The magnanimity of the TV team is exemplary.
Did anyone see the One Show last night? They wanted everyone to send in their videos of their full time celebrations.
I’m not sure if they broadcast in South Africa though.
Farrell moaning about the ref post match, moaned through the game to the ref and in general with all of Eddie's tedious 'mind games' which amounts to him just being an Erse to his opposite number, they just come over as dislikeable.

Jeez the authorities have not half hit Saracens hard for an alleged breach of the salary cap regulations. They've hit them with a 35 point deduction and a £5.36 million fine. No messing there.!
:rules:
They give their players a hand in setting up a business/career for after rugby and are adamant that this isn’t included in the salary cap. I think they also have houses that they give the players at a massively reduced rental and don’t include that as a benefit for the salary cap.
Makes sense how they can “afford” to fit half the England team plus the best of Wales, Scotland and overseas players into the salary cap though.
Could they be stripped off their Premiership & Champions Cup titles?
should be great crowds for the autumn tests next november
6TH Nov= Argentina
13th Nov= Japan
20th Nov= New Zealand
three very physical games

Bordeaux scraping a close 73-3 away to Agen
I've got a couple of tickets for the Heineken Cup Warriors v Exeter clash in January. The tickets are hard to come by, even at the price of £32 each. Really looking forward to it all the same.
Got someone's season ticket for the Glasgow v La Rochelle game on Saturday. First time this season and may stay up for drinks so should be good, despite their recent performances.
this has been a great game Edinburgh 24 Glasgow 19 ...73 mins played with Glasgow having just the 14 after jonny gray carded trying to bring down the Edinburgh maul, penalty try Edinburgh
try Edinburgh Darcy Graham, 2 mins remaining 29-19, not heard the attendance but it looks very healthy indeed
attendance 27,000+ new record for this fixture
what an astonishing comeback in the rugby league, Huddersfield beating leeds rhinos 26-6 with just over 10 mins remaining, leeds equalised with just seconds left of the 80, then winning it in the golden point, brilliant win
Go Leeds
What are folks thoughts on the replacement of the Autumn Internationals with this new 'competition'?
Personally, I wish they'd left well enough alone and just scrapped them/rescheduled them til next year. We'll wrap up the Six Nations in October, then go into a small group competition with France, Italy and Japan - before cross-pool games (England, Wales, Ireland and Fiji) take place - we then play the Six Nations again in February against the same teams.
Given next year is a Lions tour, I'm surprised they're pressing ahead with 2 competitions in such quick succession.
I think most of the national unions needs the money (not that that is necessarily a great reason). Even if its limited/no fans in stadiums, they'll fulfil tv contracts so not need to pay anything back/lose tv income, and the extra comp before the 6 nations will help recoup some money that would usually come from summer tours etc.
All imo of course
