    How would European qualification work in a four group scenario? The merit basis must be retained.

    Some NFL style broader ranking gizmo would likely fix that.

    Mourad retweeted criticism of Folau so it's safe to say Toulon aren't interested. I don't think any club will go near him tbh.

    He called him a moron and said his views would fit in in the KKK

    I read yesterday that the injury to Damien McKenzie has Cruden considering doing half a season with the Chiefs so he can play in the world cup.

    Jerry Sexton has signed for the Kings on a three year deal, moving from Jersey Reds. It's interesting to see the Kings offer a foreign player such a long contract.

    Jerry Sexton is just a tax vehicle, a shell corporation, through which Johnny's lucre is filtered. Ingenious.

    Osprey's v Blues will be the first game that trials a new mouth guard with a microchip that transmits info to the sidelines about head collisions..
    The idea is to show when concussive force is involved and to reduce concussions going forward....
    Here's hoping it's a success.

    He has had a great record in The Championship in the two seasons he has been with them. 41 starts out of a possible 44 and he has scored 7 tries which isn't bad for a lock. He also also captained the side this season. At 26 he is still on the young side for a lock.

    Hope he gets a chance to play against his brother next season.

    Is there any legal way of watching Treviso vs Zebre??

    Be a brilliant achievement by Benetton to make playoffs and reach Heineken Cup next year.

    3 tries in 10 minutes by the Dragons.

    Looks like the Scarlets are out of the equation

    The Scarlets have been a complete disaster this season. A pretty dramatic fall from grace for them

    Tight finish.

    Well done to the Dragons. They deserved that.

    But now confirmed, no Welsh team in the Play Offs. That's a disgrace when you consider their national team won the Grand Slam this season.

    Yep and it can’t be building much confidence around pivac taking over Wales next season.
