Another weekend full of emotions, strong images and shocking results on the sporting planet. On the rugby side, the XV of France signed its second victory in the 2024 Six Nations Tournament by outclassing Wales in Cardiff. Meanwhile, Stade Toulousain was surprised in Perpignan in the Top 14 when it had the opportunity to take control of the championship.
