I wouldn't trust the current bunch of arseholes to organise a piss up in a brewery.

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
If I were in Scabnose's shoes, I'd have a massive clearout, similar to what Gatland did last year. After the RWC this 6N is basically a free hit-out for him. He's not going to get sacked for winning two games, and can point to progress by bringing in some youngsters. There are enough players puttin...

When in the last decade have Bath not had a "decent clearout" at the end of any season? Transfer roulette. They'll be shit again next season. And even fewer players from the academy. Why will they?

Good for him. He's a decent player, and obviously not getting a sniff from rfu or aru. No arguments about him being a good player.

He's just not a leader. There's no vision or direction. 'We're just thinking about the next game' is a cliche for most people, but for Borthwick the short-term is everything.
