Babbling 'brook

It really is - I'd say, based it must be said on supposition and lot of adding 2+2, that Saracens are wildly over the Salary Cap, far more than the 2million that is being posited. If they were 'only' the 2 mill that everyone reckons, then they wouldn't have a problem with an audit - but the situati...

Have been thinking a little how much Saracens have compromised the tournaments they are playing in this season. They chose to field weakened teams in their away games against Racing [L], Munster [L+BP] and Ospreys [W] in order to concentrate on their league campaign. Their Premiership season commen...

Printer at home bust. Does anyone with previous knowledge know if I can get in to Franklin's Gardens with the match tickets on my smartphone?

Saracens really ditching their defence of the HCC leaving out that 5 for a big away game. They were right back in the mix for the group with the draw between R92 and Muster two weeks ago. But whilst they have some strenghth in depth in some positions its hard to see them knocking Munster back with t...

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 t...

But did he catch a ball ahead of Beauden Barrett last November???

No need. Brown went off injured.....

Not sure if that deserves a 'whhooosshh' or not.

Terrible article. Hysterical and will put parents off allowing their kids to play rugby - get rid of the breakdown and it's just rugby league. Rugby is a game with inherent risks and while there has been laudable progress on player safety (e.g concussions, tip tackles, high tackles, blatant thugger...

Interestng Article in today's IT by Owen Doyle regarding the protection of players. In almost all instances he feels that enforcing the existing laws rather than introducing new ones will make a big difference to safety of the game. He does suggest some tweaks but they are relatively small. Maybe a ...

Stockdale playing 15 again. I wonder is it to late to try him at the Irish 15 shirt before the RWC? He could be our version of Folau at the back. If not I'd love to see it next year. With him at 15 and Earls and Lowe on either wing that's an exciting back three. I'd say it's more about covering Kea...

Sorted - phew!

Its all making the build up more nerve-wracking than it would be anyway but fingers crossed.

Or 1-6 for that matter....

So 1-4 decided on league results not the final placings after the play-offs?
