    Feb 18 2025
    With no 6 Nations to ponder, Top14 and ProD2 served up some a veritable feast of tries in a defining round as we enter the business end of the season. The Battle at the Bottom is looking congested following Vannes' stirring performance in Paris, whilst Toulouse re-assert their big-boy status with an imposing performance in Clermont. ProD2 dished up points aplenty, rumours abound that Galthie has surprises aplenty up his sleeve, and as Rugby25 hits the shelves, which French players have been hard done by...? 00:00 - 06:40 Entrées: Podcasts & Programming 06:40 - 10:30 Top 14: Looking Up or Looking Down? 10:30 - 25:05 Top 14: Battle at the Bottom 25:05 - 31:53 Top 14: Top of the Table (Interlude 31:41 to 31:53) 31:53 - 33:50 Nationale Nibbles 33:50 - 49:25 Pro D2 Festival de Points (Interlude 49:25 to 49:38) 49:38 - 01:04:38 Petit-Fours & Digestifs Learn more about your ad choices.

    Les Bleus are back with a convincing win against Wales in the first round of the Six Nations, whilst England lie in wait at Twickenham. We get stuck into both of those fixtures and what is France's next move with a Romain Ntamack ban looming for the Le Crunch and beyond. Plus there's the usual round up of the remnants of domestic action, the Stuart Lancaster saga, and a new Biere Peche ambassador has come to the fore... 00:00 - 03:00 Entrées 03:00 - 09:17 6 Nations Round 1: France v Wales Review 09:17 - 23:08 A Certain Romain-ce 23:08 - 31:41 Apéritif: England v France Preview 31:41 - 38:54 U20s 6 Nations Round 1 39:07 - 41:06 Nationale Nibbles 41:06 - 42:53 Pro D2 42:53 - 49:52 The Fall of the House of Lancaster 49:52 - 56:26 Petit-Fours & Digestifs Learn more about your ad choices.

    Fresh off the back of the first Rosbifs trip of 2025, we have on the ground reports across all three leagues, as we dive deep into Bordeaux's shock defeat to Lyon, Soyaux Angouleme putting a marker down against Dax, and Périgueux defy the rain for a bonus point win against Lille's finest. There's the normal round up of Top14 action in a round that saw the pace setters falter, food and brass band reviews from each of the grounds visited and more than a word on Alex Masibaka, whose Scotland called up has surprised a few... unless you saw him on Friday night! 00:00 - 01:55 Entrées 01:55 - 14:45 Rosbifs' Report from Bordeaux: UBB v Lyon 14:45 - 20:20 Top 14 Round 15 review - part 1 20:20 - 26:08 Racing 92 v Castres & Owen Farrell 26:08 - 28:25 Top 14 Round 15 review - part 2 28:25 - 35:55 Rosbifs' Report from Périgueux: Nationale Round 17 35:55 - 37:30 Pro D2 Round 18 review 37:30 - 46:56 Rosbifs' Report from Angouleme: SAXV v Dax 46:56 - 49:46 Petit-Fours & Digestifs Learn more about your ad choices.

    The group stages of European rugby are over, and it was a vintage one for the French sides with 12 progressing to the last 16 of both the Champions and Challenge Cups. Damian Penaud goes wild against the Sharks, Toulouse monster Leicester and their less heralded neighbours produce the shock of the round as unfancied Castres smash Saracens in North London. We've got ProD2 action to digest as George North makes his home debut, plus we'll be looking ahead to the first Rosbifs outing of 2025. 00:00 - 03:30 Entrées: Carbon Offsetting Champions Cup Round 4 03:30 - 06:45 Champions Cup Hors d'oeuvres 06:45 - 12:25 Toulouse v Leicester 12:25 - 19:00 Saracens v Castres 19:00 - 25:00 Clermont v Bristol 25:00 - 40:55 Champions Cup State of Play & Challenge Cup Round 4 41:07 - 52:03 Pro D2 Round 17 52:16 - 56:20 Controversies: Jegou/Auradou 56:20 - 1:04:21 Petit-Fours & Digestifs Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Champions and Challenge Cups were back, with La Rochelle and Leinster treating us another classic chapter in their burgeoning rivalry. Meanwhile it was a sweat bath in Durban and a bloodbath in Devon and Toulouse and Bordeaux cemented their positions as the best of the French pack. Can anyone stop Montpellier in the Challenge Cup? Perhaps Bayonne, who racked up points and air miles in Tblisi. ProD2 and Nationale are back, and the Marcel Michelin is transformed for a very special evening...
