Watching Fiji's Darkest Moment | Matchday Vlog
What's gone wrong with the flying Fijians? I took a trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool to watch Fiji take on England in the Nations Championship 2026. After being humiliated 8-73 by the English, I wanted to know the reasons why. Was it the payers? The coaches? The off-field governance? I discuss all of it. In this mini-documentary I use highlights and analysis to pose some serious questions about Fiji rugby. Why are they playing away from home? Why have the performances gone backwards? Do the coach's excuses make sense? #rugby #fiji #vlog #liverpool #england #documentary #analysis #highlights #Wales #fijian Follow me on twitter: https://x.com/HuwGriffinRugby follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61580910041103 Learn more about your ad choices.

Are The Barbarians Still Relevant In 2026? | Mini-Documentary
Are the Barbarians RFC still relevant in 2026? For this mini-documentary I took a trip to Allianz Stadium (Twickenham) to watch the Barbarians vs Wales in June 2026 to see if the famous rugby team still mattered. I watch both the men's and women's teams take on the Welsh to see what the differences were between both sides. With star players like Faf de Klerk and George North, can the Baabaas still work their magic? Or has Ruby Tui shown that now is the time for the women to take over?

Can France Finally Prove Themselves The Southern Hemisphere? ft. Bernard Jackman
Bernard Jackman joins me to discuss the prospects for Antoine Dupont and France as they head down to the Souther Hemisphere for the July tests and the Nations Championship. We discuss if Dupont's position in the France team is under threat from the likes of Maxime Lucu and where France truly lie in the global game. How will that play out against the All Blacks and Australia? Bernard gives his take exclusively on the HG Rugby podcast. We also deep dive the TOP 14 final and Bernard explains what makes Stade Toulousain (or Toulouse to you and me) the powerhouse that they are - from coaching, to players, to culture. Finally, to finish the pod, Bernard gives his take on the current unrest in Irish rugby, the lessons he learnt from Welsh Rugby and what he really thinks about Fabien Galthie.
