Re: Ireland v Wales Sat 2.15
Muddy? I don’t think international pitches do that anymore. Any alternatives to the wingers? Stocktake is a juggler so a wet ball is asking for trouble, and we must have someone else to defend the other wing - every team is trying to go around us these days

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
There look like related party transactions that should have been disclosed as connected (due to the people involved). However, they were probably off book and contained in other companies so this is where hmrc will be interested. No mention of overseas transactions (e.g in South Africa) so lots more...

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
I agree that this looks like an attempt to stop further investigation. Wonder what else Wray was up to outside of rugby that might be unearthed by a full Hmrc audit... Political will might play a part here.

Re: Treviso v Leinster - Sat 18/1; 1pm your time
Very disappointed in the discipline today. Ryan with two incredibly stupid Penalties, Porter continues when referee is shouting at him to leave the ball, too many penalties when they weren’t justified. Will admit referee was awful, I saw two occasions where their 7, actually dived over a ruck to st...

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
Firing people is expensive as you've to pay out on the remaining contracts. however, invoking the relegation clauses costs nothing. Do you think they care about being relegated if they can bounce straight back up?

Future is only with the premiership if we agree that 15 man rugby will not grow outside of where it is now globally. It just feels like the last chance saloon for the sport at a professional level

There's that 27% again - any idea why? All I could find was that Special Resolutions of a company need 75% of the shareholders - so some power being held by them. Anything else?

Re: HEC R1 Leinster v Treviso Sat 3.15 BT Sports
If the ARs hadnt made their contributions to the decision making in this match, the Referee would have missed everything... he was really poor , and the delay with even the most obvious decisions were proof that he was getting a call from the sidelines I prefer this. The ref constantly went to the ...

Re: Champions Cup 2020
That's interesting if they are not in breach for 2019/20 YET, just because not much of the season has elapsed. Will Saracens have to look at offloading players later this season? Do you think they've had a quiet word with some of the players who are starting to look around at other clubs? Perhaps th...

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
Interesting that they were not stripped of titles or finishing spots in prior seasons, as their qualification for Europe would then have been questioned and opened another can of worms.
