Re: Pitch Black

Have had a couple of these imitation Guinness now and really can't find words to describe the experience. For once in my drinking life I'm at a loss.

Re: England Squad - OTY Dropped !!!!!

Logically one would assume the rule is their at the behest of the clubs, not the RFU. The RFU presumably would prefer no restrictions, but the clubs could not plan if suddenly 33 players were rotated in and out of the EPS part of the way through a season. The "Rule" is indeed part of the ...
