    Six Nations 2016

    Hartley confirmed as Captain for England. Skeptical, but hey I'll reserve judgement until England have at least played. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/35399734

    Northern Hemisphere Rugby Season 15/16

    Leicester vs Stade must be the first time two teams were in the same pool and then got each other in the QFs surely.... I can't really remember it happeneing before. Racing have easily been the team to beat this season. Wasps probably the next best team, though they had a really tough pool so...

    Who needs a Tight Head Prop?

    You would still look for an English or Irish club first surely? Again more money and a better chance for trophies if you go to the right ones.

    Who needs a Tight Head Prop?

    He's signed for Cardiff Blues. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/35130118 Clearly Clermont didn't chase him too hard as he would have got a lot more money with them!

    The Fallout from RWC 2015

    Considering Eddie Jones himself hasn't commented on it I doubt it is true. Probably some journalists saw Eddie and Hartley talking when he visited Saints and are getting carried away. For one thing he is currently crocked and isn't even playing, and two alot of people would rate either...

    Northern Hemisphere Rugby Season 15/16

    He lost the ball in contact a few more times than would be ideal for an international 6... but I can't remember him being particularly poor. Hmmm might have to watch it again to keep an eye on him.

    The Fallout from RWC 2015

    Good start by Eddie there... Rumour mill suggests Gustard (Saracens) for defence, Borthwick for the pack (Bristol) and King (Northampton) for the backs are all being lined up. I might be a bit skeptical of King given how the Northampton backs play but lets see how it all goes. Edit...

    Northern Hemisphere Rugby Season 15/16

    As a Bath fan I feel we mugged Wasps off a little bit this weekend. They were in control of the game and we got a few break away tries in the first half to get in front. Pretty decent game though. As for Irish Rugby, I have only seen the Ulster game but they did seem to actually attempt to...

    Northern Hemisphere Rugby Season 15/16

    Tbh I don't think many NH fans could stomach a Saracens vs saints game.... Would be unbelievable dull due to them playing negative rugby. Try a bath, harlequins or Exeter games. Much more expansive usually.

    RWC 2015 Final - Australia v New Zealand, Twickenham, Sunday 1 November, 3:00 AEDT

    Good handling for the try. Shame Nige has missed a few things.

    RWC 2015 Semi Final 1 - NZ vs RSA Twickenham

    These quotas seem to be a misguided and poorly executed attempt at positive discrimination to me. Still ridiculous really. I heard a rumour somewhere that Habana doesn't count towards the quota as he is the wrong type of black. Not entirely sure where I heard that though so please discount if I...

    RWC 2015 Final - Australia v New Zealand, Twickenham, Sunday 1 November, 3:00 AEDT

    How have Pocock's black eyes gone already? he looked like he had gone a few rounds in the boxing ring at the end of the Argentine game! Now assuming that is an old picture...

    Five Big Predictions 2015-2020

    1. Argentina will win one Rugby Championship. Probably 2018/2019/2020. 2. Guy Noves will work some form of miracle and France won't be shit coming into the next RWC. 3. Lancaster will be sacked after the 2016 6N's, barring a win. 4. Bath will win the Premiership over here in England at...

    RWC 2015 Final - Australia v New Zealand, Twickenham, Sunday 1 November, 3:00 AEDT

    Tough one to call... I'd say the ABs will be the more popular choice though. They're just good fun to watch when on song.

    RWC 2015 Semi Final 2 - Australia v Argentina Twickenham, Monday 19 October, 2:45 AEDT

    But they weren't exactly hard to finish off for any half competent winger. I'm not saying AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) isn't top class but Pocock was more important today. Any of your wingers would have finished them surely?
