In this week's mini documentary I headed to Bordeaux to watch my Union Bordeaux-Begles (UBB) take on my team the Scarlets with a question: who is the most exciting rugby team in the world? I combine my experience at the stadium with some deep underlying stats to argue why I think UBB are the most exciting team in rugby. I compare them to Toulouse and, most importantly, I explain why Matthieu Jalibert is the most exciting player in the most exciting team. This rugby trip to Bordeaux was made during December 2025 for a Champions Cup match between UBB and the Scarlets.

The Champions Cup 2025–26 delivered one of its wildest results yet — and we're joined by Glasgow Warriors captain Kyle Steyn after his side produced a European classic, coming from 21–0 down to beat six-time champions Toulouse 28–21 at Scotstoun in a result that sent shockwaves across Europe.In this episode of Maul or Nothing, the Glasgow skipper gives inside insight straight from the dressing room, before we break down Round 2 of the Champions Cup, debate whether rotation is killing the competition, and ask who is actually taking Europe seriously.

The big shock of the weekend came up at Scotstoun as Glasgow stunned six-time champions Toulouse. Player of the Match Adam Hastings tells Ashy and Chris about their epic comeback and how the navigated the treacherous conditions at the ‘ice rink'. We also hear about Franco Smith's coaching style and if winning their opening two Champions Cup matches has changed their outlook on this year's tournament. Bath came unstuck at Toulon, Leinster scramble over the line against Leicester and Sale pick up a big win on the road. But there were still plenty of blowouts and low attendances in round two, would a 16-team competition solve the issue? There is plenty of transfer and contract chat as several players including Jac Morgan announce they're on the move next season. Ashy gives us a great insight into the complexities of the contract game and why there is always more than meets than eye.

Last night, Atlético Ottawa, Vancouver FC & Forge FC learned their first round opponents for the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup! Diego Mejía, Martin Nash and Bobby Smyrniotis joined us to break down their opponents and more.

Overall a really pleasing weekend for both Gloucester and Glos-Hartpury as they secured wins against difficult opposition. But the Bonus point victories were not as straightforward as they should have been. The Women struggled to put away an entertaining Ealing side, while the Men managed to secure 5 points despite having a shambolic lineout (Helped to a significant degree by Castres dreadful discipline).We chat through both games and do see the overwhelming positives especially considering the mis-firing set piece but do have serious concerns ahead of this weekends match in Cork against Munster. Jim and Ed also discuss the Rugby World Cup draw and the opportunities available for some of the Tier 2/3 nations to spring a surprise on the likes of Fiji, Italy and Wales.Ed PriceJim HarleyCherry Jam is proud to be sponsored by PGT LLP

The 2025 FC Cincinnati season is officially wrapped, and we're breaking down the key roster decisions, season takeaways, and what's next heading into 2026. Fourteen players hit the offseason with expiring contracts—FCC exercised options on Miazga, Hadebe, Anunga, Jimenez, Momba Dem, and Louro, while declining Smith, Marczuk, Kamara, and Kubo (who gets a huge thank-you after six unforgettable seasons). Negotiations continue with Powell and loan players Brenner, Jabbari, and Engel, leaving the roster at 21 heading into winter. We look back on everything FLP did in 2025—100 episodes, new guests, new merch, and partnerships with GOLZ TV and Chatterbox Sports—plus the club's 10-year celebrations, kit nods, alumni match, collectible pins, and the full tifo catalog. Our season review covers FCC's 24-8-13 campaign, another elite MLS record, big transfer hits in Evander, Denkey, and Engel, and how the club managed major injuries. We hand out awards (Evander's record goal tally, Roman's Save of the Year, Hagglund's Comeback honors, and more) before answering the big question: was 2025 a success? We also touch on the MLS postseason landscape, then look ahead to the 2026 offseason—Champions Cup draw (Dec. 9), free agency (Dec. 10), draft notes, potential targets, and how FCC navigates a tight cap with 3 DPs, 3 U22s, and six open senior roster spots. A pivotal winter awaits.
