    Should take about 5 minutes.

    [2019 Six Nations] Wales vs England (23/02/2019)

    No point having Manu on the pitch and kicking the ball away time after time, especially when Farrell doesn't kick well. On the odd occasions England got the ball wide it looked promising but then Wales managed to close the game down and make it scrappy, and England had no plan B. EJ needs to...

    Northampton Saints 2017 - 2018

    Eadie will get his chance but I still think there's a big drop off in quality compared to Picamoles. I just don't think we've replaced players like Manoa, Picamoles, Matfield, Pisi, Fotualii, Clark etc. with enough experience or quality. Harrison seems to be bearing the brunt of the ball...

    Northampton Saints 2017 - 2018

    Problems have all come from not having a quality 10. Can't expect to compete with the choices available. We've also been going backwards since Manoa left in my opinion. Picamoles papered over the cracks temporarily.

    European Champions Cup 2017/18: Pool 2 - Round 2

    Ref has been shocking and biased. Needs to be chopped. Allowed Clermont to get away with all sorts of stuff and denied Saints at every opportunity.

    New High Tackle Directive for the New Year

    Addressing the high tackle issue will take quite a while and, in my opinion will lead to further rule changes. I think the rule of holding a player up in the tackle which leads to an almost automatic penalty will have to go. Players are going into contact lower in order to get to ground...

    [2016 RBS Six Nations] Round 4: England vs. Wales (12/03/2016)

    Don't know about you but my eyes are near my nose.

    What changes with Eddie Jones

    I'd prefer the Captain to play in the backs and the only one who's really made the shirt his is Mike Brown.

    What changes with Eddie Jones

    He's certainly more of a free thinker than Lancaster which has to be a good thing. I expect him to go more offensive with the backs and only use the likes of Barritt when needed. I'd also like Farrell moved out and Shaun Edwards in but not at all sure Farrell can be shifted. In short, I'd love...

    Transfers 2015/16

    Had to come up with something special after losing Manoa. Matfield will do nicely.

    [2015 RWC] Warm Up Match: England vs Ireland (05/09/15)

    Not being a 7 hasn't hindered Robshaw.

    Martin Johnson's Successor

    The RFU should appoint Alain Rolland or Nigel Owens. They might be able to explain to the England players how to contest a ruck or a scrum without giving away a penalty. On a more serious note, if we want to compete on the world stage and not just in the Northern Hemisphere we have to sort out...
