According to BBC sport today, he is about to sign for Worcester. So much for reinforcing the centres........

At last a chance for Burgess when the Saints players get banned from the England squad!! Poor standards at Northampton and I imagine we haven't heard the last of this ( unless of course the publican doesn't know his rugby and they just happened to be lads in Northampton shirts).

Let's just wait to the conclusion of the RWC. If we fail, then the doom mongers were correct. If successful ( not quite sure of the definition to some. - for me, it's clearly raising the trophy and nothing less) then let's laud the plaudits on the chap. Get behind the team and the coaches - we don't...

Is he a centre ? Of course not. Is he a blindside? Yes at club level not at international. I do believe he CAN be an international back rower in due course but will he want to stay in union for another 4 years. If he does, I can see him being in the England set up in a year or two.

Bring in a world quality 12 , takes pressure off Freddie or OW, opens the holes for the outside centre and the world is a happier place. Imagine Freddie shredding defences with a top notch 12 holding the opposing open ...

He missed the dual contract offer - so presumably the WRU don't want to set a precedent with offering it again (or at least immediately )...

At last we have a coach with genuine world class backs pedigree, with Tigers blood running through him (only Pat Howard would be regarded higher) and I am delighted to hear him backing his own ability to coach the existing players to a higher standard - which is the interpretation I have of his comm...

I am particularly pleased to hear that Mauger is taking his time to assess his existing squad before making hasty decisions.Imagine how the players would feel if the first impression has been made prior to meeting each other - our youngsters need the opportunity to show their colours and a certain J...
