That's certainly what the ARU's statement says.... The administrators found a buyer who satisfied the creditors vote. Those buyers were/are suing the ARU for under paying them over the course of several years. The ARU have now decided to not authorise the new buyers & kick them out, meaning all...

It’s an excellent question. I would have to check but from watching highlights of games their form seemed to improve after rumours of their financial demise began. They certainly didn’t fall off a cliff as some thought they might. I may be wrong but didn't rumours of administration come out before ...

Darby Lancaster looked a quick & tricky winger. Be interesting if he has the all round game needed, he certainly has a very top attack to balance a weak defence. Someone like Jordan Uelese at hooker could be interesting. We're fairly tight on EQP quotas, we know we're losing a regular spot with ...

Correct, though Bedfordshire in Botha's case. Gelderbloom teaches at Oakham, Freddie lives in the same area he always did I believe.

Oh definitely. I'd imagine initial discussions have already taken place and a decision either way will be made by the end of the summer. As you say it's not something we can hang around over. Joe Simmonds would be my preferred replacement. He's not as good but he's cheaper, be around all season and...

Look, you can all moan and slate the bloke, that's your purgative but look at the bigger picture here. im all for giving him his full term of 4 years, why because if we dont do better than eighth but its still tight, is it his fault? also we get rid, bring someone else in and guess what first year ...

And what if the 3 close wins went the other way? It's not like we got a particularly rough hand on the close games, we lost 4 with Losing Bonus Points and won 3 by less than 7. That line of thinking really doesn't convince me of "bad luck". When we were so poor in the final quarter, I rea...

Think McKellar was dealt a poor hand, and both attack and S&C seemed a significant downturn from the previous regime. Two or three close results went the other way, w e'd be in the playoffs. That's not anywhere near as bad as some think, just not brilliant. I'm more concerned about the ladies t...

To be honest this chat is why I find it odd to have released Morgan Meredith. That profile of player as third choice while developing in BUCS or loan seems a pretty decent fit.

If we got some injuries we'd probably sign someone extra later anyway.

I thought he had 2 reds at Cheetahs before he joined us and then one vs Wasps (may be wrong though) Close. One red in SA, the red vs Wasps and then the ban for cumulative foul play yellow cards (3 yellows in fairly quick succession for foul play being effectively upgraded to a red). Found it... He ...

The hearing document talks about 4 bans including this one & "an additional" ban for totting up.

I make it 2 red cards, 1 citing dismissed & the totting up ban. So where is the extra suspension it mentions? They don't deign to list the previous in the hearing notes.

I'd love to know what CVC's exit strategy is. They normally hold for 5 years, but in sport apparently they aim for 10 years. That puts them looking to leave about 2027 or so. Float on the stock market? Non starter surely. Selling to a sovereign wealth fund? Possible, there is good prestige & con...

Just looked through the ealing leavers and saw that Steven Shingler was on the list. Could be a useful old head to fill the bench slot behind Polly. Still only 32, but didn’t ply against us in the semi. Any ideas if he is still any good He's going to be playing for London Welsh in the 5th tier next...

If things are that bad why do we also take every opportunity to say we're going to spend the full salary cap? Things should be addressed on their merits. For season ticket holders this offers limited benefits over a season ticket alone (a new shirt worth c.£75, for the middle level members a women's...
