Thank goodness for that 😅 Obvs it’s fun seeing these Toulouse stars having to go elsewhere. I’m sure fans of other teams are enjoying them actually keeping to the salary cap, but it would have been lunacy to let Meafou go. Even if you had to pay 10-15% of your salary cap, he’d still be worth it

Wow, Mignoni and Fiji Rugby not what you’d call natural bedfellows… Fiji looking for a coach who can whip their pack and their defence into shape and give them more grunt? Cant see it working…

It seems that Mignoni did indeed fall on his sword, whether that was for personal reasons or because he felt he’d taken the team as far as he could.

🅾️ We have our first nilling of the season! Toulon are now just 1 win from 5 games. Previous 3 defeats can be pinned on bad luck (total margin of defeat = 4pts). But ultimately, with that squad, they should be doing a lot better. Will have to be a seismic shift of some sort…

#Top14 | Round 5 🔮 Despite plenty of intrigue, its full agreement on lots of home wins this week, with a rampant Pau a decent away shout. Vannes haven't been miles off though and a Rabine storm is surely on the horizon. Castres will fancy it in the derby, a young Toulouse may have other ideas...

Rich is currently in the club boutique at USAP and I’m asking him to get me a couple of items to bring back with him. I’ve said I will transfer him the €399 for the USAP Stand Up Paddle board, but I’m worried he might not fit it in his hand luggage… 🏄

🚨SOUND THE ALARM🚨 All home wins in Pro D2! ⚠️ After a staggering FIVE away wins last week, you can always expect Pro D2 to revert to type the following week. 😂 For the first time this season, and not a hugely surprising set of results. Pro D2 starting to take shape!

Rosbifs Rugby @rosbifsrugby.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

#Top14 Predictions | Round 4🔮 Rich is at the opener, so we’re backing an improving USAP. Hard not to go all home wins, but Rob has a hunch on a draw, Rich must be feeling the impact of last night’s beers going for Vannes… But shorter odds on that than MHR revenge for the final on Sunday evening!

We called out Gabin Lorre as a ‘Player to Watch’ last season. He had a fairly quiet season and we were a bit underwhelmed. Maybe we just went too early - he’s having a cracking start to this season!
