It is time for Planet Rugby’s Sunday Social, your quirky recap of the serious and not so serious talking points from the past week’s action.

We simply have to kick off with that try from Toulouse, which continues to tick over with retweets and likes across the Twitter atmosphere.

In the PRO14 and there were emotional scenes at Kingspan Stadium where Rory Best and Darren Cave said goodbye to their long-time rugby home.

Beaten quarter-finalists Connacht showed their class by adding their own words of appreciation as Ulster move on to face Glasgow Warriors.

The Premiership saw Saracens beat Exeter in the top-of-the-table clash, with this Will Skelton score getting people talking. Poor Gareth…

Joking aside and it was a sad day for Newcastle, whose Premiership relegation was confirmed. It’s always upsetting to see a team go down.

Moving on, the term flushed is often used when talking about relegation but lowering the tone slightly this week was Matt Giteau in Japan.

And finally we conclude with a frightening sight of the Hurricanes’ All Black XV. How about that backline? Could any team live with this?
