Betfair have them at 32-32 76 mins, but I hope you're right as I have a tenner on LI

B365 has it 32 - 29

LI hanging on. Goode has just missed two sitters

LI pen. Now 32 - 29

Best try of the lot for Lewington from his own half after another chip through. Hat trick and try bonus 29 - 23

Try for Irish. Beautiful delayed pass from Geraghty to put Cowan through a hole. 7 - 10 to Sarries. Decent game so far Sarries reply with a penalty then shocking blindside defence allows Wigglesworth to scoot in from the 22. 7 - 20 Try Irish for Lewington after a cross kick. Really is a great game S...

Henry Slade has signed a new long-term contract with Exeter Chiefs. When I looked at their announcement I didn't notice them specifying what long term meant in practice. Good news for them. Nice core of young English talent down there. They are an easy team for a neutral to like. Speaking of contra...

Good to see those ritin' skills being put to good use again Jake, I'm getting mixed messages though. http://i.imgur.com/gZCHg6Q.jpg :lol: TBF that is pretty easy to do. From memory the review function has thumb up selected by default and you have to remember to change it manually before hitting pos...

Thought the gameplay seemed familiar. By all accounts (multiple comments on their FB page) it's the 2005 engine with some of the functionality removed. Used to be able to choose where kick offs landed etc and have more tactical control from memory. Also explains why you can kick it out on the full w...

Yep, technically a tip but it happened in slow motion never more than a foot above the ground. There has to be some space for common sense.

Boy that's harsh

Purdy played much at 13 before? Thought he looked okay at JWC, not especially quick (for a wing) or explosive, but seemed to pick intelligent running lines. At least he knows the opposition centres.

Probably worth stating that while players probably wouldn't have gone to Irish for facilities/S&C in the past, they probably have gone a fair way towards catching up this season. The new training facilities at Hazelwood are a huge improvement on the old setup and include a gym that was designed by S...

Meh, Needs a patch or two for sure. Rating errors are one thing, but you'd think someone would have run their eye over things to make sure people were at least listed in the right position. Keep getting an irritating 'not a valid substitution error' with no explanation (players of the same position)...

Paul Marshall is the same rating as Pienaar

Is there a database editor to fix that stuff?

Don't think so unfortunately. Some of the ratings are all over the place/players in wrong positions etc.

Haven't played any of these before. Sell it to me! Btw, for anyone considering it's 25% off on Steam till the 22nd. Hard to know really, the last one was made a decade ago. Was okay as far as I can remember. Realistically, it's got a fraction of the budget of something like Football Manager, so exp...

I know there's a thread or two somewhere, but life's too short to trawl back looking for it.

Released today and just downloading it on Steam now. Anyone played it yet?

Perhaps this means there was some truth in what Twatland kept telling the media. Pretty embarrassing from the world's richest domestic league. Samoa lock Daniel Leo has revealed he joined London Irish to get in better shape for the Rugby World Cup than if he'd stayed in France. Leo spent four years...

Pretty ludicrous from the ECB.

The confrontation wasn't even initiated by him. Prince told him to 'fudge off back to cover point' as he took up a close catching position. Just can't see how any panel can seriously consider calling someone Kolpak, racist.

Just can't see Robshaw being in danger this autumn. He's actually playing okay in a side that isn't. Ditching him on the evidence of two AP rounds, doesn't strike me as something Bomber would do realistically. We've got a few more rounds to come before Lancaster has to announce his EPS, and even mo...

What a softcock. A league is all about mixtures of squad players, senior academy, AASE and the odd loan/trial player.

Surely they can cobble enough together to fulfill the fixture.

Margin_Walker

Wasps need to bite the bullet and move somewhere that does not and is not likely to have a premiership football team. They will also have to think seriously about rebranding. At the moment they are one relegation season away from obvlivion. In the long run the clubs that will succeed will probababl...

Margin_Walker

Wouldn't be the worst option. Never really got the Wood thing. He's a decent player and obviously offers a lineout option in the back row. But otherwise, as neither a Saints or Quins fan, Robshaw is the more impressive player imo.

Margin_Walker

Mick Cleary turning the hysterical up to 11 in th Telegraph - Robshaw should be jettisoned to make way for Kvesic/Fraser/Haskell and Farrell made captain. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/international/england/11097376/Stuart-Lancasters-England-captain-for-the-World-Cup-needs-to-be-in-pla...

Regardless of what went on. Rio's whinging in the press is beyond pathetic.

Good news for the richer clubs.

And Quins who are saddled with Nev for the next two seasons

Ouch. Isn't he mid thirties now? Whoever gave him the contract must have been confident in his longevity.

Where are those figures from? I make it 29 from 45 EQP for Irish @ 64% I assume you have a few residency ones that I didn't get. Leo Halavatau? Scott Steele? Andrew Fenby? And one more? Is Noakes EQ? Yep, all four of those are EQ as far as I'm aware. Noakes by family, doubt we would have signed him...

If anyone had that table predicted as a whole then fair play.

TBF it's only two games in. Not really a massive amount to read into it just yet.

Agree with all of this. I have been really disappointed in Parr so far this season. He was a bit of a solid and unsung hero last year. The gulf between him and Court so far has been far bigger than I expected. Yep, Parr was reasonably solid last year. We only really went backwards when Yapp was on ...
