Six Nations chief of rugby Julie Paterson said: “The opportunity to take women’s rugby to new heights next year cannot be overstated.

“Having the spotlight on women’s rugby in 2025 can benefit the entire game, its players, and the fans.

“For the Guinness Women’s Six Nations to kick off such a significant stage in the trajectory of the women’s game feels both fitting and exciting in equal measure.”

‘We don’t fear them’: Blitzboks ready for must-win clash with SVNS leaders

I started getting into Bitcoin in late 2020 when the price was nearly at 30,000 USD, back at the time I was just following the footsteps of my friend, she saw it as a good long-term plan and I was on board with it so we started buying bit by bit at the end of every Month. Now fast forward to January 2023 when she came up with the great idea to go into crypto trading, this was supposed to be our game changer, we already accumulated a nice amount of Bitcoin since we started holding so once we invested with that we would make more than enough profits to last us and we won’t have to work anymore, amazing plan until it all went wrong, we invested with the wrong broker company that made away with all of our investments.. the agent blocked us Instagram and disappeared leaving us in the dark but all thanks to Infinite Digital Recovery, getting in contact with Infinite Digital Recovery made it possible that we recovered back our money today, it took him less than 48hours to trace the transactions and accessed the company website database to recover our already hanging funds in our account, it was then we found out they continued trading with our Money and kept generating more profits, very fraudulent act and we made sure to take every penny of ours thanks to Infinite Digital Recovery, You can also reach out to Infinite Digital Recovery for help for anyone in a similar situation, the contact details are below :

'We offered him a three-year deal': Hurricanes priced out of U20 star

Exactly. He'll get game time for Toulon at some stage next year. If not, they might loan him out to a ProD2 club where he plays every game against men. Much better than the NPC and a real opportunity to show himself and develop.

Why French rugby would be poorer if Ronan O'Gara leaves La Rochelle

Just to point out that Ireland ‘testing themselves against the best’ in 2022, was one a principle contributions to NZ eliminating them in 2023. France can beat NZ anyway: why go under their microscope?

I agree re O’Gara and La Rochelle: two Champions Cup wins is unprecedented.

The mention somewhere about his relationship with players was after a defeat last year where he admitted going hard on them eroded his confidence. He has a great relationship with his players.

What fake news ??!!! They are his own various declarations.

That’s my last reply as you really want to make a point despite more complex reality, insisting on your own theory of home-grown coaches…

Strangely enough I never read an article on or a detailed interview in Rugby Pass of Ugo Mola who is the best coach in Top 14 (and put in place the best rugby ecosystem which is consistently growing top players). But he is an home-grown coach…

Are you sure they were not fake news as in the Midi Olympique story?

Still not a reason to sack him after he’s achieved EPCR wins other home-grown coaches can only dream about…

Why French rugby would be poorer if Ronan O'Gara leaves La Rochelle

Edwards was the biggest single influence in the style of play, which began to revolve around strong defence and countering off turnover ball. It is still the way France plays now, just look at the tries scored and conceded, and he low number pf phases taken to score…

Sure ROG has made his share of mistakes he has a winning pedigree at the highest level - and where do you get the idea he has a problem with his players??

I am glad to hear at least that French journos see the missed opportunity in July! There i still time to reverse the likely squad selection criteria…

'We offered him a three-year deal': Hurricanes priced out of U20 star

He’s French and he’s been siphoned off by France…?

Apart from the money (which we have no info of for now), there are way more games between the Top14 and the European cups to get some game time compared to SR. With 29 games of Top14 for those who qualify in the top 6 and play the final, plus the potential of 8 Europan cups games, that’s almost 37.

Many 18/19/20 year old French already play in the Top14 or those cups, sometimes in the U20 6 Nations or World Cup, with a high level of rotation.

The guy was quite ahead in his development, playing during the 2024 6 Nations, he was said to be tested for the Argentina summer tour. And no SR game time.

So I guess that between not getting opportunities to play in the Super Rugby and entering the rotation of a top 3 French team, money isn’t the only thing that could motivate him.

At Toulon, Corentin Mézou is a year younger than Tuifua and has already played in 2 U20 6 Nations, 1 U20 World Cup and played in 5 games for Toulon this season in Top14.

If you read the French rugby media you will discover that ROG has been admitting himself after various games since the beginning of the Top 14 season that he has been struggling to motivate his players and made mistakes in his handling of young talented players in particular. Unlike other coaches ROG is very honest. But in the same time his whole communication has not been consistent in the last weeks and a bit naive not bringing necessarily a lot of confidence.

What player issues are you talking about? Everything I’ve read talks about how strong the connections are between Club, players and their families?

And yes, when the Top 14 finishes in June, restarts in September and requires 8wks for rest/preseason, there is no tour solution.
