@mazmcm.bsky.social why are Pau top of the table despite being on equal points with Toulouse, but Toulouse have more points difference and more points for and fewer points against? Is there some french logic I can't understand? top14.lnr.fr/classement

For international tournaments, rugby is ~by far~ the second most popular sport by total and average attendances The 6 Nations and Rugby Championship are uniquely appealing for small team comps, the women's RWC is in the top 20 biggest international sports comps, and the men's is getting bigger! 🏉

Best tournament of my life. Rugby World Cup 2025, I will never forget you!

Half time at the first leg for the final spot at the 2027 Rugby World Cup repechage and Paraguay have been brilliant, two costly interceptions give Brazil the lead, but definitely have a watch if you want to catch a fun game! Paraguay winning up front, esp the scrum www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRaG...

How could you possibly choose?!

I fear we haven't spoken enough about what a generational run Sophie de Goede had...

Who benefits from the abolition of stamp duty land tax? The first answer: people buying very expensive homes. Average saving for someone buying a £10m+ home is £1.7m. Average saving for someone buying a £250k-£500k home is £5k.

I've been the smug, insufferable leftist who expects moral purity from my candidates. I still am at heart. But I've come to realise that purity is privilege. It doesn't exist, so waiting for it justifies inaction. The people I meet will benefit from "good enough" long before "perfect" arrives

Okay so the PWR starts in 3 weeks and Abby Dow doesn't have a team yet... What's going to happen 👀

Red Roses have sold more than 30k for their next home game vs Ireland in the Women's 6 Nations... so far! This energy never stops, would be epic to fill up the third tier outside the World Cup. France to host at the Velodrome or Stade de France when?

Anyone know who's replacing Samoa in this Autumn game vs Italy, they're likely going to be shattered from 3 games in 11 days for the repechage (8th-18th November) federugby.it/quilternatio...

@alicesoapbox.bsky.social I heard you mention the attendances on the last Full Credit episode, and thought I'd put up a full list of Attendance% for Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 England obviously the main draw, but Black Ferns brand is *huge* (Small caveat of double headers lifting e.g. Brazil)

They did it. After a world of pressure on their shoulders, the Red Roses are finally World Champions, overcoming Canada at a sold-out Twickenham. We dive into how England adapted their gameplan, nullified Canada, and saw the title home... youtu.be/dN_a3lAJTYg

I'm not here for code wars, but I think an interesting angle is that the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup Final had a higher single game attendance than *any* rugby league world cup game. Further the total attendance was higher than all but one edition: Genuinely phenomenal stuff

The Cóndores are off to the 2027 Rugby World Cup! 🏆 A spectacular 1st half allowed them to clinch an edge over a spirited Samoa Check out my report for RugbyPass www.rugbypass.com/news/chile-t...

And allow me to share this plug, if you don't mind... Pablo Lemoine has been one of the geniuses behind Chile's uprising, with the former Los Teros prop explaining the basis of their work Grande, Pablo Lemoine! Vamos! 🇨🇱🇨🇱 www.rugbypass.com/plus/pablo-l...

And Chile are heading back to the world cup!

Harry Kane becomes the fastest player to reach a century of goals for a club in the top five leagues since 1992. Two goals against Werder Bremen this evening secured the record for the Bayern Munich striker. He now has 15 goals in just eight appearances this season.

Good news everyone. The nice and simple 20 minute red makes the uncontested scrum laws so much easier to work out.

It's a testament to what an unpaid squad can achieve with the right backing and a brilliant coach like Kevin Rouet. Read the full story on the unique financial reality of Canadian rugby and their path to the final: scrumhalfconnection.com/2025/09/15/c...

1/ Canada's women's rugby team has defied the odds to reach the World Cup Final this Saturday, but there's a huge misconception about their journey. This is not a team without funding. Here's the real story of how they did it. 🧵

Oh Canada! One of the greatest team performances in the sport's history put Canada into the 2025 World Cup Final, bowling over the Black Ferns in a truly remarkable display. How did they do it, was anything wrong with New Zealand, and can they go all the way next week? youtu.be/MGi6idyobGU

Women’s player of the year nominees… Aka: we had to name two people other than de Goede

The Chile vs Samoa game was at the same level as a Christopher Nolan movie🎞️ A cascade of twists and turns mixed with several expected and unexpected protagonists, and a final 10 minutes worthy of an Oscar Check out my RugbyPass match report 📝 www.rugbypass.com/news/samoa-r...

2029 Women's Rugby World Cup: With World Rugby's recent announcement we definitely know 10 teams (6 Nations + Pac 4) 2 more are de facto locks, South Africa (Africa) and Japan (Asia) 1 more is a likely lock following investment for '25: Brazil (South America) The last 3 im/ex-plicitly from WXV3:

Did Bemand drill a drop goal routine? #FRAvIRE

Bigot with the steal, good hands, and Grisez runs it in from the end of the earth That might be all she wrote, let's see the last 12 minutes #FRAvIRE

Stat of the half from the BBC: 628 kick metres for Dannah O'Brien 100% Player of the match if Ireland win this

I think that defensive set wins France the game

Wafer nooooo

Most important player so far: Sandy Park wind France just cannot exit, and even a light dink from O'Brien flies 40m to bury France deep in the 22 again #FRAvIRE
