Ep. 156 : Opération Bouclier ! Finale Pro D2 , Finale Elite 1 et Multiplex Top 14Retour en France après la folie européenne de l'UBB ! Le Pack de Potes s'est penché sur le berceau du rugby féminin et a vu naître des championnes dont le TUC en Fédérale 2 et les Lionnes en Elite 1. Amelie Mahé, notre "Mama Nonu" à nous, sera avec nous pour conter cette histoire de famille, de sport, et un exploit absolument rare et inspirant ! Côté garçons, la finale de Pro D2 a accouché d'une sacrée surprise avec le sacre de Montauban et le passage au travers des Grenoblois fébriles courant après le score et coupables d'une incroyable boulette sur pénalité à 5m de la ligne dans le money time. Une défaite en finale pour la 3eme fois d'affilée pour Grenoble !! Difficile d'être optimistes pour le match de la montée dans une semaine contre le 13e du top 14 : USAP !En Top 14, enfin, la saison touche à sa fin ! Fin cruelle pour des Vannetais méritants de bout en bout mais qui paient cash quelques fins de matches ratées dans lesquelles ils ont laissé échapper de précieux points.. C'est donc Perpignan, vainqueur de Toulouse, qui a gagné le droit de barrer la route aux grenoblois, attention au match piège ! Le Stade Français, quant à lui, a évité le pire en venant à bout de Castres et restera bien dans la meilleur championnat de rugby du monde pour 2026.Pour accrocher le toujours espéré wagon du Top 6 enfin, Clermont a fait le job en allant s'imposer à Montpellier, ce qui a éjecté La Rochelle des phases finales! Une saison à oublier pour les maritimes mais pas pour Bayonne, qui accueillera donc les Auvergnats tandis que Toulon défiera les tarnais du Castres Olympique, sacré village gaulois toujours fidèle au poste des phases finales. Les vainqueurs iront défier Toulouse et l'UBB à Lyon pour avoir le droit de rêver... au bouclier !!

Ep. 155 : Un Cru d'Exception - Bordeaux Champion d'Europe !Le Pack passera presque sous silence la triste sortie de route des Lyonnais douchés à Bath et renvoyés à leurs doutes pour une saison en demi teinte ! Direction Cardiff le lendemain pour assister à la magnifique conquête du titre européen par l'UBB pour qui 2025 restera un cru exceptionnel ! Pris à la gorge d'entrée, les bordelais ont su réagir avec panache et renverser leurs adversaires du jour en alternant l'excellent et le quelconque. A égalité à la mi-temps après 40 minutes exceptionnelles, ils ont pris 8 points d'avance. Les Saints de Northampton, certes diminués par les blessures n'ont pu qu'assister presque impuissants à l'inexorable chute du trophée dans la hotte des Bordelais. Avec la confiance engrangée à Cardiff, l'UBB file maintenant vers un possible doublé et une revanche totale sur les années de doute... et sur le stade Toulousain leur bourreau de l'an passé. Cet exploit serait alors le CRU DU SIECLE !

Les Saints ont terrassé les Leinstermen chez eux en Irlande, un exploit retentissant ! Bien malin qui peut prédire l'issue de ce match qui promet des étincelles !!! En France la bagarre pour la place dans les 6 du Top 14 bat son plein et pas moins de 6 équipes peuvent mathématiquement prétendre aux deux places restantes, ce championnat est fou !

Avec sa formidable victoire bonifiée sur Toulon, Vannes s'est donné le droit de rêver et c'est le Stade Français, étrillé par son voisin du Racing qui fait des cauchemars et devra s'imposer à Perpignan pour espérer éviter une incroyable dégringolade en Pro d2...Et pour le même prix, vous aurez droit au coup de gueule d'Amélie en fin d'épisode, on la comprend ! Bon mercredi avec le pack !Bonne écoute!Voici l'autre podcast de TK --> L'Année Sobre, un an sans alcool ! https://podcast.ausha.co/un-peu-plus-leger/playlist/l-annee-sobre-saison-3-de-un-peu-plus-leger-podcastHébergé par Ausha.

