Re: Farrell "steps back" from international rugby

We missed Wilkinson because he was genuinely world class. Like top 5 fhs ever. He was certainly good behind a dominant pa...

I'm genuinely surprised that anyone thinks this is worse than bloodgate.

Sarries may have had a reckless indifference to the cap, but that is nowhere near as bad, even ...

I'm of the opinion that it was so ham fisted that Wray must have legitimately thought that co-investments would not impact the cap.
