Why do you think it would work? The history of forwards swapping codes is very poor. If the RFU wants to spend money on league talent it sould be on outside backs.
SBW can't be the only player good at both codes. We won't find out unless we try I suppose. |

Farrell wants him at inside centre to provide some smash in attack and defence. I think he would be great there but I aslo think he may be a penalty machine and a potential yellow red card machine. |

Out of interest who do we think is the most successful convert from League?
I would say it is Brad Thorn who ironically is a forward who transferred and has won pretty much everything. |

Been reading very odd things about the Murrayfield pitch including growing garlic on it to halt the effect of roundworms. Doesn't sound like it was planted soon enough though!

Albeit with a weaken side Leicester are certainly getting a good game off Worcester.
Only ahead by a point ATM. Sale easily winning - much improved this season whereas Gloucester have had a mare. |

5 scrums 4 of which end in penalties. Commentators struggling to say why.
Why are scrums such a mess? |

What an emphatic win for Ireland. A few hot headed Welsh players.

The atmosphere seems to disappear really quickly after the final whistle. The crowd just stopped cheering.
We'll done Ireland! Where were Wales? |

The stadium seems quite empty. Very unusual.

A powerful display from Ireland in Dublin - Peter O'Mahony... jesus look what a Corkman - what a beast... Wales were look ordinary at times and if anything the scoreline flatters them a little...
England next - bring in on!

Ireland executed their gameplan well. Wales outplayed and outmuscled with insufficient possession, didn't seem to have a plan B.
Phillips had to be substituted at the end to avoid being carded. 15th March looking good for a last match decider. |

Not much discussion on here. Not many rugger fans on DS it seems.
