A disappointing weekend for Prem Rugby
A middling one for the TOP14
A great one for the URC

Had the pleasure of seeing some incredible performances from my Toulouse beaus, but that was something very special.
Mentally toughness of the highest order and an absolute masterclass of versatility from the great man, Dupont.

Phenomenal.
