Premiership Rugby 23/24 - Round 10

The Scotland age grade sides are consistently crap. That strongly suggests to me that the Scots would rather try to reap the benefit of other unions' work than work on improving their own infrastructure. I appreciate there are limitations with only 2 pro sides, but if they wanted to, I think there would be plenty of opportunities for them to improve their pathways.

I don't feel I can stick the boot in here seeing as we're pretty **** too. Not as **** as Scotland though.
 
Didn't it come out that England's player numbers were drastically inflated as they're the only union that counts school children in their numbers? Not sure if it's to do with government funding or something, but explains why our numbers were like three times as much as South Africa
Also aren't the RFU broke/in debt?
I'd guess at France and Ireland's unions having more cash than the RFU

More more racist among them have even tried to claim Itoje was a poach.

Jacob Umaga playing for England had some heads spinning too,
Despite being born in England, having an English mom, living all his life in England, it was still England poaching from Samoa

Ahhh. If true then I'll hold my hands up there as that's a stupid way to record numbers. I must admit I've not looked into it.
 
Luke James out and Rekeiti Ma'asi-White onto the bench

Shame for Luke but excited to see Rekeiti again, been out for a while after an injury in the pre season prem cup games, came back a week ago on the bench for Caldy
 
Odendaal has been on the weights since I last saw him, thought he was #2 not #12 on that carry
 
Subs changed the game for Saints...

Furbank class...England beckons...and Freeman must be in the sqaud aswell.
 
Pre-match atmosphere looks pretty incredible at Twickenham
 
Newcastle really made that tough for Sarries. A few odd decisions, particularly the knock on that wasn't reviewed that led to Radwan's spectacular try, also thought it odd that the ref only started looking at high shots right at the end (surprised Dan didn't go for a HIA early on). Another 5 points and some good squad rotation.

Segun who is back from injury with a great MotM performance. Special note to Daly with some absolutely silly passes.
 
Seen on other media sites game of 2 half's
For me Sale better of 55 mins then ,bench hugely improved Saints.
Deservedly winners at end of day but as always Saints infuriate the fan base one way or another.
Glad to be that congestion at the top.
Think we will only lose Mitchell for 6N although others around edges.
Somewhere in top 4 better still on top 2 come the death hopefully.
