I would support any team against Sarries, in any competition, with the possible exception of Leinster. And then it would be a toss up, depending on the general situation at the time.

Was listening to the BBC Leicester podcast with the Tom West interview, I agree with Chris Egerton he talks after reading between the lines that West had signed for Saracens possibly before he joined us. I wonder if Sarries had actually stepped in as soon as he signed for Ealing? Or did Sarries com...

thought John Mitchell was taking over

He is. From BBC article:

"Currently defence coach for Japan's men's team, Mitchell will join England after the World Cup ends in October."

Great highlights. Hope Wigglesworth takes note as I honestly believe he must start at Full Back v Leinster and if fit Exeter. Freddie is great but teams know that he isn’t an attacking threat for us! Freddie onto the wing please. And well done Mike Brown with supporting Luther Burrell. My wife and ...

I don't know, he play a blinder last season

With emphasis on blind (poor lad)

For me was always going to be Farrell-Manu-Slade midfield for this game. I don’t buy Manu has been in camp to run as Danty - anyone could do that, not like they would be doing loads of full contact sessions. Surprised the journo’s lapped it up As he was banned, he wasn't there to be in the matchday...

On the last Rugby Pod it was mentioned that Billy V and Borthwick apparently had a falling out and that he would not be getting selected again. I would guess that there are enough options in the back row that something could be kludged together to sort of work. In The Times it said that they hadn't...

Really disappointed with this. As per others we travel about an hour. Don't mind doing this twice in two days but on a midweek night its almost impossible for me to get to a 7pm KO with work Also, others got the Baabas, we get a second string Italy and a under 20's saints fixture..... IIRC the othe...

Let’s face it, aside from Billy V, we don’t have an English 8 who can punch holes for us. The sad fact is, from what I’ve seen, Cunningham-South maybe the only thing close to what we need, and he’d only just started out. Billy hasn’t looked too dynamic the last few times he played for England. Perh...

Can anyone explain how Manu is in the squad when he is suspended? England can only retain 26 players. The squad is 27, so Manu is there as as an additional training resource. Sale not too worried about losing him as they have enough players fit to train. I read somewhere that they were using Manu a...
