Well done Northampton and well deserved through the season they have been the best team. Well done Pollock motm today

Blamire & Radwan both in the England XV to play a France XV later this afternoon hoping to get themselves in for the summer/autumn North v South Nations Championship, Martin in also although he's off to Sarries so he don't count anymore. Blamire has a good chance of making it & if not this then the 6N & WC squads, sadly i don't think Radwan will unless there are a lot of injuries as there are to many wingers. Games at 17:15 & being shown on Rugby Pass TV & will be free, I believe its also on England's Youtube channel Line-ups France XV: 1 Jefferson Poirot, 2 Maxime Lamothe, 3 Sipili Falatea; 4 Mickael Guillard (capt.), 5 Tom Staniforth; 6 Temo Matiu, 7 Esteban Capilla, 8 Marko Gazzotti; 9 Nolann Le Garrec, 10 Antoine Hastoy; 11 Gregoire Arfeuil, 12 Yoram Moefana, 13 Nicolas Depoortete, 14 Christian Ambadiang; 15 Theo Attissogbe. Replacements: 16 Barnabe Massa, 17 Reda Wardi, 18 Regis Montagne, 19 Boris Palu, 20 Killian Tixeront; 21 Baptiste Jauneau, 22 Axel Desperes, 23 Fabien Brau-Boirie.

Don't get me wrong & good luck to the kid although you can see Dowman has something more about him which Monga doesn't. I just think the timing might just go against him if they are willing to sell both those others this summer they will be getting younger versions of them that can slot in straight away which could then cause a problem for him for the next 5 or so years if they happen to take off. We can use Liverpool as an example of why it could be a problem for Monga if Arsenal go the same route. Liverpool have just signed 22yr old Victor Munoz & pushing to sign 19yr old Diomande (which combined will push close to €130m) these are starters & will be at Liverpool for the next 6+yrs I fear Arsenal are doing the usual here's a kid showing promise lets get him cheap & sell him on with our academy 'tax' added on. But again good luck to him & great if he makes it at Arsenal.

Harsh penalty that

Take the money and hopefully a sell on. As for his Arsenal future they are opening to selling both Trossard and Martinelli, they are not signing Monga to replace 1 of them that’s for sure. They are the current Premier Lge champions and will buy accordingly meaning, ready made players that will enable them to compete at all levels. They have had a taste of winning something and they will want more, Monga is to far off of being of any help to them & sadly, I think for him, if he goes he will be stuck in limbo with his age and their quest to stay top.

Harsh I thought as Modric no idea he’s there and goes for the ball player just jumps in…but I’ll take it

Exactly to worried about 'other' positions yet he's got him in to replace a RB & he's played once at RB this season & we are now just an injury away from making the full back positions the weakest positions. We are stacked with CBs it should just have been O'Reilly & Hall (better than Spence & Shaw) as LB, Reece & Trent AA RB from the start for me

I think you only need to look at the Scottish fans singing 'their' national anthem the other night to see that the team were stoked up & fed off that at the beginning of the game more than anything Clarke would have said in the dressing room. It feeds both ways as neither side can go a full 90mins providing the energy alone.

Can I introduce you please To a lump of cheddar cheese Knit one, pearl one Drop one, curl one Kick it nah nah nah Keith Allan 🤷‍♂️

Money for resident doctors though, that’s a 35% pay rise over the past 3yrs

Just as Southampton announce their retained list so I guess we can expect 1 or more of the following; Ross Stewart, Oriol Romeu, Will Smallbone, Alex McCarthy, Joe Aribo, Jamie Jones, Charlie Taylor as all will leave Southampton this summer.

Carreras not backing himself to do the simplest of drop goals cost Bath what a Rodney

"You create a style of play that supporters can identify with. High intensity, high energy, tackles, commitment, getting people off their seats. A fast winger, a quick striker, exciting football. "At times it’s felt too passive. Reconnecting with the fans is the most important thing. Once you get the atmosphere back in the stadium, you can build from there." But just this week he said appointing Russell Martin would be a “sensible option…”

He’s not long turned 21 if he keeps going as he has in the past 2yrs where he’s gone from England U20 World Rugby championship winner, Eng A, England Snr & British & Irish Lion he certainly has the potential to be a great

As expected Northampton into the final & fully deserved not only tonight but for what they have done during the season, cracking match mind.

Bailey should have gone to 10 when Kata come on

That’s it game over if yellow but it’s not a pen let alone a card thank you ref

That’s a pen jeez 🙄

Was going to say if they didn’t give the hit on Chessum they couldn’t give that on Hayes as high

Got the potential to be talked about as 1 of the greats by the time he finishes, like the Kiwi’s talk about the Barretts for instance.

Here we go, play 🏉

Danny Rohl off to Salzburg

Nah he will replace Rodri & be a regular starter

Is it really common place? I’d also say of the type of crime we are referring to the majority of white on white or black on black are known to each other personally & will happen behind closed doors with breakdown of relationships the main cause or via gang affiliation & whilst they do happen on the streets they are not random attacks (& whilst life is life if you live by the sword….. etc, hence why we the general public will look at 1 of those incidents differently to the shocking open, random & crazed attacks we are seeing in our streets & shopping centres. We then have to look at the %s in how often is this happening within what is a minority group. It’s like having 500 orange balls, 500 blue balls & 50 green balls you would expect to draw an orange or blue ball and just shy of 5% of picking a green ball yet it’s more than 5% of green balls being picked out (numbers used to make the/a point) & that is why they are causing more concern. It’s not “morally” wrong to be afraid of this and call it out.

What cos he’s a daft bastard as well 🤪 Certainly not for his footballing skills surely 🙅‍♂️
