S2 EP32 - El Simmonds'ico: The REAL English Rugby Derby

Rosbifs Rugby ·

2025/03/26

The Top 14 is back and taking centre stage, with the top three seemingly locked in, the bottom two are slowly being cut adrift and as for the rest, who knows! A Devonian army arrived in Pau, the pressure mounts further on Ronan O'Gara and there's some Parisian positivity at long last. Plus, we eagerly look forward to the return of Pro D2, a trip to Brittany is on the horizon, and just who from this Toulon side would make the best cooking companions?00:00 - 06:37 Entrées: Rosbif stuff & Rugby

2025/03/18

Fancy a 6 Nations podcast with no Lions Squad hot takes...?France have secured a superb Six Nations Championship under the bright lights in Paris, and we do our best to sum up the tournament despite having a slightly disgruntled Scottish fan in our midst. Who were the winners, the losers, the stock risers and those who have pushed themselves to the fringes? The U'20s matched their senior counterparts to secure an unlikely title with some serious prospects on show, and no sooner are the post

S2 EP30: No Dupont, No Problem

Rosbifs Rugby ·

2025/03/11

France overpower Ireland in Dublin in a stunning showing of brain and brawn with some less heralded names to the fore. There were antics aplenty in a Bordeaux infused back row and we try to get under the hood of the 'bench that shall not be named'. Amidst the gloom of Antoine Dupont's injury, ProD2 provided the weekend with some much needed levity, and our boys over in Castres have been channelling their inner rockstars... 00:00 - 02:55 Entrées 02:55 - 22:50 Ireland v France Review 22:50 - 26:56

2025/03/04

We are delighted to be joined by Wales Fly-Half, and one of the most talked about players in France, FC Grenoble's Sam Davies. The former Ospreys and Dragons out-half gives us a fascinating insight into challenges of ProD2, preparing for an Access Match and his decision to move to France from Wales, as well as where to find his outstanding gin on the slopes...

S2 EP28 - Roman Riot

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

Rosbifs Rugby ·

2025/02/18

With no 6 Nations to ponder, Top14 and ProD2 served up some a veritable feast of tries in a defining round as we enter the business end of the season. 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. ProD2 dished up points aplenty, rumours abound that Galthie has surprises aplenty up his sleeve, and as Rugby25 hits the shelves, which French players have been hard

The Jewel in the Rosbif crown, 'Le Crunch' was in town on Saturday with France falling by a single point at a raucous Twickenham, and we do our best to break down 80 minutes of chaos and where it leaves France now. ProD2 served up a round heavy on Away Day drama, plus there's U20s, Top14 preview and a bit of risky al fresco dining in the Petit-Fours.00:00 - 05:05 Entrées: Strictly Come Crunching 05:05 - 27:05 Six Nations Review: Le Crunch 27:05 - 32:03 U20s Six Nations: England v France 32:15 -

Les Bleus are back with a convincing win against Wales in the first round of the Six Nations, whilst England lie in wait at Twickenham. We get stuck into both of those fixtures and what is France's next move with a Romain Ntamack ban looming for the Le Crunch and beyond.

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 -

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

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

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.

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 ·

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?

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 -

S2 EP16 - Great Touch For A Big Man

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
