They are brothers yes, I asked on Twitter & the grandmother replied confirming it!

I don't think "cheating" is the right word about utilising the over run area anyway. The wording of the statements here suggests there was a dispute/query about which year £50k of spending should be accounted in, rather than it being undeclared income. Given the Covid era caused many chang...

Sounds like the cap is only going up a season then back down potentially. If so it does make you wonder if this player limit will actually come in. I think that's wishful thinking from some people. You cannot really cut the cap because teams have made plans and signed contracts, with all the nonsen...

Rugby Pass reporting that Farrell and Tuilagi both taking a pay CUT to play in France. Aren't the tax rules different in France? I could be wrong but whilst the actual salary might be less, the take home could be more? I've read that in France taxes are at household not individual, so you total up ...

Yeah, it's even worse than the RIL post! Almost every club had some funny tax on loss business that I don't really understand. Some of them seem straightforward surrendering of losses (like Sale).

So basically the England internationals are missing more games than this season, and we've deliberately clashed our season with the Rugby Championship more than needed to, just to satisfy a bunch of hooray tourists going on a jolly to a team ranked below Italy. The international beast cannot be sati...

Just realised its a Lions tour next summer so my assumptions were a bit off. The Lions first match is 20th June, so the Premiership final will be 14th June at earliest. That means season starting 21st September latest. So I'm anticipating: Sept 21th to 26th October: Premiership Rounds 1 to 6. Octobe...

I’m curious about Chessum Jnr and why he wasn’t picked above Carter in the cup. Last year he was as impressive if not more so that Carnduff in this years Under 20s 6 nations. So where has he been since? Is he injured? Harlequins brought Cunningham-South ( who played in that same team and was argot ...

Interesting if they are the only two, or if there will be a couple more after. If season starts on September 28th the England players will miss the first game of the season, and the two "training weeks" mid season. If the season starts on September 14th they'll miss the first 3, and it wil...

I do understand the frustration and a lot of it is fairly reasonable. That said, I do think we have been unlucky. Last year was unprecedented in terms of losing a coaching team mid-season like that. Also unlucky in that Pollard gets injured a matter of days before the SF. I do think if he plays, we...

I know it didn't go down too well on here when i suggested it last time, but i do stand by thinking that we need to look at upgrading Harry Wells. I appreciate he is a good club man, but the last 2 games against Gloucester he was completely ineffective. Tbh i'd say the same about the Ealing game as...

Thought Basham was mates with OHC at LI? Tbf I do agree somewhat about Hatherell. If he could rediscover the form he had for Worcester / La Rochelle I’d have no problems with him starting. He showed then he was a great carrier. Something he hasn’t quite shown in a Tigers shirt yet but the ability i...

Does anybody know how the summer series to Japan and NZ will impact the start of the 24/25 season? Will the internationals miss preseason again next time due to a rest period? Presuming a start date of September 28th the players used in the final test would miss the pre-season matches & the fir...

as per the Sam Carter thread, apparently back in Australia already.
