currently 57-5 up, total domination, though disgracefully the Scottish women are NOT full time professionals, SRU hang your heads ...
It was only 2019 when England became the first national women's 15 a side squad to go full time professional and the RFU is far richer giant than the SRU minnow so let's not get too high and mighty...
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?

yes it took the RFU too long but that doesn't mean the SRU aren't a disgrace in not paying their players, I'm not talking massive money I'm talking a living wage

In an article on Dom Barrow in the Telegraph:

“I wanted to change the rhetoric from being the trialist that is now a Sale Sharks player to being the guy that was the marquee player at Northampton Saints and a future England international.”

He was a marquee player at Saints? Surprising!

Pretty sure he couldn't have been a marquee player at Saints, having been with Tigers in the previous salary cap year... :smt017

He was also never a future England international, due to the fact that he did not become an England international. He might have hoped to be a future England international, but that's something entirely different.

I think the quote is that he still plans to become an international!

This! Dom at his best,which wasn't seen a lot mind you,was better than any version of Ewels. I expect he's one of these "lineout gurus" you hear about

It might seem daft, but England don't have a surplus of 2m tall, 120+kg locks. Now that Kruis is retired, Launchbury is the heaviest lock England will be able to feasibly play.

Chessum is only 2kg shy and I’d take him every day over Barrow
