Dickson implied it was Claire Hodnett's fault in Twitter befeore deleting.
He's had two stinkers in a row in the Prem and can't possibly be in line for a 6N match?

I could see Borthwick picking something like... Steward, Watson, Slade, Kelly, OHC, Farrell, JvP Genge, George, Cole, Itoje, Ribbans, Chessum, Curry, Billy/Willis Reps - McGuigan?, Rapava-Ruskin, Stuart/Sinckler, Hill, Earl, Youngs, Smith, Murley? I wouldn't pick Cole FWIW. He's not great in the lo...

Harlequins prop Joe Marler has publicly apologised to Bristol flanker Jake Heenan for the comments that triggered a fracas during the two sides’ Gallagher Premiership game at the Stoop yesterday.

Big no for me. I'm not against a completely decadent sandwich ... in my fatter days, I used to do a burger patty, sliced up hot dog, cheese on a toasted bagel. Might have even popped a fried egg on at one stage. But that cheese looks disgusting. Those are the bottom basement quality of fish fingers...

They'd have had a review post 6N, and a review post autumn series. After two poor campaigns, he's out. Not thinking about next 6N ... and not basing anything on a single press briefing after the SA game. 6 monthly review periods. They had reviews but by who? Sweeney isn't qualified to undertake a p...

I’m not on the Borthwick train either. Let's be honest, Borthwick has two things going for him: 1. He has a track-record of bringing through new players at Tigers 2. He knows how to coach a team to its strengths He's a world class lineout and assistant coach. What worries me is it's still early day...

Why, he has less than a year on his contract to go and there must be performance related clauses in there that can be triggered as well............you'd hope?

Maybe but Wasps have never been an East Anglia team and I don't think they ever considered it anyway. Going further back, I think Saracens made an error heading west from Southgate instead of east. Saracens players in the amateur days used to come from Essex and Hertfordshire. Ironically, Saracens ...

They added 20000 to capacity. We're getting more allocated, not less. The capacity increase was nearly 10 years ago! I look after international tickets at my club and have done for 5 years.
