Inside this issue…

The Tuipulotus
After older cousin Carwyn broke on the scene with Scarlets, siblings Sisilia and Kepu made their marks in the TikTok Six Nations and under-18s Six Nations for Wales and England respectively. We meet all three at the church in the Welsh valleys where the local Tongan diaspora gathers.

Sergio Parisse
The most-capped Six Nations player, takes us from his early days growing up in Argentina to the highs and lows of Italy, and the craziness of Stade Français.

Cambridge
The story of Cambridge’s incredible journal from the brink of collapse to the promotion to National League 1, including the role played by their former chair, Jeffrey Archer.

Montpellier
Zach Mercer and Henry Thomas share their stories as we visit the 2022 Top 14 champions for their last home game against La Rochelle – and naturally bump into Sean Fitzpatrick too.

Syria
Once considered a team of expats, from the wreckage of civil Syria are now home-grown, growing the game and making their mark on the international game.

Wasps Women
The pioneering Wasps Women have always been at the top end of the women’s game, but against Bristol Bears they finally bade farewell. We met the people who built the club to share memories and find out what happens next.

Rocky Clark
Once teetering on the brink of the wrong side of the tracks, Rocky was guilted into rugby and it changed her life. She shares her rugby life, from the lows of retirement and finding a purpose to the highs of beating Saracens with six front rowers on the pitch.

The Worcester saga
Journalist Marcello Cossali-Francis followed – and into continues to follow – the demise of Worcester Warrior’s men from start to finish. He takes us through the whole story, from start to ... well, wherever we are now.

Yorkshire
As Leeds tumble another division, and Doncaster fail to mount a challenge, we head to county double-header (and women) to paint a picture of the game in Yorkshire, from grassroots to the elite.

Jersey Reds
We travelled to Jersey to meet the people behind the rise of the Reds and take in their all-important clash against Ealing Trailfinders that ultimately led to their title win.

Pontypool
After three years of ringfencing, mismatched play-offs and untold pain off the pitch, Pontypool are finally back in the top flight of Welsh club rugby. We were there when they did it.

Lyon
We meet the man trying to put Lyon on top of the French rugby tree – plus a look at neighbouring World Cup host Saint-Etienne.
