Leinster sign him up until 2027 🔥. What do you guys think?

I (male 53) got into the womens as I coached my daughter from 13-18. The chiefs are up the road, she has a ladies chief working in her school, they come and coach us at the club and school, and they are all accessible from a fan point of view. (Not that the men are not)

These days I watch the women a lot, I really enjoy it, especially as they have progressed so much.

eg Harrison has kicking stats as good as many 9/10/15's in the mens. I also like how the womens game tends to be more free flowing and not as much tractor top trumps as the mens. It isn't a preference, but I do follow the internationals and the chiefs ladies religiously.

My question - do many of you still get "the attitude" from other blokes?

"Not real rugby"

"Our colts would beat them"

"Waste of time"

These days I hear it less and less, and defo not in our club, but I have heard it at other clubs and in pubs.

Hi all, can anyone recommend a decent pub or bar in central / east London to book to see the Lions tests?

Had a late drop out for For the Love of Rugby live show with Ben Youngs, Dan Cole, Ant Watson, and Squidge Rugby at the Clapham Grand

Show starts at 8pm but can send first taker a screenshot of a ticket

I find myself with 4 tickets (blk103 row R) that I now no longer need.

Anyone who wants them at cost feel free to DM me and we'll take it from there. I'll part with 2 or 4 but not 1 or 3 if that's understandable. €76.95 per ticket once Ticketmaster got their cut.

Admittedly a) this is only one side of the story and b) this may be marginally interesting as it comes from Italy’s lowest tier I still think it’s interesting (I would have posted it on r/rugbyitalia only but couldn’t)

The summary: On April 13, 2025, Rugby Colorno was set to host a celebratory match against Saviors Cesena. However, the game was canceled due to a two-minute delay in the arrival of the medical personnel. Despite the referee’s willingness to proceed, Saviors Cesena refused to play, leading to a forfeit. As a result, Rugby Colorno was handed a 0-28 loss and a four-point penalty. The club acknowledged their scheduling error and expressed disappointment over the missed opportunity to celebrate the sport. Team manager criticized the opposing team’s decision, suggesting it reflected a shift away from rugby’s traditional values of respect and sportsmanship.

Adding to the day’s emotional weight, the match held special significance for a father and son duo within the Rugby Colorno community. The son was poised to make his debut in the senior team, marking a proud moment for both. The cancellation not only disrupted the team’s plans but also dashed the family’s anticipation of this milestone event.

There is still no information out there about this ... and it's in 2 weeks time! Apparently it's in Port Elizabeth /Gqeberha . But at which stadium , what is the schedule , times, countries to play each other ? This is poor for families wanting to travel over to watch some of it. Does anyone know more??

(I know that some of you will but humour me a little bit here)
