Re: Progress under Borthwick 2021/22
For those of us not lucky enough to be a Twickenham yesterday I would imagine the majority watched the game on BT sport. I actually watched the game on ITV4 and there was a segment before the game where Dave Flatman gave us an insight into what makes Steve Borthwick a great coach and all about his a...

Re: Next Number 10 ?
I thought Twelvetrees was 36, sorry couldn't resist!sam16111986 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 10:15 am Sexton is 36 and in a set up that carefully manages how many games he plays. He really only plays the big games at Leinster and for Ireland. It would be a terrible choice for him and us to try and put his body through a Prem season.

Telusa Veainu
Forgive me if this has been said elsewhere but i would just like to pay tribute to a very gifted player who i believe gave his best years to our club. Very few players have the ability that Telusa had and he just seemed to glide past a defence at times, he was one of the most exciting players to hav...

Re: Back Row
Kaino, Reed, McCaw. Any backrow with Michael Jones in it. Jeffery, White, Calder. Tigers wise so many options, but individually Miller, Richards, Kronfeld. I share your admiration of Michael Jones and would be tempted to extend your sentiments to any back row with Richie McCaw in it but we are talk...

Back Row
I've just been watching England's great victory from 2003(no not that one, when we beat NZ) and a thought crossed my mind. If you were to pick a fantasy back row it would undoubtedly include one or more NZ/Southern hemisphere players but what if you had to pick a back row unit? I personally believe ...

Re: Steve Borthwick
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 t...

Re: Steve Borthwick
Why would he be using similar techniques? If he respected Mark Bakewell so much it goes without saying that he will adopt some of his methods. For the record i would like to say i have nothing against Mr Bakewell or his coaching methods, i'm a firm believer that we haven't had the personnel require...

Jonah Holmes
There is a piece in Wales online linking Jonah with a potential move to the Dragons so that he can further his international career. I hope this is just a case of lazy journalist speculation rather than fact. Sorry i did try and copy the link but it wouldn't take.

Re: Ellis Genge Appreciation Thread
As an old fart I am disgusted! A bottle of girly lager? What is required is a pint of best bitter, hand pumped, of course, followed by another six or seven. (With the trophy safely locked away, Mr Richards) ......... And not served in those fragile plastic contrivancies either! The ones where you t...

Re: Finn Russell
I think the Scots are in some trouble. Definitely first choice Lions 10 if you were picking the squad today, Not with Gatland in charge. He'll pick Farrell and Anscombe. Maybe Biggar as a third option. He likes a 10 that can defend first and foremost. I've never been over impressed with Anscombe's ...

Re: Saracens are relegated!
I don’t condone what Sarries hierarchy has done but whatever is said the squad is superbly well coached. You look at our backs when fully fit and they too should, even with limited ball, score tries! As for PLR saying they want a fair contest I find that totally ignores the fact that those clubs, o...

Re: What Now For Our Season?
I have previously been critical of Murphy but above all he is doing a good job of bringing youngsters through. By mixing up the young vs experienced it is, I feel, starting to pay off. MOC and Cockers did not seem to have any kind of vision for this so a major factor in our decline is being reverse...
