    England 2023/24

    Which tight heads are currently be in position to be offered one. And I don't think there's a clear second choice scrum half yet so who would you give it to?

    Premiership 24/25 - Round 6

    Would doing all the champions cup in 1 block give teams (and fans) enough time to book travel? Specifically for the knock out rounds

    England 2023/24

    It will be interesting to see if the plan for Mitchell's recovery is now changed as Borthwick now gets the final say

    PRC2024

    I do like the idea of regional pools. It not only adds rivalry and increased away attendance but also helps cost, especially for championship clubs How would you add the 2 other teams and keep it to the 6 weekends (I do think it's unfair they're not included?) Could there be another 2 teams...

    It's a business decision to help the marketing and sales of merchandise, which does all make sense to me. And I think we have to trust Mark Durbon to an extent and is a business sense he's made some great decisions. Looking forward to seeing the outcome

    Does anyone know if there's any highlight on TV later somewhere?

    "22-year-old Irish-qualified Morgan is understood to be making the move from New Zealand side Hurricanes to Belfast this summer" Looks like it https://www.irishnews.com/sport/rugby/ulster-rugby-reach-agreement-to-sign-former-u20-all-black-out-half-aidan-morgan-3DFPYYBFGREFJP32IZVDZMWLRQ/

    So Cruse going as well. That's 4 front rowers, quite a change there next season https://www.northamptonsaints.co.uk/news/tom-cruse-calls-time-on-professional-rugby-career Is Craig Wright (Eng U20) ready to step up as 4th choice?

    Northampton Saints Thread

    If Patton is ready to be the 4th LH that would be great, then I agree with an experienced head. If Savala is happy to be understudy I'd happily keep him longer (only 23 so has time to grow but also might want more game time) Hopefully we can uncover another gem from a lower league (like we did...

    Am I missing anyone Lockett stepping up to replace Moon Pollock to replace Ludlam (is this too early and we should get someone in short term?) Kemeny to replace Lawes 1. Iogen, Haffar 2.Langdon, S Matavesi, Cruise, Smith 3. (Hill) Davison, Millar-Mills, Nonleh, Prowse 4/5. Mayanavanua, Coles...

    I would like it if Pearson develops into an 8. From what I've seen his carrying is pretty good. I do like a more rangey (lawes-esque) 6 Also missed Prowse at tighthead. That two 31 year old THs and two 23. As long as the youngsters are seen as adequate cover I think that's enough With 2 pound...

    Just looked on all.rugby (pinch of salt taken) Pollock is listed as 100kg Sam Cane 108kg Ardie Savea 103kg Not sure on their accuracy but probably not loads off, and at only 19 it shouldn't take too much extra to gain that weight. The big question is with him and Pearson both being considered...

    What happened to Nonleh at TH? He's only 24 but not seen him yet Also there's Pollock at 7 who will probably start to need some more game time next season That give 2 for every back 5 position (with academy to fill the rest) We will definitely need another LH

    [2024 Six Nations] Italy vs England - 03/02/24

    I'm sure I read/heard that Saints are kicking more than anyone in the Prem this year. Being a bit more pragmatic, but then having the ability to be clinical when its on has been that biggest difference to Saints this year (along with the improvement in defence) But then that is probably all...

    England 2023/24

    I do like it when there is a solid reliable centre to free up others to play a bit more. O'Driscoll had D'arcy. Conrad Smith for NZ etc

    Similar to Borthwick. Had only been in the role a few weeks so probably didn't want the added distraction If they do a second season it will be interesting to see if more teams open up.

    It will depend on who gave them the most access. In the first season of Drive to Survive, Red Bull didn't want to engage, so they weren't really covered in it. But they then opened up in subsequent seasons. I guess Scotland gave the most access

    Amazon dipping its toes into NH rugby

    They seem to release them a couple of weeks before the next year's tournament (they do the same with drive to survive/ F1 and I think break point/and the linked open) I guess there hope is, you watch the documentary, and then are inspired to watch this year's tournament
