Don't panic! You can average it out over 26 matches 🤗

How many JIFF in the team?

In France it was on free-to-air terrestrial TV much to my surprise. Probably not many viewers though.

Thanks for yet another enjoyable listen. I particularly appreciated Rob's comments on the U20s and agree that Diego Jurd is one for the future. I discovered him at the France vs Wales U20 6N game in Vannes earlier this year. He had a great game converting, I think, all nine of France's tries!

Yes, that would be the obvious solution without Canal+.

I've seen others suggesting that the EPCR club competitions should be eliminated to shorten the season.

No solution is proposed to the key question; how can the national team hit the ground running in July when top players are involved in #Top14 club matches as late as 27 June?

I agree that Le Garrec had a good match and series. He has made a good case for being first choice scrum half in the absence of Dupont.

Rayasi is on his way to UBB according to l'Équipe

A good thought provoking article 👍

I guess I'm not that bothered with the Lions tour as I preferred to watch the #Top14 match on TV at the same time last night. And I think that, even if it had been my national team playing against Argentina, I would still have watched Toulouse - Bayonne.

Yes, in the second half the thread stretched and stretched and in the end Toulouse are through.

Half time in Lyon and it's only 20-15 so I won't be switching channels

It's simply another case of the famous "exception française". Why have a red card like everyone else?

Toulouse - Bayonne first half; it should be wrapped up by then 🤔
Lions second half

Good news for RCV supporters 😀

I reckon Occitanie vs Nouvelle Acquitaine would do the trick. In France, though, it wouldn't be the first senior club appearance that counts, it would be the junior club from which the player emerged; the real origin.

RC Vannes' Robin Taccola is in the final group of 30 players selected by France for the U20 rugby world cup starting later this month.

De l’Honneur à la Fédérale 1 en neuf ans, le fabuleux destin de Saint-Malo Après sa qualification en quart de finale de Fédérale 2 en s’imposant contre le PUC sur la confrontation directe, le XV Corsaire de Saint-Malo a validé son ticket pour la Fédérale 1 la saison prochain...

Saint Malo's third promotion in nine years is highlighted by Midi Olympique. An achievement based on youth development despite a modest budget and infrastructure that leaves a lot to be desired.
Fierté Bretonne !

And the second half was a tidal wave of Bayonne possession. Bravo.

Weather forecasts should be taken with a pinch of salt; the first half was pretty wet.

Santiago Medrano prolonge dans la durée au RC Vannes - Rugby Club Vannes Le Rugby Club Vannes est très heureux d’officialiser la prolongation de notre pilier international argentin Santiago Medrano.

Que d'émotions à la Rabine: premier essai de Vunipola contre Toulouse, première victoire contre Lyon, fin de match irrespirable contre Castres, 29-0 après 35 minutes contre UBB, carton rouge de Saili contre Stade Français, , match nul contre USAP, point de bonus contre Toulon, drop de Hastoy, ...

Du jeu de partout, le silence de La Rabine… Ce que nous retiendrons de Vannes en Top 14 La défaite à Bordeaux-Bègles a condamné Vannes à la relégation en Pro D2. Le silence de La Rabine, une attaque de feu et des fins de match préjudiciables, voici quelques éléments à retenir de la saiso...

After an eventful season in #Top14 it'll be back to #ProD2 for RC Vannes 🏉

And Francisco Gorrissen was third with 237 tackles.

RC Vannes had a lot of defending to do this year as they finished bottom of #Top14.
Sione Kalamafoni headed the list of top tacklers in the league.

Watch out for REC rugby Rennes though. They have just been promoted to Nationale and could provide competition for funding if their upward trajectory continues
