Kizma and The Last Werewolf is a tale of a giant 7-foot werewolf in Texas. Deputy Sheriff Kizma and Emmitt Hercules hunt him and go on a terrifying adventure that takes them all the way to Mexico. The end has a twist that is certain to surprise you.

What a big night it's going to be for young Jac Davies as he steps up at full-back against Bristol with Blair Murray injured. Wales duo Tom Rogers and Ellis Mee return on the wings, while it's an interesting centre selection with Eddie James at 13.

Great to see Iwan Stephens back in action after a long lay-off. A big opportunity for 20-year-old Matty Young at full-back and a first start for newly recruited South African centre Cornel Smit. Cardiff showing nine changes in all as they head for Paris.

Cardiff against Stade Francais is an historic fixture. These amazing photographs are from a match at the Parc des Princes in 1912 when an "enormous crowd" witnessed Cardiff's 19-3 victory at "the unusually late hour of 4o'clock" (Ha!!). Find out more: https://t.co/JB1eg71iQ2

Full details of the Etzebeth gouge situation @TimesSport 👉🏼 12 weeks. Longest gouge ban since 2016 👉🏼 Didn’t claim Mann gouged him 👉🏼 “intentional” “he knew what he was doing” 👉🏼 8 week break means he might *actually* miss 4 games he would’ve played https://t.co/qA4Ip7nlef

Panel rule South Africa lock’s act was ‘intentional’ — leading to harshest punishment for a top-end player for an offence of this nature for nearly a decade
