S2 EP24 - Merguez, Merlot & Masibaka

Rosbifs Rugby ·

2025/01/28

Fresh off the back of the first Rosbifs trip of 2025, we have on the ground reports across all three leagues, as we dive deep into Bordeaux's shock defeat to Lyon, Soyaux Angouleme putting a marker down against Dax, and Périgueux defy the rain for a bonus point win against Lille's finest. There's the normal round up of Top14 action in a round that saw the pace setters falter, food and brass band reviews from each of the grounds visited and more than a word on Alex Masibaka, whose Scotland called up

S2 EP23 - The French Did Turn Up

Rosbifs Rugby ·

2025/01/22

The group stages of European rugby are over, and it was a vintage one for the French sides with 12 progressing to the last 16 of both the Champions and Challenge Cups. Damian Penaud goes wild against the Sharks, Toulouse monster Leicester and their less heralded neighbours produce the shock of the round as unfancied Castres smash Saracens in North London. We've got ProD2 action to digest as George North makes his home debut, plus we'll be looking ahead to the first Rosbifs outing of 2025.00:00 -

S2 EP22 - Like Tackling Your Dad

Rosbifs Rugby ·

2025/01/14

The Champions and Challenge Cups were back, with La Rochelle and Leinster treating us another classic chapter in their burgeoning rivalry. Meanwhile it was a sweat bath in Durban and a bloodbath in Devon and Toulouse and Bordeaux cemented their positions as the best of the French pack. Can anyone stop Montpellier in the Challenge Cup? Perhaps Bayonne, who racked up points and air miles in Tblisi. ProD2 and Nationale are back, and the Marcel Michelin is transformed for a very special

S2 EP21 - The Kids Are Alright

Rosbifs Rugby ·

2025/01/07

New year, new kids on the block... the youth of Toulouse gave La Rochelle an almighty scare as the Marcel Deflandre goes 100 games sold out! The Rosbifs derby produced a nail-biter, Toulon and Baptiste Serin produced some artistry, and the impending return of Champions Cup action will no doubt produce some exquisitely mixed attempts from the French sides! As usual, we also tackle all the pressing issues of the day, including Dry January and Ballet dancers in the Biarritz Lineout.00:00 - 03:10

2024/12/31

At the halfway point of the Top14 season, we review an intriguing if foggy round of fixtures with notable wins for Montpellier and Pau, whilst Racing continue to shoot themselves in both feet. As we bid adieu to 2024, we reflect on the year that saw the trickle of British players to France become a tide and look ahead to what's on the menu in 2025. 00:00 - 09:05 Entrées 09:05 - 44:20 Top 14 Round 13 44:33 - 55:45 Reflections & Resolutions 55:58 - 1:02:43 Petit-Fours & Digestifs Learn more about

S2 EP19 - Christmas Cards

Rosbifs Rugby ·

2024/12/24

There wasn't much festive cheer in the Top14 this weekend, with good old fashioned scraps aplenty and yellow cards more abundant than undercooked sprouts, particularly at La Rochelle who battled out an epic against Father Christmas/Christoph Urios's Clermont. Lyon are frustrated by Toulouse, the PROD2 boys are lining up a well earned break, and there are three rounds of Rosbifs Christmas Quiz to tuck into.

2024/12/17

It's week 2 and amidst the Champions and Challengers, the French Big Hitters continue to put down a marker in 'Europe', with Toulouse, La Rochelle and Bordeaux putting in big showings across the board. How do you solve a problem like South Africa, and is the demise of quality competition in the Champions Cup really anything new? Stade Francais probably won't need to worry about the latter rounds as they descend further into the disciplinary doldrums, whilst Castres serve up an all time non-classic

S2 EP 17 - Ruthless La Rochelle, Breakneck Bordeaux

Rosbifs Rugby ·

2024/12/10

Round 1 of the Champions and Challenge Cup has passed, and there is so much rugby to digest! La Rochelle dispel the naysayers at a sodden Bath, Bordeaux turn on the style against a wily Tigers side, whilst Racing's Fijians bring the pain to Harlequins in Creteil. Amidst the glitz of Europe, ProD2 continued to serve up some crackers, begging the question what's more important, a solid defence or a tidy Instagram page? Plus the GOAT debate is reignited, but has Antoine Dupont hit enough Devon

S2 Bonus - Big European Preview

European Rugby is back baby! Loads of matches, loads of dramas, loads of brilliant cup shirts! We look ahead to whether any of the chasing French pack can mount a realistic challenge to Toulouse and preview the key 1st round encounters in the Champions Cup. As ever there's a sprinkling of travel looking ahead to potential European Cup and lower league double headers, it's a historic weekend (again) for Vannes with yards to travel, and who is Richard's outside bet for Challenge Cup glory?00:00 -

Rosbifs Rugby ·

2024/12/03

Slightly dazed from a long weekend watching European rugby somewhere other than France, we run through the best of the weekend's action. In a week of eye-catching away wins, Vannes produce the result of the season away at La Rochelle with Toulouse and Toulon doing the business in Paris and Perpignan. Down in PROD2, Grenoble continue to set the pace whilst Oyonnax are in freefall, and there's a remarkable tale of protest in the lower leagues in this week's Petit-Fours. Learn more about your ad

2024/11/26

We're reeling out the clichés this week, reflecting upon a highly promising autumn for Les Bleus after their convincing win over Argentina. Who were the winners and losers from the November tests, who has nailed down a 6 Nations berth and just how big a pay rise should the Stade de France events team be getting?! If that's not enough, the Top14 is back, and it was merry carnage followed by second-half heartbreak in Brittany, whilst France 7s plot their path to short-form domination following World

We're back from the Stade de France, mesmerised by bright lights of Paris and feeling grateful if a little dusty for a splendid weekend in the French Capital. France and New Zealand served up a belter full of intrigue, momentum swings and some cracking individual performances - we attempt to run the rule over the highlight of the Autumn series so far.
