Why are we talking about smith or Farrell?

Exactly! It’s Smith/Farrell 10/12 100%. Nothing else will even be considered if both are fit!

Imagine a MF of Smith, Kelly, Manu? I suppose we can dream! Smith needs to move forward a bit. He’s playing too deep for Quins and England. He won’t challenge the line where he is currently standing. Farrell on the other hand, love him or hate him is on fire and should start at 10. Kelly outside of...

Lancasters forte is helping age grade players make that transition to senior rugby. Identifying and developing young talent and that’s what’s I’ve been told he’s doing at Leinster. But instead of it being 6-18yo players he’s now taking established young squad and Leinster B players and bridging that...

That's why there's a question mark. You said he's not in charge; the article says different. The article is having a subtle dig at England,SL is not in charge. He’s a big part of the coaching group but I’ve never heard of him being in charge outside of that article ,speaking to Leinster fans,watchi...

Got to fancy Ireland just,but I'm rooting for La Rochelle

Big article in today's Times on Stuart Lancaster; "From an England failure to Leinster's most prized asset". It recounts how he has used 60 players in 26 matches and beat Munster last Saturday without a single first team player. They run 3 sides in training and will lose 17 - 20 players t...

10 is going to be interesting. Farrell is playing some fantastic rugby at 10 at present and I could see him starting ahead of Smith. If Tuilagi is fit he plays 12 and personally I would like to see Marchant in the 13 shirt. I could see Kelly as the understudy at 12 he is very powerful and has excel...

Incredible depth!

Bath have demoted Hooper too ,he now reports to Van Graan rather than vice versa. Wise move from Bath!

As shown multiple times reality is you rarely get the whole back row fit at same time just those type of positions.

That's correct ,I'm going on a fully fit back row and then I wouldn't have a specialist 7 on the bench when we have so many other players that can cover so many other positions

On the K'poku situation, personally I am not sure if he will come, though I do think he would be a good signing if he did. I guess like others, he would want/need some assurances about the plans for the club if SB does go next summer. That is going to have an impact on our recruitment, that uncerta...

Auterac have a new club? Highly rated at one stage I believe
