2/3 of the front bench. Hmmm let's see who this bullshitter puts as an antisemite. Perhaps Starmer with his Jewish wife and children?

They won't ignore the antisemite leftist Corbynites who still occupy 2/3 of the Labour front benches even though they pretend they aren't with a wink and a smirk. Just when it looks as though Millionaire Sir Kier has finally taken control, someone opens the asylum doors and the nutters are released...

Always trust Labour to beat themselves. Yeah man the British public is going to ignore the last decade of tory failure because a few Labour front benchers called for a ceasefire. :thumbup: I see we are in the world of right wing copium now They won't ignore the antisemite leftist Corbynites who sti...

I'd like to see Gus Warr play for England at some point. There's something naturally irritating about him - maybe just the fact he's a 9 - so I reckon he's got the potential to piss our Celtic brethren off more than Sexton, Bigger, Farrell and The Tory Party combined. Bet Scotland come in for him b...

Worth noting at 25yrs old Painter has a fair bit of milage left if he's playing well and being coached better. I'm not sold on Matt Ferguson at Saints . Comes over as a bit of a knob I'm sure Saints could do a lot better He will prob move to Saracen’s then i'd swap him for Ian Peel in a heartbeat

SaintK

I would say absolutely we do have but haven't identified him possibly by looking at the wrong attributes Frans Malherbe would probably be in the Championship as a scrummaging prop. Painter is/was an enormous prop at Northampton. Still young but he just never kicked on. Always looked fat and lazy at...

Ludlam is an absolutely great fit for T14 rugby. Great engine, willingness to carry the ball tight and loose. A loss to Saints. Sinckler is a mystery. Ludlam is still only 27. I reckon Saints will do their utmost to keep him for another couple of years. Guess it depends if he's in the frame for one...

Reports that Ludlam and Sinckler both set to sign for Toulon, spotted at their training ground Am i being wooshed? I can't see the punchline? Ludlum is massively underrated, he would go well but Sinkler?? Ludlam is an absolutely great fit for T14 rugby. Great engine, willingness to carry the ball t...

Reported in The Rugby Paper on Sunday.
Both out of contract at the end of the season.

SaintK

I'm alright. Just pissed that Barnesy chose Sunday to have a poor game - and that he let the TMO walk all over him. It's not the end of the world but I'm not going with the "best in the world" bullshit any more. Still happy to give full credit to the Saffers - they did it with an almost impossible ...

SaintK

Please god No Michael Cheika. Apart from Dan McKellar a nd Larkham already mentioned Les Kiss is another potential option. He had London Irish playing great rugby. But t he's signed with Reds next year and realistically he needs at least one season in Super Rugby as a head coach before he can be co...

SaintK

I personally think he's a mediocre coach. He's got mixed results and he's probably not a great people manager. Quite a few players left Reds because of him. Yeah perhaps I over-estimate his coaching. I was a HUGE fan of his when he was a Crusader/All Black. RA's problem is that there isn't an obvio...

SaintK

Those of you still active in the community game, how are you finding the high tackle directive working out? I've seen a few matches this season and there have been a lot of penalties - probably inevitable in the early stages. It's difficult from the side of the pitch to make out what's high and wha...

I very much doubt it. ANTHONY Watson is recovering from injury at home in England.

Lawes leaving means a rethink of the entire back row if we're to be competitive at the top flight. His height and heft will be missed. Simply swapping him for Underhill, good player though he is, is not the answer. Marchant's gone now. George Martin plays most of his rugby in the back row. Ted Hill...

This thread is mainly filled with non-English or non-rugby posters stating how shit English players and teams are, so don't expect much.

Borthwick made some proper howlers in selection but hes now bought enough credit to make changes. Still dont think hes the man to utilise the talent available but is what it is.

Clubs that aren’t ‘owned’ by individuals seem to work this stuff out - why can’t you understand that ‘owners’ are not essential or even beneficial? Yes, there are clubs who work this stuff out but I don't think England are likely to pick their next RWC squad from clubs like Old Albanians and the Ki...

I've always found the opposite with suburban living - in many ways it's the worst of both worlds. You pay a premium for anywhere with a manageable commute, and you're still living somewhere without the great things that the city has AND without the convenience of city living. This is why we've alwa...

It does? But it doesn't own the players, or the clubs. The Irish model is for a tiny country where the union itself can be sponsored by two or three guys with big money. Yes, definitely on a different scale but sadly the current English model is not working even with all the advantages of a large p...

Sorry to intervene, but Post RWC, I think you have 3 coach options I would think are good 1. Farrell, but I doubt he will leave Ireland yet 2. Lancaster, a genius with Leinster 3.