Chris is joined by Johnnie Beattie and French rugby journalist Paul Eddison to dissect the teams for round four. Does this France team need to win in Dublin to silence the French critics? There are plenty of talking points after Fabien Galthie named his team on Thursday, he's opted for a 7:1 split on the bench again and brought Romain Ntamack straight back in. We discuss Jamie Osborne's selection on the right wing and what Simon Easterby is hoping to gain from it. And how is Johnnie feeling about Wales visiting Murrayfield? Are there even nerves creeping in despite facing a team that's lost its last 15 matches?

Is playing Ireland in Dublin the ultimate challenge in northern hemisphere rugby? Shaun Edwards thinks so, and we hear how he's been motivating himself and the French players ahead of Saturday's showdown in Dublin. Chris chats to Gavin Mairs, chief rugby correspondent for the Daily Telegraph, and senior writer at ESPN Tom Hamilton. We look at Fabien Galthie's mind games this week with his comments in the press about Sam Prendergast. And speaking of Prendergast, just how big a day is this for him in his burgeoning international career? There's more on France opting for a 7:1 split and do Scotland really have cause for concern this weekend?

France are back, and isn't the rugby world a whole lot brighter for it? Saturday's stunning domination of the All Blacks felt like a seminal victory for a team that has come of age under Fabien Galthie. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We look at the Lions first warmup Test against Japan and the French name their squad for the tour to Australia.

You make your own luck in sport, unless you're the Welsh rugby team, who on Saturday had a lot of ref and TMO decisions go their way. So is it just that everything always comes up Wales, or are they a doughty, tough, mentally resilient and increasingly skillful side that deserves the Triple Crown and the now inevitable Grand Slam? We talk to Gerry Thornley and Shane Horgan about the series of Covid breaches in French rugby, if Fabien Galthie will get the sack, and what the French Government, the French rugby union and 6N should do about this. We ask if Ireland can continue to offload against the good teams, if Andy Farrell, with Kelleher, Furlong, Kilcoyne, Henderson, Ryan, Beirne, Connors and Stander, has found his best set of forwards for the Scotland and England games. Plus there's Rees Zammit's poker face and rugby analysis via Kevin Costner and Lewis Dunk.

UNMISSABLE!  What an honour it was for me to chat with Abdelatif Benazzi, who won 78 caps and scored 9 tries for France as a lock and back-row player. From Morocco to France, where he played with his rugby idol, Philippe Sella, in Agen to Saracens, his rugby career was sensational. He played in three World Cups for France and was part of the French squad that beat the All Blacks in the RWC semi final's epic game, with Fabien Galthie, Olivier Magne, Christophe Dominici, etc. Mike and I will talk about the 6 Nations, the Heineken European, and the Top14, of course. We finish with my French lesson and another Rugby joke because we all need to have a laugh, rugby friends:-).  Enjoy!

Serge Betsen is our Rugby guest and reflects on his rugby days playing for Clichy, Biarritz, Les Bleus, and Wasps and explains how Les young Bleus have progressed under the French coach, Fabien Galthie et al. Mike and I review the Top 14 & Autumn Internationals for Men and Women.  As usual, you will learn a new French Rugby word and Veronique finishes with one of her "terrible" rugby jokes. Vive Le Rugby!

Veronique Landew and Mike Pearce discuss how much Les Bleus have progressed under the French coach, Fabien Galthie et al and review the final round of the Six Nations for men and women. Mike reminisces about the first time he met Fabien Galthie and the philosophical answer he gave to Mike's question. We also cover the latest Top 14 games, and we finish not by one, but 2 Rugby jokes & French Rugby words & a James Bond question. Enjoy! Vive le Rugby! Long live to Rugby!
