Premiership 2024/2025 - The Final

Out of interest where do central contracts money come into this, money paid by country unions, does that have to be taken into account in salary caps or is that exempted?

As far as I'm aware they're separate - it's replacing match fees (for the centrally contracted players) and match fees have never counted before

It's not being oaidrby the club or an agent of the club, so it ought to be exempt.
Unless the reg.s have been re-written explicitly to count it.

Might actually listen to this, could be a salty one

A lesson to all refs - be wary of retiring players with growing Youtube channels who can say what they want post retirement.

I've had to see this, so I'm taking it out on you lot!

On the plus side, maybe I DO have the body of a professional athlete after all

Some really good pitch level footage here. At least Dickson was able to not arse up the camera settings.

I hope some of this year's retirees decide to become better pundits than the likes of Monye, Dallaglio et al. We deserve better.

I feel Care has been decent in what I've seen so far. I'd quite like to see him on a Quins fixture to see if he's as horribly biased as Monye (and doesn't jump out of his chair screaming when someone makes a break)

Seeing all the pictures of the parade, in and out of the stadium - it looks like Bath got more people attending than Trump did for his military birthday parade!

Good on him.

Although when he was one of English rugby's great hopes I suspect he'd have been dreaming of more than 19 minutes off the bench in his club's biggest day for decades.

Stick Barbery in SA for a few months over the summer and watch him build that perfect no.8 physique.
