Re: Is 18 years old too young to play Pro rugby ?
Tom and Ben Curry were 19 (or maybe even 18) when they played a test vs Argentina. It depends on the player. That was just appalling tackling technique, especially against a 16 stone Fijian Well apart from Ben not actually going on that tour or having a cap. Pedantry. Tom Curry was 18 or 19 when he...

Re: Aussie players coining it after Force's demise
The overall Super Rugby salary cap has been adjusted to a total of Aus$5.5million (US$4.3 million), with the average player receiving Aus$225,000 in 2018. Reports said this was a rise of about 10 percent. Also, how does this work? $5.5m/$225,000 = 24 players. Squad size is now 40 right? I think the...

Normally if moving to Fitzrovia or the surrounding area I'd say get yourself to St Albans - you get much more for your money there, it's quieter and only 15/20 minute train ride into Kings X.
