The New Zealand All Blacks edged out France in a thrilling encounter in Dunedin, finishing with a scoreline of 31-27. The match saw momentum swing both ways, with Will Jordan regaining the lead for the All Blacks at 46 minutes, bringing the score to 28-20. Earlier, France’s Gabin Villiere sparked hope with a try just after halftime, narrowing the gap to a single point before the All Blacks pulled away again[1][5].

In Pretoria, South Africa’s Springboks established early dominance over Italy, leading 14-0. Jesse Kriel opened the scoring at 10 minutes with a well-executed try, converted by Handre Pollard. The home side’s forward pack continued asserting control, resulting in a second converted try before the first half concluded. Italy’s Lorenzo Cannone was shown a yellow card at 22 minutes, leaving his team at a disadvantage for ten minutes[3][8].

The British & Irish Lions claimed a 21-10 victory over the Waratahs in Sydney in a closely contested match. Despite the win, the Lions were left with much to ponder, as the Waratahs put up a strong fight and made the tourists work hard throughout the game[7].

In the 2025 NRL Telstra Women’s Premiership, the Broncos led the Wests Tigers 8-4 at halftime. While the first half was low-scoring with three tries ruled out, the second half promised more attacking rugby. Earlier in the day, the Cowboys and Dragons also recorded convincing wins as they kicked off their seasons[4].

Meanwhile, in Super League action from earlier in the season, notable results included Leeds Rhinos defeating Salford Red Devils 28-0, and Catalans Dragons overcoming Huddersfield Giants 38-18. Other victories went to Wigan Warriors, St Helens, Hull FC, and Leigh Leopards[2].
