Weekend Round-Up: Fight At The Top Of The Premiership Table
By Calum Henderson
Catch up on the best of the weekend’s games on Rugby Pass, including defending Premiership champions Saracens hosting undefeated Wasps, defending Pro12 champions Connacht facing undefeated Ulster, the Paris derby and the end of the Rugby Championship.
Aviva Premiership: Saracens vs Wasps
Undefeated Premiership leaders Wasps buzzed into Allianz Park on Sunday with a chance to establish themselves as the new elite of English rugby against defending champs Saracens. For members of both teams this was also a chance to put their hands up for England selection ahead of the November internationals. After an enjoyable and evenly-fought first half one man in particular came off the bench and gave Eddie Jones and co some serious food for thought with a game-turning brace of tries.
TRC: South Africa vs New Zealand
The All Blacks got into Bonus Point position just after half time with their third try scored by Israel Dagg – his second of the night. But regular penalties from the boot of Morne Steyn and a shocking night at the tee from Beauden Barrett kept the Springboks in touching distance, and even after Barrett crossed the line for his side’s fourth try the Springboks only trailed by 7 points. Would the last 30 minutes of the Rugby Championship for these two sides see a South African comeback or the All Blacks hold on to complete a perfect tournament?
Top 14: Racing 92 vs Stade Francais
The Paris derby at Stade Yves Du Manoir saw a struggling Racing 92 host a Stade Francais side coming in hot off a win against La Rochelle last weekend. An early and typically predatory try to Juan Imhoff was ruled out by frequent penalties from the boot of Stade’s Julien Dupuy before Julien Arias crossed just before halftime to give the visitors the lead at the break. But a tense second half which saw yellow cards dished to both sides ended up going right down to the wire.
Pro12: Connacht vs Ulster
Ulster travelled south for Friday night’s game against Connacht as the only remaining unbeaten team in the Guinness Pro12 through the first five rounds of the season. The defending champions had only one win to their name, but when Jack Carty crossed for a try inside two minutes to give them a lead they would carry into halftime, it looked like this could be the night they turned their season around.

Thanks, JM.
Go to commentsHello, I'm Jack Frampton from San Antonio, Texas. I want to share my story of how I fell victim to a crypto Ponzi scheme when I came across a phony website pretending to be a genuine crypto exchange, I never knew they created a fake exchange page where their victims deposit cryptos in the hope of their huge profits unknowingly that they were being conned. Morphohack Cyber Service made me realize that I was a victim of these scams after I contacted them when this same exchange website refused to let me withdraw my crypto funds. I was devastated and contacted Morphohack Cyber Service who was able to recover my crypto funds and told me about this scam. I would advise people out there to be more careful and do their due diligence before investing in crypto.
