Bordeaux Bègles go back to back. European champions again. Special club. Special fans. Special players.
The French dominance of the Champions Cup continues.

A step into the Wild West saloon, aka the French TV truck.
A lot of conversations -- with referees, TMOs, telly types and executives -- have led to this deep dive.
Did you know that, largely, the "French TV director" is one man?

England’s new jersey is designed to help those who wear it “endure the intensity”, “evolve” their game and “capture resilience”.
Are these leaked conclusions of the RFU’s Six Nations review?

Piece on the Prem’s bonus point system and why it looked mad last night.
As an aside, the URC has the same system. Three URC games last night: aggregate of 117 points… 10 fewer than Saints-Bristol.

England squad named Monday. Archie McParland hard to ignore. Different style No9 to the others: tall and physical, he’s learned to love a tackle, plays eyes up and so dangerous around the fringes. George Hendy on the radar. Fin Smith and Tommy Freeman unstoppable in that mood.

I always wanted to create @usmlr Sunday Night Rugby on ESPN to be entertaining and educational. Never an easy task with a short live TV window & catering to rugby & non rugby fans. But here’s is an example with @AlexCorbs that marries the two. What happens in a rugby scrum? 👀👏🏻

Big story..

🚨The South African teams are strongly considering pulling out of the Champions Cup🚨
A decision will be made in July, and if they leave it would have profound implications across the game.

The All Blacks stayed at Rockliffe Hall, Middlesbrough's training base, in 2015 - but they practiced elsewhere.
No international rugby team would use such exposed facilities. Test rugby has become a battle of intelligence and counterintelligence.
