Nine minutes of chaos and Bordeaux Beglesโ€™ โ€˜Hawaiian waveโ€™ shatter Leicesterโ€™s hopes French side produce a scintillating display to defy brave effort from Leicester, with Bielle-Biarrey โ€˜impossible to stopโ€™ for hosts

Dispatch from Bordeaux. A weird game. So many Leicester players delivered (and some), yet the most memorable of all came from the Bordeaux collective in the nine minutes after half-time, with 21 points scored.

And Louis Bielle-Biarrey is something else.

Bordeaux-bound (๐ŸŽถOh, I wish I wasโ€ฆ๐ŸŽถ) to see if Leicester can upset the odds. Just one win for the Prem sides in Anglo-French ties thus farโ€ฆ

A tall order for the Tigers against a filthy, fully loaded Bordeaux-Bรจgles, with Damian Penaud returning from injury to rub salt in.

I took on the Worldโ€™s Strongest Man โ€“ and crumbled under the weight Highlanders Tom and Luke Stoltman have powered their way to multiple strength titles and try to show Charles Richardson how itโ€™s done

Nipped up to the Scottish Highlands to meet the worldโ€™s strongest brothers - and worldโ€™s strongest man - but all they got, when I tried to mirror their training, was Invergordonโ€™s maddest man.
