For those wondering Jean-Yves Zebago still does his trademark slam dunk try celebration every time he scores for 🇧🇫 Burkina Faso. Here he was in the recent Rugby Africa 7s competition. Still find it remarkable he can consistently slam the ball down like this without dropping it.

To celebrate his try vs 🇦🇺 Australia being nominated for World Rugby try of the year 🇬🇪 Georgia wing Akaki Tabutsadze scored another very similar one today vs 🇹🇴 Tonga (albeit merely from 80 rather than 100 metres out this time). His 41st try in 44 caps.

Check out these highlights of France U20 vs NZ U20 from yesterday. 5 of first 6 tries of the game are a non-contested 5m lineout followed by a maul shielding a front rower at the back. This is anti the Union principle of a contest of possession and COMPLETE TACTICAL MONOTONY.

Check out the highlights of Scotland U20 vs Argentina U20. It is just repeated tries between the two sides off the back of mauls or penalty advantages of mauls. As have been saying the balance between attack and defence is off and we have TOTAL TACTICAL MONOTONY inside the 22.

Former 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England back row James Haskell: "if I had an option to watch an NRL or State of Origin or a Union game I'd probably choose NRL at the moment". If he really feels this way about the sport then why doesn't he just go and watch and comment on Super League instead?

Stephen Donald "expert" analysis on the 🇫🇷 France team: "I still couldn't tell you the names of them". In 🇳🇿 New Zealand rugby is the #1 sport, their players & coaches travel the world, yet still have a parochial rugby culture that is utterly ill informed about the global game.

Eddie Jones says obvious reality about why 🇯🇵 Japan has to give up a home game vs 🇮🇪 Ireland to play at a neutral venue of Newcastle. Tier 1 Unions are selfish and run the sport in an incredibly biased way towards themselves and don't care about sporting values like fairness.

Remember when 19 y/o 🇬🇪 Niniashvili dumped 🇿🇦 Etzebeth backwards then got up and easily stopped 🇿🇦 Kolbe. Etzebeth then cheap shotted him with charge to back of the head forcing him off concussed. Lost respect for Etzebeth for that scumbag play. Ought to have been straight red.

"Rugby must be more open" Reposting this interview clip from 2022 with Georgia captain Merab Sharikadze. Everything he says is spot on. As mentioned before the sport desperately needs more people who share these principles in its leadership.

The 🤡 Nigel Owens says Georgian talents like Niniashvili "would not really add anything" to 6N and lied that they got "beaten very comfortably by Italy recently". Georgia's rise one of greatest stories in rugby yet "Tier 1" establishment just spits on it.

🧵 FLASHBACK THREAD: three of biggest low IQ plays from the career of Donncha O'Callaghan. Who else remembers when O'Callaghan greedily butchered a 4 vs 1 overlap for Lions vs New Zealand in 2005? One of worst butcherings of an overlap ever seen in many years watching rugby.

Got to laugh at Tindall here criticising Prem for "a half empty stadium" and for a game being "not a great game of rugby". Guarantee the R360 plan would have plenty of "half empty stadiums", in no sport is every game a classic, and "spunking" money is exactly what R360 is doing.

Eddie Jones: 🇿🇦 South Africa benefits from having so many players in 🇯🇵 Japan because "it's a bit less arduous on their bodies, they get good training time in, plenty touches of the ball [...] they come back refreshed look at Malcolm Marx [...] it's a massive advantage for them".

Last month 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe decided to enter a few of their top 15s backs into the Rugby Africa 7s tournament. So checked footage to see how Edward Sigauke did and sure enough he was excellent at 7s scoring 9 tries in 6 games. Here he is scorching 🇿🇦 South Africa from 75 metres out.
