As a natural pessimist, I can definitely see England losing. I can see Wales being fired up rather than caught cold Yeah - what's the chance our team end up being more distracted by this than the Welsh team?! :lol: And with France & Ireland to come, this could end up being a horrible run in to ...

Way before pro rugby started, when I first started following Saints in the early 1970's you also had Coventry as part of the Midlands rugby triangle. Almost as competetive as the Glaws, Bath and Bristol triangle in the South West! Are/were Nottingham ever at the top level? I vaguely recall a few Le...

Are/were Nottingham ever at the top level? I vaguely recall a few Leicester players would go there for some experience, so maybe not - suggest they were a level down.

I'm not sure he's ever lined up with the same back row combo for successive tests and his own past caps have been intermittent. With our dearth of specialist 8s he's s...

Italy 13 - Ireland 36
Wales 20 - England 28
France 26 - Scotland 16

Definitely. Lawes has barely played this season, I don't really see that it'd be in his interest to rush him back for a big test. Let him find his feet with Saints again and hopefully he can stay fit for the World Cup. Curry's been off his best for a while. Don't see that there's a need to have him...

I wouldn’t add either of them to the squad until they’ve played a couple of Premier matches Definitely. Lawes has barely played this season, I don't really see that it'd be in his interest ...
