They walked out because they want investors like Buttress and co to put money in, but have no say on the rugger matters at the reejun. Well we knew that weeks ago. How onerous was it? And this is the worst region with hardly a leg to stand on, being gifted a region, and still saying no - in 10 minu...

I don’t think it can be understated how useless the dregs and Turks have been for a decade at producing any pro players whatsoever. Teddy Williams is a lovely, smart player, the best lock in wales.

I think the most pleasing thing for me about this autumn series is the dramatic uptick in form and performances we've shown since identifying Gatland as our biggest problem and binning him off. A 1pt win over the Japanese and record defeats in our other three games are real vindication of that deci...

It would be dangerous to assume this will be a cakewalk. NZ need to turn up ready to play. If the attitude is off or we get too cute with selections, loss #4 for the year could well be on the cards.

For me the '70s; more specifically 75 onwards (I turned 12 in 75 so I could actually really remember and understand matches).
