Arrivals and exits: A country-by-country look at the Top 14's new signings

I can only assume this is a typo - the most recent news I can find on him is his extension to 2028 back in April, he’s not included on any transfer pages I can see, and he’s still listed on UBB’s website.

Talks to open over Sam Prendergast's future at Leinster

Em, Frawley has left Leinster for Connacht. It was pretty well publicized, surprised you missed it…..

Carbery is back at Leinster though and is an OH option.

Rassie does strike me as a very open kind of human being, which is all to his credit in the often secretive world of coaching!!

'The phoney war on the Greatest Rivalry tour is already gale-force in its intensity.'

Klopper is one of the best young scrummagers in South Africa and he started in the URC knockouts, so Nunia acquitted himself well against a good opponent. Lomax looked like he was getting into his work, so hope for next Saturday!

'I think the Springboks will see that' : How SA could expose the All Blacks

The Bulls coach is stating the bleeding obvious. Just a lot of talk without actually saying anything. Does he think Rennie is an idiot?

The All Blacks know perfectly well that the Boks will present a much tougher challenge than Ackerman’s team. If that’s all he had to say…

Well played both teams. NZ owned the whistle and it all went their way. Bulls were good. I’m hoping NZ beat the Springboks however, I think that the Boks may lose the first test and then return the favour with interest on the next two. NZ lacking in key areas, still quality and hopefully they can mask their deficiency’s to win the series.

Taniela Tupou on Wallabies’ try-scoring history, France and Eddie Jones

TT, my favourite player. So great to see him dominating and, more importantly, enjoying his Rugby. Number one prop in the world.

Wallabies player ratings vs Japan | Flight Centre Series 2026

I suspect the same. I think he would be a handy wing option for the Wallabies. He would be handy with the box kicking we use to get ourselves down the field. Talk about having him at 12 but I do like the idea of him and Tom Wright on the counter attack.

'I think the Springboks will see that' : How SA could expose the All Blacks

Scotland were beaten by 14 points. There are likely 4 of the 15 starting players in that game that will start on Saturday. 3 of the bench players against Scotland will likely be in Saturday's match 23.

How is your comment valid when you don't think that anything can be concluded based on yesterday's game?

Argentina exposed boks last week-end so We overrate much boks . No doubt that Rennie will see boks weaknesses. In july , Scotland exposed them also in test match with their style fast so imagine with the All Blacks quality and high tempo !!!

It was the All blacks B or C and not good conclusion for this. Rennie knows that There is work to do but less that before because All Blacks improve game by game .

Do You believe that Rennie wont see boks weaknesses vs argentina last week-end ??🤣🤣🤣

The Allblacks will also turn up knowing they are not playing a club anymore and that team the bulls played wont be exactly the team to play boks.
