Love to see Jamie back at Irish but given our finances its a long shot. 17:OO cut off time to find out if Ford Genge Manu have walked from Tiggs. Manu must regret not taking the R92 offer so perhaps a visit Far East as hes box office Ford Genge less likely but no doubt playing hard ball on salary a...

I thought Ben Spencer was going on loan not on a 3 year contract! That's a good signing for Bath

And for England too, hopefully.

I think had Germany not committed the blunder of advancing too far east thus stretching themselves, and concentrated first by only going west, the UK probably would have been taken over a very long time . Despite German efficiency and engineering, when it came down to it they made very stupid decis...

Burns to Japan, Goode (loan), Matthews and Kruis also possibly to Japan (the latter having been on the books for quite some time).

https://www.rugbypass.com/news/england-player-ratings-vs-wales-5 Joe Marler – 7 Anchored the English scrum and exerted plenty of pressure on Wales. Picked up the slack as a ball-carrier close to the ruck, as well as defending influentially in the same area. Question marks over his ball-handling, tho...

When is Marchant back? End of the Super Rugby season?

how has Ben Morgan been playing ? he ever going to feature again for Eng ? Like the rest of the team, poorly. To be honest I wouldn’t have him starting for Glaws at the moment let alone England. Ackermann is a far better player now. There was talk a while back of Ackermann declaring for England whe...

My heart always sinks a bit seeing Dunn in the squad, he's just a decent Prem player imo. Then I remember that outside George and LCD, there really aren't any standout English hookers, which is a bloody travesty. Only 2 hookers so Dunn will see game time. Think you are being a bit harsh, he has loo...

Some chat in the Wail today that the England v Italy game could be relocated, with the two named options being either Twickenham or St James' Park. As it was due to be an way game, taking it to St. James' would be a good option and a gesture towards engagement with the north. Believe the players sa...

He has also said recently that Ben Earl has done some work covering centre and wing.

Just watched the first half again. Think the forwards put in a decent shift..far better than anything since the semi final. Cunderhill ruling the breakdown. We kicked the leather off the ball and it was the right thing to do..a bit unlucky to only be 3 points up tp be honest. In relation to the for...

I actually thought the pack did a really good job out there. Lineout was an utter lottery but George, Kruis and Maro did a great job, ref was daftly picky on some of the not straights when you consider what they normally let teams get away with. Not many handing errors, not too many penalties, good...

JJ picked to give Scotland Vietnam vet style shivers when a chopper goes past Scotland also love to fling it wide early doors, and if there’s one player who’s an expert at picking-off those kind of high risk passes it’s JJ He's also (generally) very good at defending the wider channels against team...

The one thing Youngs did really well last week was actually exit a couple of times when we were pinned back in the corner. There was one play where he reacted incredibly quickly to a ball on the deck near our line, and put in an incredible clearing kick. Can only assume it was because there wasnt t...

It looked as though he was sent on and told to run the exact same plays that Tuilagi would have.

Your f**king obsessed with him

He is terrible and shouldn't be starting for England. This may not be the worst he has played, but doesn't change things overall.

To be fair we do have a couple of decent scrummies waiting in the wings, but Eddie just won't move to them. The decline of the nine: Why don't England produce scrum halves any more? With most starting scrum halves in the Premiership over 30, where will the next crop of English number nines come from...

Out of the uncapped players, who are we hoping will get a decent shot at showing what they can do for England?

For me it would be Furbank, Stuart and Thorley. The first two for the greater depth at 15 and 3, but Thorley looks a hell of a winger.

geordie_6

No Dombrandt and same scrummies? Christ...

Furbank well deserved mind.

Simmonds has allegedly been told he has no international future by EJ. Actually a poor reflection on Jones, as the backrow is all about balance, and the role Simmonds was given was not balanced. He did as well as most others would have done, and has since proved himself more than capable against a ...

Billy V off with suspected broken forearm (again). Going to have to test a new 8 now (Dombrandt hopefully).

Based on that start, they are well up for this.

They can now flip their plan, play the main side in Europe and rotate a lot in the Premiership.

Not officially confirmed, but article in the Guardian states Sarries will accept another 35 point deduction and therefore relegation.
