International rugby is back in full force with the June tours, Nations Cup, and World Rugby u20 Championship all proving eventful over the past week. There were still a few domestic players to watch in the PRO match in Ohio and the Top 14 knockouts, but most eyes were on …

While much of the European club season is winding down, we still had a full slate of Top 14 action to pine over and of course PRO Rugby, the Pro D2 final, the Canadian Rugby Championship, and the match between Chile and the Argentina XV. Next week we’ll have the …

It’s been one heckuva busy week already and there’s so much more to get to, but we still have enough time to fit in our picks from the past weekend’s action. A couple big finals in the UK, two matches in the USA, Pro D2 semi-finals in France and a …

It wasn’t a great week for the fortunes of Americas players. Few were found in starting lineups across Europe and fewer stood out. The Jaguares weren’t especially sharp against the Blues either, but we think we’ve managed to staple together a half-decent XV between the North and the South. 1 …

We had a virtually full slate of Americas professionals on offer this past weekend which left a lot to look over, but overall it wasn’t a great week for our exports. Many of the European players came up short and Los Jaguares were below par against the Stormers. A couple …
