🏉 Rugby fans, hold onto your seats! The Dragons pulled off a stunning 36-31 win against Stade Francais in the Challenge Cup, leaving fly-half Louis Foursans-Bourdette fuming at his team’s “shameful” display. The Dragons surged ahead with a 17-0 lead, but Stade fought back, only for the Dragons to snatch victory in the dying seconds with a try from former Wales prop Wyn Jones. Foursans-Bourdette voiced his frustration post-match, admitting disbelief that his side was outplayed by the Welsh underdogs. 🎉
Meanwhile, England faces a front row dilemma just as they gear up for the Nations Championship. Sale Sharks’ stars Luke Cowan-Dickie and Bevan Rodd are likely benched after suffering injuries during their win over Harlequins. Sale’s boss Alex Sanderson confirmed the grim news, pointing to a challenging road ahead for England coach Steve Borthwick as they prep to take on heavyweights like the Springboks. 😬
