Head coach David Marty and defence coach Gérald Bastide leave #Top14 basement side Perpignan, following a series of crisis talks after the club's fifth defeat in five games this season www.usap.fr/articles/C4F...

Bayonne🚣‍♂️ vs Toulouse🛡️ Has the hallmarks of a Sunday evening cracker! Bayonne not lost a Top 14 game at SJD since Jun 24… 🚣‍♂️ > Pick an enormous pack again > Could exploit ST at scrum & lineout > Debut for Leota 🇦🇺 🛡️ > Rotation up front, opted for dynamism, still strong > Bertrand: we’re big fans 🙏

Stade Francais are top… 🫠🫠🫠

For anyone with a few minutes to spare, there's a little preview below 👇 youtu.be/sVpY0gylPZ0

Big round of #Top14 on the horizon!🔮 Feeling a Parisian win in Perpignan, but beware the Catalan backlash after a tough few weeks! Castres need a win over in-form Racing 92, and in the game of the round on Sunday, will fortress Jean Dauger hold strong against a flying Toulouse?

Quercy v Galthié This week's Jouez: The French Rugby Dispatch Also includes emtional Les Bleus, Basque cider, and an unhapy Antoine Dupont open.substack.com/pub/illtudda...

Just over half an til kick off, (and live on YouTube via FRUK) Rob has done a full preview of Dax vs Vannes 👇 youtu.be/Qp5iFWduhK4

And a little preview to talk through the last round of this block below 👇 youtu.be/I7lm3S5LBH8?si…

Round 6 of #PROD2! 🔮 Vannes will aim to continue their form away to Dax and Rob is backing Carcassonne to sneak one on the road given their recent exploits. Huge game 9pm Friday. After a crazy week, if ever there was a time to play Grenoble away, maybe it's now for Provence...

Tom Staniforth’s mullet, more than anyone else’s, is just too good to get rid of…

🚨Pod Drop!🚨 Back from a hefty weekend involving some magic 🇫🇷 rugby, glorious food and a flight 'incident', this week we have: - #Top14 reports from Montauban and Toulouse. - Behind the Scenes at Agen! - A 🚁 Flying Restauranteur in Bordeaux... 🎧👇 linktr.ee/rosbifsrugby

Midi Olympique's team of the #Top14 round four Toulouse hooker Guillaume Cramont wins the individual award for his hat-trick against Castres Bayonne fly-half Joris Segonds kicked a drop goal with the clock on 79:00 to edge Toulon

After last night, it looks like Enzo Herve will be pressed into match action for Castres very quickly following his medical joker move from Toulon www.therugbypaper.co.uk/latest-news/...

Name a man that looks better in a cravat. We’ll wait…

Bienvenue à Montauban 🇫🇷🏉

🔮 #Top14 Round 4 We're on the ground for Montauban vs Montpeller and backing USM to get off the mark in the league! We’ll also be at Ernest Wallon for the derby! Looks a bit home-winsy elsewhere, but UBB have more than a sniff in Paris, and could Toulon breach Fortress Stade Jean Dauger?

👀 ONE TO WATCH 22yo Tongan back row Tomasi Fineanganofo has started the season in red hot form for Agen, with 4 tries in 3 games. This cracker was one of two last night against Béziers. He is such a dynamic ball carrier!

Castres man Rich joins the Cassoulet Mafia 🍲🍷

🔮PRO D2 Round 5 In all the excitement of yesterday’s game, we forgot to post these! Or were delayed by having to get over the fact that Rich has gone for all home wins for the first time ever…? Agen got us underway. All eyes on that final game between last season’s top 2.

Friday 😍

A day in Toulouse for us today. Think we’ve found somewhere to welcome us…

Arrivé 🇫🇷 Time to watch some rugby 🏉

📖 Holiday reading sorted ✅ The Rugbyrama bible for the 2025-2026 season. Squad info all the way down to Fédérale 1 🫠💦

The first Rosbifs tour of the season is underway! First stop Agen (via Bordeaux) for their Thursday nighter vs Beziers. Then a day of rest, definitely not taking in Chez Tonton in Toulouse, before Montauban at 4.30 and the 9pm ko at Stade Ernest Wallon. Allez!

Arrivé 🇫🇷

🚨New Pod!🚨 Awesome to catch up this week with Beau Farrance of Agen, chatting everything from playing with his brother in PROD2, being British Judo champion and Agen's fast start to the year! + Floods in Toulon and retro Italian football kits... 🎧👇 linktr.ee/rosbifsrugby

NOOOOO!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

Game’s Gone Soft! Remember when French rugby players used to be hard…?

Toulon 🏴‍☠️ vs La Rochelle ⛵️ Both teams in good form so far & go in strong tonight. Weather makes it closer ☔️🤿 La Rochelle don’t have a good away record. Mayol is a fortress even by Top 14 standards. - Niniashvili at 15 - Lesser-spotted Frisch returns - Lagivala makes first start 🔥

🔮TOP 14 ROUND 3 Feels like one of those rounds where these feel obvious but we will look completely silly come Sunday evening… Speaking of Sunday, all eyes on the Mayol where it could be a blockbuster (if the new La Rochelle can find some away form). Thoughts? 👇 youtube.com/shorts/cbe6y...

Round 4 is here! 🔮 An intriguing round with a few of the big boys on the road. Brive to sneak it down in Biarritz, and opinion split on how home sides Carcassonne and Valence will get on. Vannes vs Provence the pick of the list, expecting the Bretons to prevail on home turf...

🚨New Pod!🚨 Earlier than usual, the latest pod is out and we have: - Lots of La Rochelle and Agen chat - France sneak into the Semis - Not much on Racing's thrilling win in Paris... + Aurillac dance the Samba, and Nimes nail a kit launch! 🎧👇 linktr.ee/rosbifsrugby

#Top14 Round 2 Predictions🔮 Firmly behind Montauban and recent pod guest Karl Wilkins to get off the mark this weekend! The Stade shout looks ambitious, with Pau looking strong, and with most of les grands chiens at home, UBB look the best bet for an away in on Sunday...

That's Pro D2 for you; nothing better. Close finishes, unexpected results and Aurillac scoring Barbarians like tries!
