Just looked at his stats he’s tall for a loosehead. His best chance of quality game time next season will be to stay at Nottingham

For me the little things, hookers feet really aren’t that important in the scheme of things. There are so many laws, and sub paragraphs of laws it would be ridiculous. Things such as the wrestling 9s, which I think they’re dealing with, offside at kick offs which is being penalised more are more im...

The All Blacks props headed by De Groot and Lomax are excellent scrummagers, so if Genge not fit it may be both Quins looseheads touring

World rugby needs to sort out the role of the TMO. For me it should be limited to foul play and questions over whether trys are scored correctly Agreed sometimes I wonder if it’s the TMO or the Referee in charge of the game, but TMO duties must be limited and possibly go the same way as the VAR. Wa...

Just with injuries it happened.

I feel he’s the ultimate impact player off the bench with 30 to go

Totally this though I do understand sometimes it may be horses for courses and Kata could be used in an Esterhuizen type role at 12

I have only watched the highlights but it struck me the number of times Steward made ground coming into the line at pace, which is dependent, a lot, of having a ball playing 12 like Kelly. I know Kata is becoming a fan favourite but imo he needs to be kept as a bench option, or wing, and develop Woo...

With reference to the game Sharks won at Connaught yesterday and it looked like they had rested a few, and safe to assume the whole squad will be up here. After some of my predictions yesterday, Saracens would over power Sale !!, I’m reluctant but believe Gloucester won’t get within 15 points of a S...

Some players have had less game time than they would have hoped and some have come in for a bit of flak from supporters on here, and presumably other platforms that our sons advise us to avoid; to deflect from their own disappointment by blaming the coaches (aka their manager) is something that wil...

I have witnessed Mc Kellar at 3 home games this seaon pre match on the pitch in the warm ups --- NOT A PEEP FROM HIM----- AND VIRTUALLY NO INTERACTION . Which I would say is fairly common from the head coach taking an overall view and leaving different disciplines to individual coaches. Watch Borth...

Deserved red. Absolutely pathetic thuggery on the pitch. Yes, but he went in to defend his team mate. Got MoM as well. *from the important people. Don’t get this initial comment. Wasn’t thuggery he picks him up and drops him and lands on his head amongst other parts of his body. Yellow card at wors...

For those in the know how strong is the Peter Hewat rumour.
Liked him as a player could be just who we need

Yes he has I think during the World Cup maybe PRC games. Very knowledgeable isn’t he now chair of the players association
