Underhill has just signed a new contract, so he's not going anywhere. Thanks. Lots of depth at 7 there then. I suppose Underhill injury record and absence with England means there will be plenty of opportunity Cloete is supposed to be leaving would leave Underhill and then utility backrow Miles Rei...

Been mentioned in dispatches for a while though only just confirmed. He won’t be going there as back up he’s too good, so wonder if it indicates Underhill moving on He's an uncapped 20 year old. He'll be there as rotation initially and likely taking Cloete's spot in the squad. it's not like Pepper ...

Bath sign Guy Pepper from Newcastle on a three year deal. Another good signing... Been mentioned in dispatches for a while though only just confirmed.

Even at 100K increases each that should count for 300K extra off. I struggle to see us just signing 3 players, I don't expect any more obvious starters for next season but depth wise centres will be bare bones. I don't see realistically how we could afford to buy out Simmonds and Marchant and if an...

Whereas we definitely have the ability to run it from our own half and Saints definitely don't have any jackle threats like Lawes, Langdon, Pearson or Ludlam available to them.

Watching the BUCS final: Meredith with a lovely chip for a break and miss pass to assist. Gourlay with a nice dart down the left early on too. Seb Smith with a good carry after a miss throw Exeter line out to give Loughborough a gainline carry and a peach of a line by Chris Preen to score. At centr...

Bath confirm Molony I know Barf fans are excited but to me honestly this feels like a signing we would've made pre Borthwick. Good squad player but just a solid level starter. I guess it depends on how Bath view him in the depth chart but looking at their locks I would say he's prob gonna be a star...

As for the likes of Bath, Quins and of course Sarries, they seem much more capable on turning it on and going all the way. We've beat all of Quins, Bath (twice) and Saints this season. I not sure we are firing enough shots to win the thing but we've found a way of grinding out results this season, ...

Where ever we finish this season I would be amazed if McKellar was sacked before being given time to show what he can do. Success is not an overnight thing, where there is overnight success is usually when the previous incumbent was actually better than thought and impatient Directors lacked the pa...

Worth pointing out that Saints have not beaten us in a league match at Franklin's Gardens since before the pandemic. In fact I think every visit since the pandemic has coincided with their annual fire drill... There is a different sort of pressure on them as table toppers at home to "finally&q...

Less. Tom Farrell at Connaught has been linked with Munster.

Thanks Sam. Yes it would appear that Barrett will be missing the super rugby season with the Canes. Interesting what you say about Frawley and yet our Irish friends insist there is no interference from their Union When central contracts are involved there's always going to be an element of interfer...

My nipper just sent me the full strength Leinster side. Salary cap? Level playing field? It's a sick joke! Well there isn't one in the URC. Leinster's salary spend is allegedly around the 10m Euros mark. More in line with the French clubs. It was around that in 2018-2020. It’ll be a bit more by now...
