Re: Saracens take-over

Didn't know that so it prompted me to have nose around on t'internet. Found an article by someone called John Winter entitled "Who Owns Harlequins". Very briefly he explains that it is two wealthy investment financiers both from overseas, one Australian the other South African who - ironic...

Re: Saracens take-over

Not a surprise, I guess, we have known for several months that this announcement was coming although still not sure about my response to the news. On the one hand, indifference, why should we be concerned about ownership-change of one of our opponents but on the other a slightly deeper and more gene...

Claimed to be a 30,000 crowd in Rome - doesn't look like it to me

Re: GP / Six Nations plus others - w/e 04-06th February 2022

I would give Marcus a bit more credit than some for that try. One of his many assets is a quick mind and just as the ball became visible at the back of the mail he spotted more space on the blind and went for it straight away Ben caught him with a glance to his left and gave him the inch perfect pas...

Re: Leicester v Bordeaux (H) - 22nd January 2022 - 15:15

Whilst bad commercially this can only be to our advantage long term with players resting and guaranteed a top 2 place.

Re: Formerly of this parish

True, I'd rather overlooked that. I guess many of the Tongans ( including our own Saumaki) playing rugby in Europe this weekend may have had their minds on matters more important than rugby.

Re: New Salary Cap Breach?

Re: New Salary Cap Breach?

BBC reports SB as saying that "this investigation is going back years". It's not about this team
