As a League fan, pretty pissed off about it to be honest. I think he'd have been at another club other than St Helens, he'd be a marquee player and get more dollar. It probably kills Wales last hope at being competitive internationally at League. 

 

 

 

It was always inevitable, he was raised on Union, was an Ospreys youth product and - at the end of the day - when you're that good at rugby and you're Welsh, you're going to cross codes eventually. It's been on the cards ever since he made his debut at Saints.

JvP has been outstanding for England so far.

Incredible series win for Ireland in New Zealand .

 

Excellent first half and withstood a Kiwis fight back in the 2nd.

 

Can all 4 Northern hemisphere sides win their series .

Incoming - thousands of memes about Ireland peaking a year too soon again.

We've got no chance tbh. Missed our chance in the first game really.

When I was younger I'm sure you used to hear about how the All Blacks hadn't lost for 30 years etc, but it feels like they get beat pretty regularly now.

I think Ireland have beaten NZ 5 out of the last 8 times they've met, so not as big a shock as once was. France also wiped the floor with them. Kudos to Ireland, not many teams can boast beating NZ in NZ for a series win.

They have a mad stat at Eden Park i think, haven’t lost there since the mid 90s or something like that. Should just play all their games there for me.

Good win for England.

 

Tough first half but got into 2nd and held out well.

Might I suggest the game momentum changed when we took care off and brought JVP on ………..

Been seeing on Twitter that Exeter ae charging ~£70 for a ticket for their game vs Tigers for the Tigers area around the corner. Really is starting to jump up in price now, didn't pay anywhere near that for the play-off semi or final.

Looking through it seems like there’s pretty steep gaps between clubs. Harlequins, Bath, Exeter and Northampton charge loads whereas Newcastle, Sale, Tigers and Gloucester & others actually are affordable within reason. The sport is just not accessible for the working person and is all about money.

Do you even get charged that much at most Premier league clubs ? !

Reading that G Ford is out for the coming season after undergoing Ruptured Achilles surgery from the final injury, gutted for him & hope he comes back fit & well but pleased it weakens Sale.
