An inspirational second-half performance saw South Africa thunder back from 19-3 down to defeat Ireland 32-26 on Saturday and tie their summer series at one game apiece. The Springboks failed to cross the whitewash in the first period, but second-half tries from Ruan Combrinck, Warren Whiteley, Pieter-Steph du Toit and Damian de Allende sealed the win. Ireland fly-half Paddy Jackson impressed in the opening 40 minutes and kicked 16 points to go along with scores from Devin Toner and Jamie Heaslip, but the Boys in Green ultimately fell flat at Ellis Park. The result means Ireland will have to wait...

The 14 men of Ireland started their tour of South Africa with a bang on Saturday after defeating the Springboks 26-20 in Cape Town, where tries from Jared Payne and Conor Murray guided them to victory at Newlands. Ireland were unfortunate to be reduced to 14 men after back-row star CJ Stander was sent off for a collision with Pat Lambie. A jumping attempt to block a kick saw Stander knock the Springboks fly-half out with his hip. The victory was Ireland’s first-ever in South Africa, and their maiden triumph came under a deserved banner after they fought on through the vast majority...

Both sets of players came roaring out of the blocks in the first half, with Australia looking dangerous on the break and stretching the England rear guard. Several plays came to nothing, but the Aussie pressure eventually told after 10 minutes. Good work from Israel Folau got Australia...

The first half was enthralling, with New Zealand predictably doing all the early pressing. Wales were penned into their own half in the opening exchanges, and it wasn’t long before the All Blacks were on the board.

Saracens finished their undefeated 2015-16 European Champions Cup campaign with a 21-9 win over Racing 92 during the final on Sunday, winning their first-ever European title. Owen Farrell took care of all the scoring with his boot, as Sunday’s clash in Lyon was an ugly, tactical affair that suited Saracens’ physical style of play perfectly. Racing lost a couple of key contributors during the match, but that shouldn’t diminish Saracens’ superb outing, as the Premiership side dominated most of the afternoon. As shared by BBC Sport’s Andrew Sheridan, the final was plagued...

4 Uncapped England Players Who Could Earn Places in Summer Internationals

English rugby has a rising stock at present, and there are a sea of up-and-coming stars aiming to get their shot with the national team leading up this summer’s international tour of Australia. The Premiership accounted for three-quarters of this season’s Champions Cup semi-finalists, and the Six Nations Grand Slam earlier in 2016 provided further evidence to the steady rise of the Red Rose. With that in mind, coach Eddie Jones can afford to use this summer’s trip Down Under as a form of experimental period, and several uncapped stars in particular stand a good chance of receiving...
