It strikes me that all talk of Slade holding down a spot at 13 should now be superfluous. No doubting that he had a decent game in his international outing there, and plays extremely well for Exeter there, but it seems like he'd be wasted there. Not only do we have 2 (potential) top-drawer...

Agreed. Was a bit of a bell with a monumental ego, but what a talent. Was always a popular choice to hate, and had the kind of personality and faux-celeb lifestyle that made it easy enough to do so. Tackling might not have been there in his formative years, but what an attacking threat. Would...

Agreed. Bodies are breaking down. Added to the intensity of the training and I'd argue that a break is needed. To use the NFL as a comparison, there's usually a break of several months between the end of the season and the beginning of the next. Granted, its a very different sport and...

Done. Good luck with the studies.

I'm not sure I'd call him entirely green, as he's played some pretty significant U20s games over the years, but I see your point. Would be a fair move to target him, especially if he's in an unfamiliar space. I'd certainly agree that he'd offer a better long-term bench option than Goode, and by...

I'm surprised to hear this, given that I'm not sure he's ever lined upn at 12 for Wasps. Always figured he'd end up the long-term solution at either 13 or 15. That said, if he wants to find a way to develop a fine young pair of English 13s into a potent solution to the centre problem then I'm...

A bit flippant, given that the reporting isn't too way off the mark. Quantifying the health risk to those participating won't be an easy task - the timing of the 2nd report demonstrates that - but I'm not so sure I'd be entirely happy about exposing myself to carcinogens on such a regular basis...

Reassuring that their collective manipulation hasn't gone unnoticed.

Join their facebook group. Thats the only way that we keep our 5 teams in order, and I imagine they've got an active setup on there!

Failing that, you find yourself a different club to get involved with! Wandsworth isn't far from Ealing...

Strength of the rand probably helped on that front. While I'm sure EJ was being paid in a more stable currency, a wedge of rand would go a long way. The Stormers aren't exactly rolling in cash. From Brizzles perspective, I can see why they're digging their heels in. They've now got to deal with...

Considering our slim pickings on the wings, Id prefer he stuck there. Offers something different in terms of getting stuck in and being a bit wriggly when he's got the ball in hand. In terms of Farrell at ten, won't that also be dictated a little by the gameplan that Jones wants to put in...

Seeing as I'm in the minority here, I'll put my Daly position down to one tainted with some bias! Either that or I need to watch more of Nowell. And stop believing everything that I read. Not to say I wouldn't mind both of them being on the same team. The likes of Nowell, Watson, Ford, Daly...

How dare you. Infernos was where Barkley used to do push-up competitions and scoop up a handful of not-so-bright Claphamites by about 10. I've gone up in the world now, and its The Grand these days. Early morning drinking with aussies makes it easier on the professional rugby contingent. Fish...

How does he compare to other lighter 12s? Can't say that I've ever really noticed the likes of Gits laying the wood on a defender. Is it more a case of Daly defending, or Daly defending with Ford on the inside and Joseph on the outside? Seems solid, but is that enough? Probably not. Either way...

Having bumped into - by which I mean lurked, stalked and timed the accidental 'bump' perfectly - Daly a couple of times at a Clapham nightclub of moderate repute, I'd put him at 90 and change, but not much more. In decent shape. Wouldn't let me grasp his thighs, so I can't comment on their...

Andre, sympathies to you. Can't imagine they help at all, but still worth saying. In terms of players in my neck of the woods, none that I know of. That said, I am a Londoner and I'm not sure that any pitches I've every played on have used any form of pesticide or insecticide. If you want to...

Is that the intention? Or do Wasps see Daly moving to 15? Would be a shame to stick him at fullback. Could definitely be a challenger for JJ's 13 jersey.

Its probably another conspiracy to tarnish the reputation of the ABs. You know, just like Mils was. But okay, I'll bite...who would you have at 8?

When significantly more than half of those numbers are u13s, I'll reserve judgement as to how much those inflated numbers mean. Plus, take a look at the original list of player numbers above; while the US figure above is close to the senior male figures, the 2million that is attributed to...
