Sione Tuipulotu said he left Australia because he was not good enough. He would walk into the Wallabies midfield to face the All Blacks on Saturday.
Instead, he begins his attempt to make history with his adopted home

Jack Singleton has signed for Glasgow Warriors.
I spoke to Jack a couple of months ago about his determination to play again after suffering a heart attack - and to make the most of a second chance that his father never had.
Good luck to him.

📢 Bristol Bears will offer NFL-style post-match media access at every home game, with the full squad and coaching staff available for interview straight from the changing room.
A new mixed zone alongside the home changing room at Ashton Gate will give journalists and broadcasters immediate reaction from across the Bears squad, opening up more of the stories and personalities behind each performance.

French clubs have publicly backed plans to reduce the Champions Cup to 16 teams to make the competition more “elitist”. There is widespread belief that the present arrangement is unwieldy and must go ⬇️

Few thoughts on the financial health of club rugby. Some fundamental changes required.
From Ireland to Australia, rugby clubs operate in a centrally planned economy where no one has the incentive to make the professional game a success
