It was an epic weekend of rugby action with Leicester beating Saracens to win the Gallagher Premiership before the Barbarians smashed England on Sunday.
However, we’ve almost certainly found a couple of things you missed from the fantastic action…
#1. Kruis cuts live TV interview short
"This is what Baa-baas is about, spending a bit of time with a different culture and different people and we got a good result in the end. I'm very grateful to be a part of it."
Asked about the back-heel conversion in particular, Kruis acknowledged the question before replying: "I'm going to be really rude and I'd love to celebrate with the team if that's alright."
#2. Danny Care getting smashed
The Harlequins scrum-half, who turned down a call-up to join up with the England squad, was absolutely destroyed by Botia. With England getting thumped and Eddie Jones playing down his chance of a recall, Care may have made a mistake.
#3. Forgetful hero
Leicester Tigers drop-goal hero Freddie Burns awoke from a hard night partying to realise he'd forgot that it was Father Day today. I'm sure he will be forgiven.
He was too caught up enjoying a celebratory McDonald's.
That kick again.
#4. Farrell's brutal post-match interview
Saracens captain Owen Farrell gave a brutally honest interview to BT Sport following his sides 15-12 defeat to Leicester Tigers in the Premiership final.
#5. And finally, the best photo of the day, the Youngs family

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
