Re: Eddie Jones: I need 3 years to change the team

He was unlucky not to win at least one 6 Nations. Had Haskell not run into the post....etc etc.. The RWC was a cock up. The writing was on the wall with the squad selection. He massively panicked. He panicked with the selection for Wales, The stupid thing is that they then had a massive lead to see...

Re: OFFICIAL EU/UK referendum thread

Will the Scots (Scottish referendum no voters) be pissed off in the event of a Brexit vote? Or like the DUP in the north are they just happy to go with a Brexit? Hard to say.

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread

Tigers sign Bristol and England u20's prop Ellis Genge on a short term loan deal. I guess to assess him before a longer deal, as we don't have any particularly pressing prop issues. Good signing I think, he looked very good in last year's JWC or 6N, can't remember which. He's 21 now. Getting a bit ...
