Another busy day in the rugby union game as Loose Pass looks at the grim reality of the sport plus we have a My rugby hero piece and timed quiz on those who have competed at a Rugby World Cup.

Loose Pass covers the goings on in the sport at the moment as teams begin to make cuts and is fearful for the future of some sides. It also touches on France pushing for younger referees and the possible 50/22 law.

My rugby hero is Sale Sharks wing Denny Solomona as we look back at his outstanding finish in their game against Gloucester.

There’s also that aforementioned quiz as we challenge you to write down all 25 nations that have played at a Rugby World Cup.
