I get the feeling that this competition is not their priority. Interesting comment from one of Castres' Coaches, Joe El Abd, on their website...he says (loosely translated!) 'For them (Tigers), the Champions Cup is the biggest competition in the world, that's their benchmark.' Maybe suggests that i...

Here is the Castres team; missing a couple of star players, such as Urdapilleta, but great to see Mafi back at Welford Road. 15 Armand Batlle 14 Taylor Paris 13 Thomas Combezou 12 Afusipa Taumoepau 11 David Smith 10 Yohan Le Bourhis 9 Rory Kockott 1 Mihaïta Lazar 2 Marc Antoine Rallier 3 Damian Tuss...

What do we know about Tongan and Waratahs winger Atieli Pakalani then chaps? The source of all things genuine, Wikipedia, says he is nicknamed the 'Tongan Hitman'...He is another former Australian Sevens player, I believe...have seen him milling about the ground at the last two home games. Now I kn...

Quite like the idea of Harrison Ford being our half back combination!

I recall reading that this was likely to McCaffrey's last contract here as he was returning to Australia. I have no link or evidence, just recall reading it and discussing it with friends at the ground. If this is the case, maybe it makes sense to bring someone in that will be (hopefully) here for a...

Worcester may be without Val Rapava Ruskin, as he has been cited for allegedly pushing Greg Garner at the Newcastle Falcons game last Friday. He would be a big loss for them. http://www.worcesternews.co.uk/sport/15259464.Worcester_Warriors_prop_charged_by_RFU_after_allegedly_pushing_referee_Greg_Gar...
