Bristol?
Bath?

I could definitely believe that they're both under the cap. Bath haven't been prolific since they got their slap on the wrist, and Bris only have a couple of big names (and Madigan's lucky if he's getting minimum wage)

If I recall correctly, Saracens don't deal with agents right? Only directly to the player? Lot easier to hide all of this if that's the case. That's because agents take a percentage of the fee paid to the player, so if the player is getting 'paid' peanuts and getting a massive 'investment' instead ...

Well some chickens came gome to roost - Youngs oscilated to being shit again, Daly failed at FB, Billy is out of form, we didnt get away with Makos average scrummaging and Cole was an empty shirt. The scrum was a disaster and took us out of the game. Avoiding the set piece ment we never really got ...

Such a shit way to lose a match. It's easy to forget sometimes that WC finals are usually won by whoever makes the fewest mistakes.

Game over. Daly at fullback loses the world cup, as we'd all predicted

Double

That's it, get in their faces.

Wow wow wow, f**king pasted

Marler gets SA walking backwards, that's encouraging even if Garces does t see it yet.

Double

Kruis for Lawes could make a huge difference.

World rugby should present the trophy to Garces at the end of the game. That stupid prick kills the flow and the game is all about his whistle Kills the flow? He gave England two full minutes of a penalty advantage from the 31st to the 33rd minute And didn't police the ruck through the whole advant...

He corrected himself after and said two.

He would've called it back of there weren't more penalties at every single ruck of the advantage.

I counted five different cynical penalties there.

Youngs' shit has finally caught up with us.

They could've done and the ABs still wouldn't have scored

Missed that, who went off with a shoulder?

Mbanabi was flash out there, shouldn't come back.

Ben f**king youngs

Billy's had a nervy start.

All in England's half so far, but taking SA a long time to convert it into points.

No good sleep to be had the night before a battle like this.

Tongues of fire, on Idris flaring...

Do you have many players to come back from the World Cup / injury? And does Mallinder have a future in that team? We're down 12 between world cup and injury, and 2 more Kiwus who.will be available over the next couple of weeks. However, one of those we're down is Hartley and at thus point I don't t...

Double

Pleased with that from Saints. We still look a bit naive and trigger-happy sometimes, and I'm not sure our exit strategy is up to much (I think that's the third time I've seen a cross-field kick in our 22 in three games) but it looks like it should be an enjoyable season to watch. 102 points scored ...

He was so good last season. I was very annoyed to find out he was a Scot.

Should've found a way to poach him. Not like the Scots don't owe us a player or seven

Hutchinson is so good, no idea why Scotland didn't take him to Japan. Wasn't like he could've made them any worse.

JP trying to even that up? Quins player rolled that back with his hand.

I knows everyone has bad tournaments, but AWJ has gone from being anonymous to being visible for all the wrong reasons.

Very pleased with Eddie’s team selection. Clearly he is looking to keep the South African fatties trundling around the park, chasing the ball, until they are exhausted. Will be a fascinating final! Your pack is heavier than ours. Wales was 17kg heavier than ours. Yes but that is good English muscle...

Yep, calf muscle injury. Could be a worry.

I read it in the guardian

After having been quietly confident in the leadup to the ABs last week, I now have the worst feeling about this game. If I was going to coach a side to beat England right now, I'd get them to play exactly the kicking and power game that the boks do. We saw how similar it is to the Welsh game, which ...

Seeming like Jones' decisions to pick 2 THs and 2 scrum halves may both have been as unwise as the seemed.

It's been a while since I've seen stats on it but the try scoring areas aren't as biased as the wingers in possession stat, which I always found interesting Read a very interesting coaching piece from Sherylle Calder saying generally, people's defending eyesight is stronger on right hand side, due ...
