The side includes eight players from Brooksby Melton College (SMB College Group) and three players from Stamford School, Oakham School and Oldswinford Hospital School, Stourbridge....

Exeter have had a lot of investment via Rowes firm, there is a lot of money in there, and the incomers from London etc have interests, along with the Rowe family, in the massive developments on the farmland to the East of Sandy Park. The issue with all clubs is TV exposure and national profile. Reg...

I would like to see 1. Cronin/Whitcombe 2. Clare 3. Hurd 4. Henderson 5. Wells 6. Cracknell 7. Liebenberg (C) 8. Jansen 9. Edwards 10. Burns 11. Potter 12. Kelly 13. Cokanasiga 14. Murimurivalu 15. Watson 16. Vanes 17. Whitcombe/Cronin 18. Richardson 19. Snyman 20. Martin/Koroiyadi/Owen 21. Youngs 2...

I still think that back row is a player light. Chessum will be back game week 3 and Weise at start of December, that's if Weise does the European series with SA they might opt to mix it up given the number of options at 8 and the third and fourth choice having only a couple of caps between them. We...

Shelly is EQP and young potentially a case of sign now whilst cheap or risk missing him later.

And Ashton is 35. Watson, Porter and Steward could all be away with England as well.

He's in the UK as well. Pictured in Sydney departures 2 days ago.

Not sure if it’s related to Nemani leaving or possibly to accommodate Hegarty to leave early as has been rumoured… but I’ve seen on Instagram that we are apparently signing Lachlan Shelley from NSW Shute Shield. A quick google leads to the knowledge of a ~22yrs winger / FB who can kick goals. The l...

At 5:14, when Freddie S scores in the corner against Saints, there's a young lad celebrating in.....next year's home jersey.

Creepy

That is the 2012-2014 jersey…

I really can't see Steward going, he's probably gonna be an England regular for years and that's 20/25k a game and he's at a club that wants to dominate domestically and in Europe. He's a nice kid so that rules out Sarries so realistically wheres he gonna go? Judging by his Instagram, he does seem ...

Still think we're short of a senior openside flanker to cover for Reffell being away.

So we are going with 3 hookers then to start the season? Or will we use Vanes in the PRC? Well we'll have four but one is on loan at Nottingham to keep match fit and be recalled if we need him. Still doesn't answer my question! Do you think think we will use 3 or 4 hookers at the start of the seaso...

Farrell signs a 2 year extension. Clever by Ireland, not long enough that they cannot assess the situation well before the next world cup but long enough to take him off the radar for England after the this World Cup. Edwards it is then 😉 Or Scott “Razor” Robertson from the Crusaders. Has said he w...

Thanks Stan, I've really enjoyed these highlights reels. Apologies if I missed it but has one been done for Nemani Nadolo? If not can I be cheeky and request one if you have the time and inclination. I’d also love a Chessum highlights. Or a highlight reel of George Martin knocking people over, with...

Could this be what we wanted to hear? https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/tommy-reffells-future-wales-eligibility-24590800 Am I the only who is concerned this isn't the greatest news? Reffell might be on a rolling contract but does that mean we can adjust his wages? If he signed th...
