Re: Farrell "steps back" from international rugby
Bottom line is we'll miss him when he's gone. Look at the period from when Wilkinson started his perma-crock phase and the emergence of Farrell. Andy f#cking Foode anyone?! LOL. We missed Wilkinson because he was genuinely world class. Like top 5 fhs ever. He was certainly good behind a dominant pa...

Re: Saracens punished -35 points and £5m
I'm genuinely surprised that anyone thinks this is worse than bloodgate. Yes, bloodgate had a lower impact, but it was a deliberate attempt to cheat by abusing rules that were created to protect players. 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.
