    Ring fencing premiership and championship

    Unbelievable it’s not like there aren’t any kind of blue prints abroad which could be tailored, though I do get when all is said and done it is a minority sport, that really needs addressing before much can change, chicken and egg really. Whilst not strictly in the their hands ensuring the 6...

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 Semi finals

    Yeah think at the back of NH mind somewhere will be that they have a lot of the pack moving on in one way or another, even if filled with quality it will still take a while to gel, realistically you’d expect there to be an element of now or maybe not for a couple of seasons mentality, what’s...

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 Semi finals

    Tend to think the missed bonus points were costly as hell, they have been playing knockout rugby for a while, no opportunity to rest players, not to mention the home advantage they’d have enjoyed, still when you consider where they were not so long ago that’s a mirricle in itself, certainly...

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 Semi finals

    looks like I called both these semis wrong, maybe underestimated home advantage just thought both away teams might have to much recent experience it big games. Should be a great final, probably the one the neutral wanted.

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 Semi finals

    Can u imagine If Bath win, can see the headlines now it will single handedly be because of the Russell affect.

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 Semi finals

    I agree were it a different penalty, its the point that scrums primary objective is to restart the game, I just don’t think all pens are conceded equally so should hold the same length of advantage.

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 Semi finals

    I know it won’t be popular because of all the Sarries haters but come on, how much of an advantage from a scrum penalty do you need literally pretty much as close to scoring a try without doing so.

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 Semi finals

    yeah I though benches might be key and might be a reason to start BillyV let’s be honest he’s not really bringing the impact of several seasons ago at any interval, he hasn’t looked as sluggish and unwilling to put the effort in this game though, T Willis is pretty good but I wouldn’t really...

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 Semi finals

    Half time can’t come soon enough for Sarries, Sarries starting to unravel.

    Freeman is class under the high ball, don’t recall him being this good.

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 Semi finals

    Lovely try from saints, think they need to be a bit careful couple of times they have tackled guards which are not really part of the ruck.

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 Semi finals

    I love the attitude in Sarries that they are accepting NH have been considerably better all season but the reality is if Sarries win here the other two losses to NH mean nothing.

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 Semi finals

    I said the same, Sarries just have that big game mentality and with their exodus you just feel they will have that huge game in them, with that said (I don’t particularly rate him internationally) Mailins was instrumental last season not sure they’d have won it without, Earls looked average when...

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 Semi finals

    Pretty sure Sarries have won it without a home semi final?

    Investec Champions Cup Final - Toulouse v Leinster

    Just watched what little highlights were available, didn’t look to be anything in that, if Leinster land that drop goal at 79 ish minutes it’s Leinsters win with French fans criticising the ref, final margin definatly flattered Toulouse, ultimately there can only be one winner either would have...

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 - Round 18

    Seems to be a lot of debate and opinions equally split, I can see why that’s been called a red card, but in reality it doesn’t really look that bad, if the Leicester player wasn’t there who knows but with how it happened there and then most of the contact was on the body not the head, it does...

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 - Round 18

    I can see a repeat of last years final tbh, (appreciate that means 2 home losses), not sure who in the Bath squad (outside of Spencer) has big game experience, similar with saints, but then again Sarries are not the force they once were and probably will be far less so after this season.

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 - Round 18

    True that, it does feel like Sale might have found form at the right time, I’m not sure it’s easy to pick winners, doesn’t feel like a relatively predictable two horse race it has done in years gone by.

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 - Round 18

    Sales defence has made Sarries players look very average almost to the man, Goode’s been big since he’s come on, outside of that struggling to think of many note worthy contributions.
