The Australia V NZ game last night was one of the best games of Rugby League I have ever seen. Stunning international.

Some tight games in the Championship at the weekend . Great last gasp win for Nottingham and a very surprising win for Doncaster against Bristol. Sadly it looks as though Birmingham will be wound up this week.

I'm not sure what will happen to the winners of the Championship this season. Apart from the fact that any team promoted would be out of their depth in the Premiership their grounds would not be of the required standard or meet the requirements on ground ownership. This latter factor would apply to Nottingham and the former would apply to London Welsh , big time !

I'm not sure about Exeter having never been there, do they share with the football team?

Exeter have their own ground and have been developing it for a few seasons now. The RFU have said it meets the criteria. Only Exeter and Bristol currently have grounds that meet Premiership criteria.

Thanks for the info about Exeter. I doubt whether our clubs would win the Championship anyway. The other tournament with Irish and Scottish teams is much more realistic.

I was wondering what has happened to big Joe, but it appears he is serving yet another ban. Come back Joe

This may be a really silly question but.....What is French Rugby Top 14 Orange ? Is Orange the sponsor ?
Yup - Orange the mobile phone company. Descriptive terms in French come after the noun they are describing - Top14 being the league, Orange being the sponsor.

Many thanks. I should have paid more attention in French lessons and I might have got more than a CSE Grade 5

Looks like Sale are off from Stockport.

Maybe looking at their own ground or I guess they could be off to Warrington which has brought up a few times before.

In terms of passion for the game and having rugby throbbing through your veins, who agrees with me that, despite the disparity in success of the two teams involved, the best matchup in world rugby is Wales v New Zealand?

Oh and good luck to Wales RL team against Ireland this weekend.

I'd go with France vs New Zealand, as they probably play the best rugby of the northern hemisphere teams

I'm missing London Welsh v Doncaster this weekend.

Birmingham and Solihull docked 15 points for going into liquidation. That puts them on -14 points and a possible wind-up by the end of November.

France are yet to find that old spark and creativity in the
21st century IMHO.

Great second half from England this afternoon. Went down 16-26 to the Kangeroos but showed a lot of spirit in the second 40. Thought Kevin Sinfield was outstanding

Regards Jonno's selection do i detect a hint of Leicester bias??


I cannot believe that the majority of England's best locks all play for Leicester?

What has Nick Kennedy done wrong???

So a big weekend for Wales coming up

Nov 7th : Wales v New Zealand (XVs)
Nov 8th : Wales v Scotland (XIIIs) - European Cup final

Wonder what the odds on both winning are?

Kennedy's been called up now, so hopefully he'll get his chance

can't believe we lost to Leeds yesterday, though they did play well against Sarries (so I guess they were due a win)

good second half performance from England, though it's a bit crap to only start playing after going 26-0 down

Wales 42 - 12 Ireland.

I like it, far more than the London Welsh result.
