Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
We are now in the Mitchell/Spencer era. Possibly JVP backing them up. About bloody time. We could easily skip past Spencer and have one of JVP, Quirke or even Randall on the bench. Spencer is only a couple of years younger than Youngs, or only a decade younger than Care! Which is to say Spencer's t...

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
Imagine picking care ahead of Spencer. Some good bits so far in this game. It's absolutely insane. Care is surely done now? Although he should've been retired years ago. Spencer seems tailor-made for test rugby but has never got a proper shot. Very strange. Makes my brain hurt. Pretty well matched ...

Re: Saracens vs Harlequins at Tottenham stadium (The Showdown)
Owen, come back please!!! Yep. Brings more control than Smith He may not be as naturally gifted but he's a much rugby player. Certainly you want someone like Farrell at test level. Quite the opposite, he doesn't have the time at international level that he does against this shambles of a Quins side...

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
Quins decide to make them look like the vintage all blacks- even Maitland and Daly looked world class- absolute shambles.
This Beard guy though, he can't be this bad surely? Played like an absolute vagina.
Dan and Baxter were handy.

Take a look at Mercer’s record in the Top 14, most carries ever (by a mile), most defenders beaten, most offloads, most metres by a forward. He has a phenomenal engine. He may get the plaudits for the fancy stuff but he absolutely doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff either. Look at the stats, and ...
