    There is an entire video of just Beauden Barrett doing these. It is actually disgusting how fast he is.

    I know I've said it before but I actually love just watching him run. He's one of the most efficient styles I've ever seen outside of Athletics.

    I'd say he would have been a savage miler if he didn't play rugby.

    I thought League was hugely popular in Oz? Yet only 22,000 at their WC semi final with Fiji and just over 40,000 at the final this morning

    Quade Cooper has been told he's no longer in Brad Thorne's plans for the Queensland Reds. He's now looking for a new club.

    Worth Ulster taking a punt?

    He was a complete flop at Toulon but if Ulster are desperate...

    The league RWC is a farce. Australia have won 8 of the last 9 broken only by a shock win by NZ a few years back. The interest generated by the State of Origin would be far greater.

    A few weeks ago Luke McAlister joined Clermont on loan as their two out halfs both have long term injuries. He broke his hand last weekend and is expected to be out for two months. Morgan Parra is now the only fit senior half back (9 or 10) left at the club.

    Its a shame, because with Saracens on a really poor run Clermont had a chance to shock them this week, but it may not happen now.

    I'm just not able to summon sympathy for a Top14 club running out of players, try as I might, and much as I admire Clermont.

    Didn't Earls fracture his jaw before the world cup and was only out for 4-6 weeks or something?

    Just checked and unsurprisingly Bristol are top of the Championship.

    They've won 11 out of 11 and have 10 tbps.

    They're 8 ahead of second, who they've beaten, and 19 ahead of third.

    There's no playoff for promotion this season so they look to be going up.

    Unless the rumoured reduction of teams in the prem happens.

    Which honestly would be hilarious.

    Which would require a unanimous vote from members. One of which is Bristol.

    It’ll never happen. If it does it will include some form of playoff tongove Bristol a chance.

    I'm not sure they've enough Tongan players to make up a tongove.

    Yeah 4 - 6 weeks is standard enough for an uncomplicated break

    I see the glorious Cantabrigians are holding a slender 5-3 half time lead over the devious Oxonians.

    Doesn't seem to be any international players in it this year from what I can see.

    Rugby needs to be dumbed down. I get confused way too often for someone who has been a life long fan.
