This is an internal English matter afaic. But the lack of remorse from Saracens, top to bottom, must be galling to Exeter who are the real victims of all this.
And Billy Vuniploa will have to renounce those Premiership medals if he ever wants to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Reading match reports, that was impressive from Munster. They're finally following Leinster's example and giving their young players a run of games. Maybe their hand has been forced by the IRFU, but the result is the same - they're doing something that is good for them & Irish rugby rather than jus...

Lowe’s 33rd try for Leinster. Any chance he could become our record try scorer? Probably not with his likely involvements with Ireland from this year on. Still a long way to go to catch Shaggy's 69 tries. Puts him level with Dr.Phil though. Ross Byrne closing in on 5th place for most points for Lei...

GO GO JLO!

great to see a crowd at a game

A little trip down memory lane. The day George Hook claimed Joe Schmidt had lost the dressing room Ten years on since their first Pro12 trip to Treviso, Garry Doyle revisits the harrowing defeat that left questions hanging over Leinster’s newly appointed Kiwi coach. THE POWER OF a pen can be felt ev...

I'd say Donald Trumps treatment costs about 10k per dose and requires hospitalisation and therefore not an option. When they know what exactly makes people react to cv19 we can move to strategic shelter etc. I will never forget watching my 36 yr old super healthy wife crying for breath. We will nev...

Eddie Van Halen, legendary guitarist, has died aged 65
Another one of the greats is gone.
Van Halen, what a group.
Jump, Hot for Teacher, Panama, Summer Nights. Brilliant!

Good god, ridiculous from POM there. The elbow drop? Ridiculous. He could be gone now.... Also the Scarlets player doing the knee slide just as Farrell scores, dunno why that's tolerated. This. Should have been at least yellow for that. I actually thought that was what they (TMO/ref/nigel) were loo...

Do you think he's going for the sympathy vote?

JCBs kicks to touch lately have been really good. Gets great yardage.
Dragons are a much improved side but their lineout was shocking.

Joe Biden and Wife tested negative.

Dundalk into the Europa League group stages.

I might be in the minority here, but I think this is ridiculous. The idea that you make a 19,000km round trip [Durban to Dublin, return] to fulfil a regular season fixture is absolutely crazy. It is mind-boggling. On an environmental basis alone it is irresponsible. To my eyes, this is a Celtic Tig...

Will be interesting to see how all this is worked out....... 100% think adding quality teams to the league is a good thing... .but a 12,500 mile round-trip to play a game of rugby.... Personally think its nuts . In case you haven't noticed, the Pro14 has been doing this for a number of years. Super...
