I wonder if England are also upset given that the Ireland team now has an extended period between their last game and the game against England on 15th. England, however do look like the best team in the competiton and maybe don't care.

and Adam Korczyk

Fergus Lee Warner heading back to Australia. Just signed a short term extension with Bath through to November but then heading back down under.

The explanation on the World Rugby website is almost apologetic with 2 weeks seeming to be the lowest they could go. Mitigation seemed sensible - on field provocation and no injury caused by his action. Really begs the question as to why Jonny Hill wasn't cited if the on field provocation was...

3 Paisami for defence 2 Valetini 1 Leota

Generally, very disappointing and agree that it was our worst performance of the year. I'm really not sure about James O'Connor at 10, he really made some bad reads and didn't do much else. Someone has to tell Len Ikitau to hold on to the bloody ball!!. I thought Rob Valetini and Rob Leota did...

What ever happened to Cameron Skelton? I remember that Chieka had some plan to bring him back to the Warathas when he was HC? it all seemed to fizzle out, may be like Cameron Skelton?

Have a read of Rob Baxter (Exeter Chief DOR) comments on the suspension of Dave Ewers and Skinner in the English press. Both BBC and The Guardian have it reported. Ewers and Skinner both contested their charges like Swinton and got short changed. Baxter makes a lot of good points about too...

I’ll have another go at upsetting Upthereds - Blake Enever and Harry Potter have signed for Leicester Tigers.

Thanks. I missed that back in March. Strange it taken until now for both Saracens and La Rochelle to announce it. UK media outlets only ran the story yesterday.

Not sure what you mean as it was only announced by La Rochelle and Saracens on 19 June!

Skelton has signed for La Rochelle

An and like against South Africa, Farrell fakes an injury after contact and then bounces straight back up!! Not that Australia really deserved to win. Yet again our ball carriers stand flat footed waiting for the ball to be passed and then start to move. So easy to defend against this. Clearly...

Great news for me. SkySports in UK in broadcasting the NRC final live tomorrow morning UK time. It's heartening to see the NRC getting some coverage outside Australia. SkySports standard fare is NZ Mitre 10 cup / NPC games so good to get some balance in this part of the world.

What ever happened to Tyrone Viiga?

It's easy to pick "turning points" with hindsight but I got a bad feeling straight for the kick off to the second half when May got the penalty against Haylett Petty for holding on to the ball from the kick off. I had the de ja vu feeling - England got a sniff and didn't need a second...

I thought Richard Hardwick also showed plenty of promise in the limited game time he had at the end of the season. Seemed to have the skills and a good tough attitude to go with it.

If you want passion, Dean Ryan has just left Worcester Warriors and apparently is not going to be appointed at Bath to replace George Ford's dad.

I really hope the Waratah Shield continues and that the state high schools can play a role. Reading this thread brought back some great memories from 1976/77 (can't remember which year to be precise). I played for Hurstville Boys High School in a few Waratah Shield games in that year. We had a...

Weather forecast for the AJ Bell is rain for most of the afternoon and early evening. Not ideal given how badly we seemed to handle a bit of wet in the first half against Italy.
