La Nuit du Rugby (the Night of Rugby), what a classy name for what is an utterly boring, dull & cringe awards ceremony.

Still, it's the one opportunity we have every year to recognise and celebrate the best French teams, players and coaching staffs.

Here's my take on this year's ceremony.

This week on the show:


Sad news coming out of Racing92 about French international Virimi Vakatawa
The big dogs already on top after round 2 of the Top14
Some French internationals already on fire

Another summer has gone alas but that means rugby is back to business in Europe!

Top 14 teams have been very busy over the summer as usual, with big names coming and leaving, coaching changes and French internationals playing musical chairs. This year is make or break for many players looking to make the World Cup squads but there's still a whole season of club rugby to be played first..

What a time to be talking French rugby, welcome to the podcast!
