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.

First up in the Women’s Six Nations, ice creams all round! After putting more than 50 points on their rivals Scotland, England celebrate. Well deserved ladies!

Out comes the chicken wing! Ireland’s Sam Monaghan with the most textbook offload you will see. Very easy on the eye.

A Scotsman drinking a Castle Lite, no this is not the start of a bad joke, it is just Edinburgh becoming the first team from the northern hemisphere to win in South Africa in the United Rugby Championship. Well deserved beer for the men from Scotland’s capital.

Stormers‘ Evan Roos dominates Duane Vermeulen in this one. Yes you read correctly. The young number eight will be hoping the Springboks management team took notice.

Control and composure from Danny Toala as this memorable try hands Moana Pasifika their first ever Super Rugby Pacific win. Historic moment!

The movie was sure to make an appearance at some point. Brilliant stuff from the newcomers.

There won’t be much air left in his lungs. Fijian Drua captain Nemani Nagusa absolutely cuts Matt To’omua in half. What a hit!

Meanwhile, Scotland’s Six Nations downfall gets brutally taken apart in this one. Not the kind of clock change the Scottish fans wished for.

Nutmeg! Demba Bamba with a ruthless nutmeg on Damian Penaud. PSG scouts will be circling for Bamba’s signature soon.

There will never be another Nick Cummins. The ‘Honey Badger’ mastered the art of interviewing with some pearlers. “Up the guts and in the corner.”

Ireland’s Andrew Porter parts with his wavy locks on the Late Late Show for a great cause. Well done, Andrew!

Finally, ‘let kids be kids’ is the message from Dave Wessels. The former Rebels coach appropriately calls out parents for putting pressure on their children from a young age.
