I understand that Prem teams have sponsorship from Qatar? Airways.

See the thread on the World Club Championship for confirmation.

Rob Baxter throwing doubt on the whole idea. IF it is properly funded and organised and IF there is profit in it for the clubs then he's OK with it. But, if it's the usual suck it and see he foresees many problems. Having to arrange a quick flight to France, for instance, is costing the club 10s of ...

Relocating to another city's football ground did London Welsh no favours. Yep, or as it turned out, Irish when they moved back into London. I do wonder about the rigour of the "business case" that is made for these moves. Saracens started out recruiting South Africans not just because of ...

Relocating to another city's football ground did London Welsh no favours.

Vodacom Bulls have highlighted the difficulties they face with the uncertainty of knowing where their next game in the European Cup will be played when knockout games are a week apart. Players are booked on 8 different flights to get to Saints for next Saturday; some direct, some via Schipol. Simila...

The Times today, has a report that Europe and Super Rugby are closer to a Club World Cup in 2028.

I know that in days of old it could be used as a tactical move to give a breather or two but this feels different. People, and a lot of them, seem to be tying their bootlaces beca...

I've a sneaky feeling Saints might turn the Bulls over at the Gardens. Toulouse, Bordeaux and Leinster, I agree, will be the others.

We were largely written off and so could, perhaps, play with a freedom not often seen. It proved to be worthwhile. As others have noted, take away the intercept and add in OHC's try and ... who knows. However, we are now back at the sharp end of the Premiership season. Will we resort to our earlier ...

Effort from the Tigers was excellent but the execution was often poor, panicky (look at OHC's butchered try). Confidence is the key. In our glory days, I remember Tigers being behind and the stadium being quiet. Johnno looked around, the fans perked up, the side perked up and the opposition trembled...

And me. And in their first try too.

Saracens put to the sword by Bordeaux - again.
