🏉 **Scarlets Update on Archer Holz**: After a nerve-wracking moment against Bristol Bears, Archer Holz of the Scarlets gave everyone a scare when he left the field on a stretcher. Good news, though! Scarlets confirmed he’s recovering well from his injury and is expected back in action this month. 🙌
💥 **Etzebeth’s Controversial Timeout**: Eben Etzebeth’s 12-week suspension for eye-gouging might just be a blessing in disguise for him and the Springboks.

His suspension doesn’t affect any Test matches, with South Africa’s next international fixture scheduled for July 2026.
