I think the mood has lifted and there is even a bit of optimism in some quarters regarding the coaching set up. I remember when Mark Bakewell was appointed as the forwards coach a certain Steve Borthwick was quoted as saying "He is the best forwards coach i have ever worked with". Given that, its p...

Good and interesting interview

I guess a question might be if there are only good owners in rugby why do need this but presumably that is not the case - so why would they agree to it. Or perhaps more sympathetically.... the owners have felt compelled to act in a certain way. And taking stock, everyone can realise we've ended up i...

All a bit of a worry for Gloucester fans - after it looked like they were on the up aswell.

Every players worth is only dependant on what any employer is prepared to pay them. If that means that said employers will no longer be able or willing to pay them more than -25 % of their current wages then they can sue for the difference till contract expiration and then take a 25 % pay cut or ??...
