Newcastle only go down if Bristol beat that team they made up in Cornwall.

this ' meeting criteria' problem makes a complete mockery of the P & R system in RU

surely the RFU have to show some flexibility ?

6,346

Oh, that four-figure crowd is nothing to worry about... really.
Looks like Newcastle will be in the Premiership after all next year.

Lovely scenes at London Irish. And these are supposed to be role-models?

If it's the "bundle" you're referring to, there's nothing wrong with a bit of biff.....they have completely sanitised fumbleball in Australia by cracking down of the fisti-cuffs. I see the London Irish coach is fuming....so maybe there's more to it than just punches, but as Tana Umaga once famously remarked to a ref, '"we're not playing tiddlywinks"

If you're talking about the declared attendance.....I agree 100%...very suspect

all those 0,000's

Setamata should feel quite at home then ?

Cardiff blues moving back to the arms park. Good call I guess no point having 7,000 rattling around in the City stadium there is no life in the stadium during the games.

Director of rugby union of the year?



Wigan sign Iain Thornley from Sale Sharks union on three and a half year deal. The centre is an ex-Warriors junior. Rumours have been going round for some time that he was frustrated and, dare I say it, bored in union.

Have you seen owt of him mate when he was playing union,do you reckon he can still cut the mustard in RL.

he didn't exactly cut the mustard in union.At the end of the day, a great union player is not necessarily a great league player, and vice versa.

I think London Welsh would be looking for a groundshare if they go up.

the Pirates are still considering the option of playing at Plymouth should they get promoted
