The 23-year-old was ever-present for the Warriors in 2023 as they won the League Leaders' Shield and Grand Final. "Last year's achievements have given me a real appetite for more," he told the club website.

The match will be played at Aviva Stadium on 20 June 2025 and will be broadcast on terrestrial television. The Lions played Japan in Edinburgh before their 2021 tour to South Africa, winning 28-10 on that occasion. The last meeting between the Lions and Argentina in Cardiff in 2005 ended in a 25-25 draw.

Nagy, 27, sustained the injury during last Saturday's 18-13 United Rugby Championship defeat at Benetton. Four minutes after scoring a try, he was carried off on a stretcher after an awkward fall going for a high ball. "Max has an operation this afternoon, which is really sad because he's been one of our form players of the year," said Ospreys head coach Toby Booth. "It's a dislocated ankle so until you open that up and see what it is… there's no bone injury as far as we can see, it's a ligament job.

The current laws allow tackles from shoulder height. The change will come into effect at grassroots, academy and reserve levels from the 2024 season and then elite rugby the year after.

The 28-year-old picked up the injury in training but a Bears statement said he was expected to return "ahead of England's 2024 Six Nations campaign". He has scored tries in the last two Premiership outings for Bristol since returning from the World Cup. Genge, who has won 58 England caps, also captained his country for the first time earlier this year.

The England centre has been passed fit to face Stade Francais on Sunday and is now fully recovered after breaking a hand during the Rugby World Cup. Tuilagi, 32, is aiming to secure another one-year contract extension.

It's still will be the return of the Mack 4eva Joined: 1 February 2011 Posts: 53,955 User: 12,915	Sale Sharks started their Investec Champions Cup campaign with an impressive 28-5 win over Stade Francais. Stade scored the only try of the first half through Jeremy Ward but two penalties by George Ford put the Sharks ahead at half-time. Tries from Tom O'Flaherty, Jonny Hill and Sam Dugdale in the second period ensured Sale ran out comfortable winners in their Pool 4 opener. However, Alex Sanderson's side missed out on a fourth score and bonus point. Sale next face a difficult away trip to 2023 runners-up Leinster on Saturday, while Stade welcome Leicester Tigers to Paris.
