IMO Moroni form has dipped since moving to Falcons, understandably, but as they say class is permanent and that ability to cover centre and wing is invaluable

I’m not that opposed to an extended ruck it’s the adding of 1 or 2 more bodies when the ball is already at the back that annoys me Yeah, that's what I would outlaw. When this was discussed on here it seemed universally popular and seemed easy to implement. I don't understand it tbh. Once the ref ca...

I can see Ewers coming in similarly to Mike Williams covering 6 and lock. Wouldn’t want him to restrict Carnduff potential game time

From what I’ve seen the French and Japanese clubs haven’t strongly recruited from them either.

It does mean they can stay closer to home while playing a higher grade of rugby

IMO the whole sourcing of southern hemisphere players has changed caused by a number of factors. The emergence of 2 competitive pacific islands super rugby teams, especially the Drua. Money in Japan meaning a number of New Zealanders are turning there for career breaks, with a shorter season and hig...

Really should be an Aled Walters thread. I have ad nauseam pointed out that SB wasn't the loss, it was AW. Players who are megafit don't knock on, they reach those passes, hit those gaps, make those tackles etc., and win games in the last quarter. For various reasons we have become adept at losing,...

A little more than that. With Feya Waboso given a license to roam where he fancies Baxter possibly feels he needs more solidity at the back rather than Hodge going awol too

Watching Sarries play imagine if we had managed to secure Cinti and González as opposed to Bassett and Rogerson. I honestly feel that the way other clubs capitalised on the 3 demised clubs players compared to us has been one of if not the biggest factor in the swing in a way. Prob only 4 clubs didn...

RBs point re an A league is excellent. You would have thought that with there only now being 10 clubs there would be a way of resurrecting this

Season was dead for me after the Brizzle game.
Looking forward to next season with hope and expectation.
Plenty of other rugby to be enjoyed

Watched highlights of the Castres Montpellier game, which from what I could see Montpellier should have won. No sign of Sam Simmonds from what I could see. Is he injured ? He must have had a quiet game because he was selected at 7 and was substituted in the 66th minute!! They were short highlights ...
