    Champions Cup Format

    I can see this idea working as it would give everyone a guaranteed 5 matches, with at least 2 at home. I would also keep the double week for knockouts, as I don't see travel a problem, (it works in NFL). I would also have the semis played at the higher ranked team, with only the neutral venue...

    Investec Champions Cup 23/24 - Quarter Finals

    Quins playing good rugby ATM. Ball in contact seems to be on their terms, allowing front foot ball and then options seem to also be well chosen.

    Should substitutions be banned.

    How about rugby league style of limited interchanges. Then if injury occurs to FR, then the replacement FR comes on for another player, so down to 14, if all interchanges used, but need a FR. Otherwise, faking injury to go to non-competitive scrums will happen.

    Not if the number of games was restricted to say 18 per season plus play offs. The game needs to be more aware of the quality over quantity issue.

    Northampton Saints Thread

    And herein lies an issue with rugby in England. Too many squad players costing money and also restricting their development. Hopefully, the strict cap of 35 + 12 will mean more academy players will move onto Championship and strengthen those teams for an overall better product, hence getting...

    United Rugby Shield - New URC Expansion Competition Concept

    Why have the Diables over Iberians? Drop out Wasps and Irish and add in Iberians and Bucharest Wolves might be more appropriate. Also, if SRU were to add another team, it would probably be closer to Glasgow and Edinburgh, so development players could get game time. The Southern Knight playing in...

    England 6 Nation squad 2024

    Depends, look at NZ Savea is more than a carrier and definitely Read was a ball player, with McCaw as tackler and jackler

    England 6 Nation squad 2024

    Watching yesterday and it seemed, Mitchell already trusted the team to be in position when he arrived at the breakdowns, which upped the speed. Theteam had to play at Mitchell's pace, which is much better.

    Just think, a dodgy decision on a kick and Italy could have 3 wins on the cards.

    [2024 Six Nations] England vs Ireland - 09/03/24

    Exactly my point. Chessum at 6 helps with the carrying, allowing Earl to be wider and Underhill to mix it up. In the backline, moving Freeman to 13 would be a good 'squad' move.
