have an 18-point lead at halftime, I wouldn't have believed it 🇪🇸

Spain is putting out one of the best defensive performances they have ever done

It is matching the atmosphere in York

Vamos, LEOOOONAAASSS

THE MYSTICAL RAQUEL KOCHHANN SLOTS IN BRAZIILL'S FIRST POINTS IN A WORLD CUP 🟢🟡
August 24, 2025 at 2:02 PM
A historical day for the Yaras, South America and Women's Rugby

I feel nervous but I do believe they will put out a show!

Vamos, Brasssiiiuuuuuuuuuu 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
August 24, 2025 at 1:33 PM
Proper impressed with the Springbok Women 🦌

If they can trim here and there, and polish a few areas before the World Cup starts, we might have something special brewing

Top entertaining rugby!

ZIMBABWE IS QUALIFIED FOR THE 2027 MEN'S RUGBY WORLD CUP

WHAT A FREAKING CHAOTIC GAME

CONGRATS SABLES!! 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

A few months ago, some fans (who will remain nameless) said Fin Smith (or even M. Smith) would bring more cohesion or x-factor than Finn Russell to the Lions

For those, sit down, eat your damn humble haggis 'pie' and shut up, please

Eat it, eat it whole, say thank you and relax

Finn's got this

Welcome to... Springbok Park 🦌
July 13, 2025 at 11:57 AM
On Sunday, we will have the semifinals, and let's say it will be madness

Zimbabwe vs Kenya will be a frantic clash of styles, while Algeria vs Namibia will be an arm-wrestle between forward packs

Reminder that we are also having

Ivory Coast vs Senegal
Morocco vs Uganda
July 8, 2025 at 6:35 PM
The last highlight isn't a try, 50/22, turnover or a mix of all

It is a simple combination of side steps from Jone Kubu Tavaga

He was sensational for ⚫🔴🟢 and deserves the praise!
July 8, 2025 at 6:35 PM
The home team were so close to pulling a sensational comeback, but it wasn't meant to be...

Still, this interception led to one of the best tries of the quarter finals

Philip Wokorach with a devilish side step to inject a bit of hope
