I think some of the problem is that Eddie does try new players, there's been a lot who have had less than 10 caps (and a quick google shows nearly 50 new caps under Eddie!) but they don't make it. Is Eddie saying he needs to see them playing test rugby to see if they are good enough or is there a re...

Good bit on Scotty Robinson in this weeks Rugby Pod. Well worth a listen

I think the answer to how to stop kicking is to figure out why it's so much better to kick the ball away and adjust that rather than limit the kicking itself. Iff for example, it's too easy to get turned over in contact if you have the ball, figure out why and adjust so that the attacking team has t...

Eddie's already admitted that they havn't (so far) played well together but has said that they will have another 10(ish) chances before the world cup so will be better by then. Don't expect a change any time soon unless it's forced by injury... Oh, and 1 good game together will justify a dozen failu...

It gets worse.... The players are actually paid by a different company, 'WRFC Players Ltd'. This is separate to the club that went into administration. So the contracts may be with a club (company) in administration or may be with a company that is still trading. One guess who owes the Players Ltd c...

Steward, JVP and Martin re-signed. Absolutely brilliant bit of news (and work by the club)

Last season I booked on someone's drive as above, but found lots of parking on Omaha way (which was a lot closer) and walked to the ground which is pretty close. Bit of a pig to leave with the traffic after but that's pretty standard anywhere near a stadium!

That'd rule out a lot of tries in the corner...

Stunning offload!

But not Watson.... Does this tell us anything?

He was overheard asking Eddie for a special French pass, I don't know the outcome of that but I suspect it'll be a no if it was for Itoje last season.

Anthony Watson off from Bath - as said by the man himself. Apparently considering France or a move to LI.

I'm actually struggling to criticise that selection!

Well done Ollie, sure you'll be able to get a run out!

He's not been picked yet has he?

Jacob is a very decent player but wasn't he released from our academy if I remember correctly? Even if we were interested in him, that might sour things the other way!

I've never quite understood how someone can be in the training squad, then if there's an injury, someone different gets the call, but there we go! It'll be good to not have to shoehorn Farrell in the side but there's no doubt he gave time to Smith on a number of occasions at the weekend, time he won...
