Sadly, as expected, @BathRugby have confirmed Santi Carreras has ruptured his ACL and will miss the rest of the season; and Guy Pepper's ankle injury will mean he misses all of the Nations Championship.
Good news: Will Muir, Henry Arundell and Tom de Glanville are training again

❌ Immanuel Feyi-Waboso will not play for Exeter Chiefs this weekend, with England opting to take a 'safety-first' approach to his return before the Nations Championship.

England have the cattle up front to unleash the PREM attacking style and Courtney Lawes elderly legs are a key component of this.
Pick the right pack and the rest will follow

France’s player stocks are dropping like flies ahead of the ‘Bitterest Rivalry’ game v #springboks on 13/11.
SA will be kicking their lips, especially at France’s tighthead crisis, and the missing Jalibert & Meafou.

A disappointing weekend for Prem Rugby
A middling one for the TOP14
A great one for the URC

Enjoy the first round of European Rugby but feel you want to be better prepared for round two in December?

Had the pleasure of seeing some incredible performances from my Toulouse beaus, but that was something very special.
Mentally toughness of the highest order and an absolute masterclass of versatility from the great man, Dupont.

I don’t think there’s any 9 in the world that could move to ten and carry a side to a win quite like AD did today.
Phenomenal.
