Very Interesting Scrum Article

In the Telegraph, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/7571988/Paul-Ackford-Scrummaging-rules-are-putting-lives-at-risk.html I would be very inetersted to know what we all think of the idea of depowering the engagement, (as the article mentions they have been doing at Cambridge)either by actu...

Jordan Crane

Is it me or has his off-load game got a massive amount better in the last few games. He is busting tackles and looking for the off-load, which is must improved on the early weeks of the season. If, as I would expect, he makes the trip over the summer to OZ and NZ with England, given the poor perform...

Re: Stephen Jones to Leicester???

No, No, No, No, No, terrible idea! Why would we want to sign a 32 year old fly half, who we would lose for 6nations and the world cup! We have two 10's now in Flood and Staunton, and another in 12trees should anything happen to both of them. Why take up what I would have thought will be a massive am...

Re: England Team for France Game

Hopefully this will finally put to bed the idea that Matt Tait is the England 13. How many chances is this guy going to get. Appart from one break during the 07 world cup final, when England had nothing to lose at the point he made the break, Tait has had chance after chance to show what he can do a...

Re: Tigers v Wasps

Look, everyone knows, and cockers has said, the reason we resigned 12T is that the club realised they had made a massive mistake in letting him go, that he was a real talent for the future and the club wanted him back. I dont think you come that realisation, convince 12T to come back then leave him ...

Re: Most Overated XV

Perhaps contraversial but Matthew Tait, never understood what people see in him? Another centre, Stuart Abbot, could never get that one either.

(I dont have anything against centres, in case anyone is wondering :smt040 )

Jonno's Sky Interview?????

I live in New Zealand and although I have a dedicated rugby channel (very nice :smt040 ) that picks up the Sky coverage and commentary of all England games it never shows the interviews post match. I usually get these off the sky website as I did this morning with Jonno's interview immediately after...

Re: England Team and Twickers rant

This was without question one of the worst Eng performances I have every seen! I know and can be sympathetic that there are forwards missing, especially in the front row, and the scrum on Saturday was ok, against a very useful Arg unit, but around the park contributions must also be made and this ju...

Re: B.Deacon V Jordan Crane

Not that I wish to jump into the middle of a bar fight, but JC is composed, strong, tactically aware, good at the base of the scrum, he hits his rucks and mauls, he carries well he always seems to be in the right place at the right time which never did Deano any harm. Like Deano, not the quickist ov...

Re: Mauger talks of departure

I wouldn't necessarily say he needs to be playing in the Super 14 to be in the AB's team. Luke McCallister has been picked at inside centre today (NZ time) and he hasnt played a single super14 game, and I think only one Air NZ cup game. I think a good Premiership season and Graham Henry, who is unde...

Mauger talks of departure

I live in New Zealand and this story appeared on a web site here over the weekend. The website is called "stuff" and is usually pretty accurate when it comes to tips and the inside track on Kiwis playing in Europe. http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/international/2757005/Mauger-eyes-2011-r...

Re: What's Going On?

Whilst I agree that questioning the players we have signed, or not signed depending on your view and those let go is perfectly valid, we all have an interest in continuing with the success the team enjoyed last season, I can also see the merit it maintaining a little faith in Cockers and co. Its not...
