Yes.

Same with the Ireland or Safrican XVs.

As I say too much negativity, it can't be done, it is inevitable, most people don't want to watch/understand rugby type attitude. Mistakes have been made in the past - let's learn from them. It's important to understand the strength of other clubs is important to us as our health is to them. Being ...

There isn't an idea I detest more than creating regional franchises in English rugby. However... many of the same arguments were made against cricket's The Hundred, and that competition is attracting TV viewers and attendances that the county game could only dream of. I would just point out that re...

So you agree as a back up 8 Liebenburg has been decent for us. As I said we couldn't use him as a like for like Weise replacement but if we were to introduce a big number 6 like say Dave Ewers ,who is rumoured to be leaving Ulster, then across the two of them you could make it work. The big 6 takin...

While there are enough wealthy men happy to subsidise Prem clubs the game will limp on in it's current form.

If enough of those people pull out, we will be left with franchises or clubs cutting their salaries.

Tiglon is happy that they are putting prices up in order for us to remain competitive, sounds good but the trick is to increase revenue, if higher ticket prices means fewer renewals the net result maybe a loss of income. As a Direct debit customer i have received a notification thanking me for rene...

I disagree. I think Liebenburg has been decent at 8 for us. Before this season he's generally been the back up option behind first Taufua and then Weise. With the right 6 he could definitely drop back into that role for us but it would need to be a big physical 6. That's not entirely true. Last sea...

I'm happy they're putting the prices up. It's either that, slash the salary spend or go out of business. I appreciate it makes it more difficult for some to afford, and that's a shame, but it seems necessary. I was going to say Tigers aren't a charity, but even if they were they'd still have to brea...

Jeeez, that was an embarrassing and inept England performance. Who was there for on field leadership and to shake up the team at half time when the writing was clearly on the wall? Should George be captain ? I remain convinced that the balance of the back row is completely wrong. Earl, a fine playe...

Liebenberg has been tried at 8 and he lacks the dynamism. He's an out and out 6 in my opinion, perfectly suited to that role. Please leave him there! I disagree. I think Liebenburg has been decent at 8 for us. Before this season he's generally been the back up option behind first Taufua and then We...

Moving positions is rare once a player gets to the level that Steward or Martin have. Tom Youngs was after failing to make it as a centre. That said, a 4/6 moving to 8 is not bonkers, and a lot easier than centre to hooker - there isn't much technical difference, or a specific skill that one has and...

If people are happy to pay for all that while not being there then more power to them ,your comparison is way off too I’m afraid ,posters are talking about paying for things they are not getting to support a multi million pound business so your analogy doesn’t work at all. If Saints rang you, Scott...

The difference between the two teams was a couple of poor passes by England, why rip everything up? Lawrence is pretty clearly the best option at 12 in my opinion, even though he didn't have a good one today - although Ford's passing to him was not entirely helpful. England's biggest problem for me ...
