I've only seen him a few times but Hendy is great. Just seems to find gaps effortlessly. That Saints team look so well coached in general though. Vesty has done a brilliant job. Hopefully Wiggy had his notebook to hand while he was watching that one. Saints have a lovely shape in first phase attack...

3 of the last 5 in the champions cup are English

Blatant high tackle, ref shrugs and gives a knock on

polyallstar

The ref is looking straight at that ffs, how’s he not getting that in real time

Penalty call for the Bulls try was utterly dreadful

Jack Nowell not exactly making the case for capping French based players…

Quins have been brilliant. Very surprising scoreline. Baxter impressing at prop and Porter has been excellent. Baxter impresses every time I see him, looks like a big babyface- if he looked rougher I reckon the hype would be off the charts. Needs a Mohawk and some tats… Can Quins carry this through!

"England’s radical plan to create a first-class production line of props, hookers and locks RFU’s inaugural front-five get-together unites 26 promising teenage players, with future World Cup success the target" https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2023/10/03/england-rugby-front-five-young-player...

On the other side of the coin, how many props have successfully transitioned into senior test rugby from the U20s? None of the props from the 2020 GS-winners have yet been capped. Go back 7 years to the all-conquering 2017 U20s 6N side, and none of the props have been capped for the senior team. Go...

The good news about all these Under 20 players that aren’t as good as X or you don’t rate that highly, is that they’re almost guaranteed to get better. They’re 19. We need to be giving them the best environments to develop to their potential. I don’t know if that means bringing them on a tour to NZ...

Yeah Toulon. Fûck having him run at you. He’s obnoxiously, comedically big. Only ever seemed to play well in his two spells for Newcastle, I can only assume he’s at his best powered entirely on Greggs Maybe the scrum coach up there? Adam Jones was a magician with Sinkler and also seems to have kept...

Big Kieran Brookes. Gutted he didn’t work out Shit yeah he's a big lad, I ran straight at him once and he ended me. Think he's been going well in France unless I'm making that up?

Sarries confirm Sam Spink for next season, does he come straight into the England squad for summer tour? Think he'd be worthwhile as looks an upgrade on Kelly/Dingwall...

Sorry, I meant tight heads who have been selected head of collier. Ah right, Sinckler, Cole, Davidson and Stuart have been the only ones I can think of. Going back further Harry Williams, Henry Thomas and we tried to cap Patrick Schickerling but he wasn't eligible :blush: edit; Paul Hill got a few ...

Collier is a magnitude better scrummager. Post 2019 Sinkler has been cold sick as well. Who else has play tight head? Can't think. Asher Opuku-Fordjour, Afolabi Fasogbon, Tim Hoyt are all young prospects with a lot of potential Joe Heyes, Ehren Painter more established prem players alongside previo...

from an England point of view was encouraging to see some much needed good performances in the front row(s) Baxter and Collier were good v Glasgow (Quins looked worse for swapping Baxter to Marler) Painter and Obano had a good battle Iyogun looked very powerful and can't be far off the summer tour?...

Not sure that Leinster will go all the way though

Quite a few missing for Leicester too, not a classic Leinster performance

That tackle from Leinster 12

Zero arms but so ineffective no one is bothered

Jenkins. Wouldn't disagree, tbh
If that's who he meant, yes, that was what my lucky comment referred to.

Yeah the earlier knock on, Frawleys was a genuine attempt

Quins architects of their own downfall so far…

If all we want is a big lad on the wing to crash it up might as well pick Steward, at least he can chase kicks too...

Leicester down to 12 and sounds like a dozen pens after the 80 had gone… not close enough to the try line for a PT but Falcons will feel a little aggrieved

How many times? They can't change the rules. The agreement between rfu and prl depends upon it.

This, the comment about South Africa highlights the OPs ignorance. This rule isn’t in place to make the England better…

Mercer may, or may not, thrive at international level - but he's certainly done enough at Domestic level that you'd really want to find out - and do it fairly soon. At the moment we're just an injury away from not knowing who our number 8 will be. Based on six nations it’s Dombrandt… CCS made more ...

Diamond press conference confirms that Pepper and Louis Johnson are leaving at the end of the season. Didn't say where but Pepper has been linked wit Bath often so assume he'll go there, especially after Diamond took a swipe at them in the press conference. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GJNEqvMWoAM_Vd...
