Cynics, go **** yourselves. This was the Olympics that raised a middle finger to anyone that ever doubted London, anyone that ever doubted the UK, and anyone who ever doubted sport. For me it's been characterised by three things. One is obvious - London. My city is buzzing more than usual...

You're right that Quins depend on Care and Evans but see how much Saracens missed Brown and Burger... and how much better Leicester are with Youngs & Flood fit and on form... all English clubs depend on a few players, some more than you think!

interesting game there - nice in particular to see ashton and hartley back on form, and promising stuff from wade and joseph. whole midfield was poor today, but then it doesn't work well at saracens and it doesn't work well with england. there's no need for hodgson any more, farrell has shown...

doing a coaching course yesterday, which meant a ****load of sunburn and no tv so I missed the game.... but congrats Quins, they've definitely deserved it and done well to prove all the naysayers wrong this season (think I've been one of them). Biggest achievement for me is their improvement...

one of the few places where the British haven't stolen anything...

what makes northampton such contenders? are people stuck in last season?

Simples. Leinster are the best team in Europe. They're head-and-shoulders favourites. Next you have Clermont and potentially Toulouse who are capable of matching Leinster at times. Then you have a group of sides who should be there an there abouts: From the Rabo: Munster, Ulster, Edinburgh...

haha 11:06!!! got a tad confused cos i typed in X and he came in at no. 3, and was trying to think of a loosehead for a wee while... I'm sure the numbers are the other way round...

I'd like to see our strongest side available playing the Barbarians - it'll do a lot of good for continuity and confidence if they can get a win, plus the missing Tigers and Quins players will leave space for some new blood. That said, we're short on scrum halves, second rows and back rows, so...

Strettle once again demonstrated an incredible ability not to finish tries in big games. He did mighty well to stay in touch after the tap-tackle, but after that grounding the ball was simple and he ****ed it. Likewise against Wales in the 6N and I remember on tour to NZ in 2008. I've said this...

shame there's no ben barba for QL. cooky, you're right - the Queensland team has been ridiculous for years. Not bad losing a man like Lockyer and being able to shift in Cooper Cronk; as well as being able to leave someone as talented as Barba out of the squad entirely. NSW should lose all 3 on...

yeah struggling to see how farrell was discovered this season. my team: 1. Wood 2. Brits 3. Mujati 4. Manoa 5. Robson 6. Robshaw 7. Salvi 8. Easter 9. Care 10. Evans 11. Tuilagi 12. Barritt 13. Lowe 14. Wade 15. Brown

???

what an ugly kit. and why change it before the end of the season? this is getting ridiculous...

on the subject of Morgan, the sooner he comes to Gloucester the better. It's infuriating how much the celtic international players get to skive off league duty, and Morgan must keep plugging away and getting injured...

I'd hope 6. Robshaw, 7. Armitage 8. Haskell before that...

Our political system (if we forget about greed, equality & left & right for a second) will forever be flawed. We know the flaws of first past the post, but more to the point, merely having two potential winners representing the entire plethora of the nation's view says it all. The Labour voter...

no point in Dowson really - he's always been a great Premiership player who should have played more for England before 2012... but he's not there now. Wait to see on injuries from the next few weeks, but I think we should be able to send a strong squad down. Even with no Croft and Wood, a...

That is why I want society changed, so that the people at the top have got there through hard work, honesty and public service - not through selfishness and greed, which I don't think are qualities that are worth rewarding. I think we're about to pass go and collect our £200.. this is about as...

Is this your delusion of a meritocracy? It's bullshit and if you don't know it, you're blind. The society you talk of is Thatcher's 'no such thing'. It's the market. And in case you hadn't read any of my posts, I don't give a stuff about the market - our political system, our media, and our...
