A highly controversial moment from the France vs. Ireland quarter-final has led to a major ban. After officials missed the incident on-field, a disciplinary committee reviewed the case and handed French forward Axelle Berthoumieu a 12-match suspension for an alleged bite on Ireland's Aoife Wafer.

Dang. Three, count 'em THREE #NPC matches kick off in 8 minutes. I could literally set up three screens and act like I'm at Buffalo Wild Wings or something. OR, I could attempt to complete a trial in #HogwartsLegacy...

Too often, the history of women’s rugby lives in memories and matchday programs. But what if it lived online too, preserved for fans and future players? Now it does.

Hey, friends and regular listeners who have been asking - my son’s baseball team, after securing the top seed for the playoffs, got swept away and will not be making the final. A disappointing end to a super fun season!
