Henson had so much talent for rugby and wasted it. Some people criticised Cardiff for sacking him and said he would have plenty of clubs wanting to sign him. I think they did the right thing. He needs to sort his life out and get some help with his drinking problem before he thinks about what to...

Not sure if anyone read the judgement in Hartleys ban or the articles that emerged afterwards. But his ban was reduced because Rowntree told the panel that he was a potential future England captain and that he had changed his ways. This convinced the panel that he was a reformed character and...

Yes paddy I think he's looked sharp in the two games. But having D'Arcy alongside him means he's still trying to do too much. I'd love to see a Sexton, McFadden, BOD 10-12-13 with Maddigan, Sexton, McFadden backing up when BOD needs to be rested. Having Roberts beside him in the last Lions...

It's hard to say if the tour is really the reason for loss of form by some players. If it was you would expect the same to have happened to the Wales players who were also having to play for their clubs in Pro12 and HEC. The Welsh players had a dip in form post world cup for their clubs but...

Not a S15 player but Brian O'Driscoill player soccer and Gaelic Football as a kid before taking up Rugby.

Also looks like Sarries are going to lose Farrell to the England set up.

Well done to Sarries for attracting such a large crowd. When they tried the same thing a few years ago, also against quins, they only got 47,000 people. Impressive growth by them over the last few years. I'm sure the fact both teams are in the hunt for the premiership play offs boosted the...

Really looking forward to the resumption of the HEC. Expecting both Munster and Leinster to raise their game after what they served up at the weekend. Gave a cheer when D'Arcy was replaced by McFadden only to be disappointed when it turned out to be just for blood. Was hoping to see a BOD...

32 weeks is a funny was to spell "life ban" which is what he should have gotten.

Lancaster has been given the England job on a permanent basis. He's to be given a 4 year contract. I hope the RFU treat him well as he's already made some good changes to the England set up.

Gatland will be given next years 6Ns off if he's take the Lions role. Would expect him to still be with Wales for their summer tour and almost certainly the Autumn tests too.

Hartley got 8 weeks for biting Ferris. IRB should just do away with minimum sanctions as no one gets even the minimum ban anymore.

Healy has actually been one of the big supporters in trying to grow 7s in Ireland in colleges and the push to get a permanent national 7s team over the last few years.

We do compete at 7s but not regularly on the circuit as there's currently no permanent 7s national team. Players like Keith Earls, Cian Healy & Tomás O'Leary have represented us at 7s before becoming regulars for the national 15 squad. The likes of Felix Jones & Darren Cave who will be regulars...

Interesting concept would really like to see a true NH v SH game played regularly. But looking at the teams that are being picked it looks more like a S15 v HEC affair.

No surprise, Gatland has been offered the Lions coaching role.

Don't watch much 7s but I flicked on to see the end of England and SA then a very entertaining final between Fiji and NZ. For non rugby fans the 7s is like a gateway drug to the 15 man game and will become more so when it makes it's Olympic debut.

I think it's too early to be speculating on how good BOD is going to be now he's back. The main reason he kept getting injured was due to his shoulder that he was carrying for a couple of years. Anyone related to Irish rugby will tell you he was playing with one shoulder the last few years...

Saints have suspended Clark in advance of his hearing regarding his actions in the LV Cup final. Hope they throw the book at him. No excuse for what he did.

Looking forward to seeing how Thorn gets on also for Leinster. Some of their players went off the boil during the 6Ns so they need to redicover some form for the resumption of the HEC.
