France wing Damian Penaud has been included in their 42-man squad that will prepare to take on England in round two of the Guinness Six Nations after missing the 43-0 win over Wales on Friday.

The Bordeaux-Begles wing, who has been in sensational scoring form this season, was forced to withdraw from the opening match of the Championship with a muscle injury, but is poised to return at Twickenham’s Allianz Stadium, where he scored two tries in a 10-53 win two years ago.

Another player to score a brace in 2023, lock Thibaud Flament, remains out.

Romain Ntamack has been included in Fabien Galthie’s squad despite receiving a red card against Wales at the Stade de France, with a potential ban looming.

Carol Isherwood appointed to historic Lions role

Unfortunately Helena has suffered injuries at bad times which has meant she has often then not nailed down a starting place but shes certainly good enough to. Thinking about it ,im pretty sure there will not be a mid week team with mid week games.There are only 4 super aupiki teams and you would imagine a few of these will be warm up games for the main team on saturdays. Given even some of these players are amateurs-I can not see it being very likely they will also come up with mid week opposition for mid week games. so expect to see a squad of 30 rather than 35-38

Springbok flyhalf one of two players hospitalised

After months of trading on a platform that seemed reputable, I suddenly found that my account had been locked, and my entire balance of $700,000 USDT had disappeared. I felt helpless and embarrassed. I reached out to a few firms, but no one could offer me a solution until I found TheHackersPro,com.

Their team of blockchain forensic experts dove straight into the investigation, identifying the rogue platform and tracking the stolen funds. Within 48 hours, they had identified the wallets involved, and after working tirelessly with international authorities, my assets were recovered.

What impressed me the most was how they managed the entire process without drawing unnecessary attention or alerting the perpetrators. My funds were returned with complete confidentiality, and I was also given tips on securing my assets better moving forward.

Thanks to TheHackersPro,com, I was able to reclaim my funds and restore my peace of mind.

Rassie Erasmus explains Felix Jones' 'different' Springboks role

Rassie for President! Of World Rugby!


Van Graan?


I can dig Felix if Rassie nominates him. He recommended Felix to take his place at Munster.


Would we accept a non-Saffer?


I think we would. Especially if he has three WC medals. Who would be more qualified for the job than that?


I don’t think Felix is bringing his family to SA insomuch as they are clambering to get the FUQ out of Ireland. Have you ever been there? You turn translucent and amphibious after long enough. Lose your mind like Turlough.


Dry land is not a myth!

Jettisoning your best attacking player makes no sense – Andy Goode

Indeed. Countries with smaller playing bases like Scotland take whatever players they have and build their strategy around them. Borthwick is determined to do the opposite… as have a lot of previous England coaches to be fair. We're squandering the talent we have to play rugby from 2009. Oh well the cycle continues, we'll grin and bear another year or so before Borthwick inevitably gets sacked and they will turn to a foreign coach again after previously proclaiming an English coach was required.

Why the Celtic Challenge is giving Irish talent a runway ahead of Women's Six Nations

It’s hard to imagine the frustration and helplessness a 65-year-old person with limited computer skills must feel when facing the aftermath of a crypto scam. Recovering a hacked trading wallet can feel like a nightmare, especially when every step seems to lead you into an endless loop of failed solutions. That’s exactly what I went through over the past four weeks. After my trading wallet was compromised, the hacker changed my email address, password, and even removed my phone number from the account. In a last-ditch effort, I turned to Google and stumbled upon a review about MUYERN TRUST HAC KER. I was skeptical, like anyone would be in my position. But the glowing reviews, especially from people with similar experiences, gave me a glimmer of hope. Despite my doubts, I decided to reach out to them for assistance. The team at MUYERN TRUST HAC KER immediately put me at ease. The fact that they were willing to schedule a 25-minute session to help me properly secure my account after recovery was invaluable. Today, I’m grateful to say that my stolen crypto has been fully recovered, and my account is secure again. This experience has taught me that sometimes, even when you feel like all hope is lost, there’s always a way to fight back. Reach out to MUYERN TRUST HAC KER. Even if you’ve already tried everything, their expertise and persistence might just be the solution you need. Te leg ram at muyerntrusthackertech

Did I read correctly that he’s bringing his family with him this time? You may be right BS. Mind you, having a bit of a Vrystaat background myself even if I’m a pom by birth, I reckon Franco Smith is the one to take over from Rassie who should go onto being the next WR chairman (can you imagine… the Posh Boys wouldn’t allow that for sure but I live in hope).

Felix could succeed Rassie at the boks. That may be the long term plan for him if he’s in for the long haul.


Felix made it clear that the environment at the boks is special.

You’re asking a lot of this English Coaching team, Beaver.


Innovate? I think this coaching team has no ideas. So they’re copying 2019 playbooks.


Imagine what a really innovative coach could do with this England team….


…


That’s what is being jettisoned for retaining the services of SB. It’s actually ridiculous.
