Sale fans must be over the moon they've got Newcastle and Leeds in the same division.

I'm struggling through Quins and London Irish.

60 minutes 21 - 18 to Quins and not a try scored.
You can tell how boring it is when the crowd started the Mexican wave after 20 minutes.

Missed the first 5 minutes but think it's been standard fayre as far as this year's competition has gone.

Can't believe you lasted 60mins! I watched 5mins(ish) of Wasps v Sarries t'other day til I fell asleep.

Aviva Premiership RU is awful, international RU is by far better to watch IMHO. Still no match for RL though!

You do wonder how they have the nerve to accuse us of 'stop-start' rugby, when almost every game in their top flight which I have seen this season has been scrum-collapse of scrum-penalty with the odd interlude of endless phases going nowhere.

70,000 people were there, whether 70,000 actually paid for their tickets is another question!

The Twickenham crowd was indeed impressive but the Wembley crowd was anything but. £10 adults and £25 for a family of four and yet under 40,000 on.
