Rosbifs Rugby ·

2025/02/25

What a difference a couple of weeks makes. Equal parts beautiful and brutal, Les Bleus' performance in Rome has certainly re-ignited tournament interest. We discuss the Italy game, as well another cracking week in the Top14 as a beleaguered Racing 92 produce their result of the season away at faltering La Rochelle. 9 tries isn't enough for a bonus point in Provence as Grenoble tighten their hold on the top of ProD2, and Chartreuse may just have produced something more extraordinary than it's potent

The Battle at the Bottom is looking congested following Vannes' stirring performance in Paris, whilst Toulouse re-assert their big-boy status with an imposing performance in Clermont.
