Worth saying, Crowley AND Prendergast have already had more caps than Sexton had at this stage of his career!

Vannes' home game with Grenoble on November 16 is set to be moved to Rennes' football ground of Roazhon Park

It holds 29,000 seats, proper big time

The Bretons had talked about holding a match there last season

This is not surprising in the slightest, since Gulf money bailed out the Barclays to the tune of £600 million in debt relief. The UAE wanted to take over the paper, but were prevented by British law, and now own a passive stake of 15%, but presumably exert disproportionate influence.

As an aside: i’m told by a rugby journo friend that at every press briefing world rugby gave during the world cup just gone the Time asked about R360 - it feels like there is a connection somewhere between the organisation and the media

Translated….things aren’t going so well in Japan. I’ve burned every other bridge in rugby. I might need a coaching gig soon.

Toulouse are objectively playing well but they have world class players on massive money and they’re up against a UBB C team

Its hard to find this exciting
