I wish I was a better human being and could find some shred of sympathy but I am not and do not.

Well don't look at me... :smt005 :smt046
No, not that one!

Remember, whatever you do to the smallest of the backs you do to his prop, and you can't avoid the rucks and mauls forever...

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

I was wondering as to whether Lamositele would be a potential addition when Cole retires.

The panel sits at 18:00 on Friday but which Friday? Not today I guess. My wife’s got a big soft spot for Glasgow Warriors and a distaste for Sarries. She’s ultra keen to see the Warriors reinstated.

How can a professional organisation not have the processes in play to ensure they are not caught out by something so basic?

Sometimes I wonder if I could make a fortune in consultancy.

I have little sympathy for the owners of Saracens, but I do vaguely remember Tigers being found guilty of fielding an ineligible player at some point in the past on a similar technicality. Anyone remember the details!?

Indeed dear Manu had technically outstayed his visa.

A player (maybe Humphries) had been out on loan and not re-registered on return, I believe the paperwork had been sent but we had not received the fax confirming that the details had been processed by PRL. We got docked a point I think, I seem to remember Saracens were guilty of something similar at the same time.

Surely if Saracens are docked points, and I fail to see how they won't be, then they have absolutely nothing to play for and the exodus can begin. Just need to find a way to find some spare cap - perhaps TPN fancies playing super rugby and Singleton can come in?

Just looked back and checked my previous post, it wasn't Humphries we were punished for playing it was Darren Morris, so easy to get the two confused!

EPC rugby site reports 50k fine, but no points deduction. Shame.

I guess they wore a suit and said sir.
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….
