Was thinking okay Lan us cleaning up the mess thank goodness no what are you doing ah Ry don’t know who he thought was oh okay this week we are back to normal programming I have had my holiday and I have made my long video but now we must

All suck it up and get back on the grind the grind in this instance being a seemingly endless number of games in the Euro African Champions Cup Friday night a lifetime ago if I strain my m I think I can remember people called Courtney Freeman and Tom Smith scoring

Freely for the Saints they batted Champions Cup newbi Bayon by 61 points to 14 when you are tackling at 81% and letting Leon make 12 clean breaks and beat 37 Defenders you are going to have a bad time 37 Defenders that’s two entire Rugby teams plus seven bench

Replacements conak paid the price in a 34 to20 loss as they should for that effort the Chiefs Warriors game came down to a final call by the referee that snatched Victory out of the visitor’s hands honestly there’s about five things the refs could have called as penalties

For both teams in that last scrum but in this timeline it meant the Chiefs hung on for a dramatic 19-7 win tulon versus moner on a Saturday night I have been told that this is a big deal what I do know is Monster beating a stacked ton

Away from home is good 18 to 29 for the tough Irish visitors rooting the challenge Cup champions to the bottom of their pool probably because of that challenge cup stank on them the Bulls traveled to Bristol next to take on the struggling bears and there must be a

Bunch of yakas growing in Bristol cuz the Bulls did not have that deer in headlights look they usually get when they are playing abroad a strong scrum paved the way for a 17-31 win and Jake white happy to have secured the services of wow in Petoria another game another

Scrum lesson from the sappers this time the storm is big boys taught Young Sale Prospect aser that there’s still plenty to learn and even with Le and Z’s gimme the stormers always looked comfortable it all ended at 31 points to 24 and the storm is well on their way to the last

16 at the same time lster were taking on St France in Dublin all the big blue boys were there and they did to a second string stud team what you would expect a first string lster team to do 43-7 all but confirming their qualification for The Knockouts whoo is wellsh be the only

Team from camri in the Champions Cup epitomized The Melancholy in a tough night against the visiting Holo quins 15 points to 54 for the visitors in front of a packed out Cardiff arms Park someone please just give the Welsh teams some cash I did not catch oler hosting

To lose in Belfast live but through osmosis I could tell that that little freak was putting on a show again 24 points to 48 the final score and to lose looking like the other big team along with lell and lster the game of the weekend was in both between both and

Rling 92 and I think I need to stop watching russling play because every time I do they lose and then I feel like I’ve let sea down and do you know what it feels like to let sea down it feels bad anyway a back and forth battle ended

With both coming out on top 29 Points to 25 Yan fanan is Making Waves in both wait that works o lell had a bit of that backlash in them hey they lost last time out against the stormers and they just bottled up all that anger and pain and

Took it out on the Tigers this weekend I don’t know if the Tigers were at half strength but 45 to 12 is painful no matter how many tackle bags you usually hold during the season even more o why are these French sides so angry at the English Bordeaux unleashed the best

Backline in Europe Africa on a stacked looking sens and absolutely pasted them by 55 points to 15 there is plenty this is the end of the Saron Dynasty going around but I would rather focus on how utterly incredibly well Bordeaux is playing right now a few more results

Like that and they might be joining to lose lster and lelle as the big four of the Champions Cup that would be pretty cool and those were the pretty cool results from the weekend at least in any competition that won’t give you Wilder’s eye when you look at

It okay let me just take the hit and read out the results from the rising mass that is the challenge cup so that you don’t have to pen smashed the Falcons the ospre whooped perpar the Sharks dominated oxs in a game about as intense as floating on a pool clont

Breeze P the Scarlets zebra beat the dragons the Italian budgets starting to bear fruit cast beat black lion Edinburgh threw it away against glester montellier had the greatest upset in their history of sport by beating a second string Lions and the cheetah walk straight out of an Amsterdam coffee shop

Into a loss to pow okay I need to go take a shower oh that feels much better okay on to the news H the big news this week is that incredible amounts of sanity have prevailed and Andy Farrell has been named as the head coach of the British

And Irish lons for the tour to Australia in 2025 and with that news my wish is that the 2015 England coaching staff all reunite to wreck terrible revenge on the wbees for that World Cup Owen better be captain and Mike Brown must be the back and I want Chris robshaw to be involved

In some way maybe he can wash the doll wishes come in thre so my second one is that anyone posting lion squads before the 2025 Six Nations is over must have their internet search history made public it is the only just punishment not much other news mostly just transfer

Rumors really Owen Ferell might be leaving the English premiership Courtney laws might be leaving the English premiership manuu lagi might be leaving the English premiership Andre Esten might be leaving the English premiership Ruan Akerman might be leaving the English premiership Johnny Hill might be leaving the English premiership Lewis

Ladin might be leaving the English premiership and Kyle Sinkler might be leaving the English premiership luckily the English premiership has lured the star power of Thomas Williams and maybe even Adan way they could not however capture the services of Mason Grady it sure does look like it’s the start of a

Sea change in English rugby maybe the salaries are correcting themselves a bit after the co affected 4year cycle what it does do is open up some spots for young players to F in those teams that the big boys are leaving we’ll see if it does well for England in the future but

Not this week this week’s rugby update is done I will see you all next week after the Bulls versus Bordeaux game turns into an 80 points a piece world record Thriller by
