More importantly AA, there are rumours that Edwards is to remain in the Welsh coaching set up; it’s been confirmed that he’s 100% not joining Wigan after the WC and is remaining in union.

Judgement Day, then?

Scabs to hammer Dregs.

Spreys will flatter to deceive and lose in the last 20 minutes.

Watson back with Bath at 15 tonight, could be good timing...

I'm praying that Cardiff get a last minute penalty to win the game, and Anscombe has to step up..

I feel sorry for the Bath fans who traveled to Sale last night for what was probably the worst game of the season. Awful by both sides; Priestland had a mare when he came on. BT definitely chose the wrong game to show on TV.

Falcons edge close to the drop after loosing to Saints.

It’s easier to mention when he doesn’t have a mare.

A marvellous win for the Dragons.
Pity they waited until the last game of the season to play properly.

Anscombe is playing annoyingly well!

Then again, Dan Evans on the counter is a joy.

Good game so far! Dregs v Scabs was, too.

It's been a long wait but thanks for that Glasgow Warriors. Mr Cockerill needs to change his tune a bit. Edinburgh have improved under his regime but they're still out.

Fantastic result for Worcester today who played some good rugby. Hougaard was an absolute pain in the bum defensively. I didn’t give them much hope really given how well Gloucester have played this season.

So how is Duncan "meatball" Weir doing? Getting enough form to be considered for Scotland again?

FatMattBastardo is off to NY after the world cup.

Just imagine how massive he's going to be on a NY diet!

I'm no huge Weir fan TJ but I think all season he's been going well. Wuss game was the only one I saw this weekend....his kicking from hand wasn't very good, few out on the full etc (very windy though) but ball in hand he was great.

His place kicking has been very good especially some very high pressure ones at the death of a few games to save the day.

I just watched the 2000 calcutta cup match ( off work sick). It was almost a different game., Scrums so much quicker and no collapses but rucks and mauls were just a mess and several key decisions were wrong which wouldn't happen now with TMO

Very much less organised off first phase ball - hardly any dummy runners and no loops or set piece moves.

Still enjoyed it tho

You might take the time to have a look and England Rugby’s Instagram feed.  Yesterday they posted an “ask Eddie” pic of Mr Jones.  The subsequent gazillions of questions, dominated on the subject of a recent RPA nominee that has been starring at 10, are almost as funny as the Amazon hair removal cream reviews.

It certainly cheered me up, and allude to the baying inclusion of Cips and Goode to the RWC team.

I bet they wished they hadn’t asked...

the baying inclusion of Cips and Goode to the RWC team

Goode is simply far too slow to play fullback in international rugby.

If you look at various tries conceded by Sarries over the years, there are many where he gets easily burnt off and many more where he doesn't even get anywhere near the ball carrier due to his glacial speed.

He's been a great club player, no doubt, and might have done a job at 10 or 12 for England but line him up anywhere he'd be exposed to a bit of pace and he'd be exploited every time.

Agree about Goode, with a bit more pace he’d be astonishing. He’s very good at club level but just not quite there as an international.

In other news, my lad met NotToby Faletua at school yesterday. When asked if he liked Bath or Wales he replied ‘no, I like Leicester and England and Johnny May!’ He’s 5. LOVE Him!

Robin McBride to coach Leinster forwards - they have a pretty serious coaching ticket now with Lancaster and Comptoponi, overseen by Leo Cullen

Brand H has announced his retirement today. He’s been a good servant and whilst not the most talented player, he always gave his all and was very good when we toured Australia in 2016. He’s managed a whopping four games for Saints this season.

Worcester remain inconsistent;after a great performance against Gloucester, they got pumped by Saints at the weekend. Wasps are still shit too.

Will be interesting to see how Sarries ar after the euro final next week and how it will impact on their last few games of the prem.

Very pleased to see Jeff Hassler signing for Seattle Seawolves in the US MLR. A player who deserves a good run of it!

Some good players going to that league at the moment.

Leinster v sarries live on Ch 4 ,
For out those that didn't know.
KO 5pm

Sarries hitting form at the right time, Leinster losing out a bit by having their p14 conference done by Christmas.
Need to raise their game, but it's still possible. Will more likely be brutal than pretty.
Biggest game of the season IMO
Sob's last game too

Or there's the 2021 lions tour to discuss if you're Welsh. 😉

Been a while since there's been a team I've disliked so much I'd support South Africa.

Sarries are some team! Can't see anyone beating them in the prem semi and final.

How frigging good is Liam Williams?!
