    I'm guessing it's incomplete data.

    It's Esportif, they are agents. The data will only be their clients obviously.

    The small print says "data collected or managed by Esportif", so I suspect they've used any data that was published as well.

    The stats are based on the highest paid 15 in each squad. So for example Jonny Sexton's counts towards the average, Ross Byrne's doesn't. 4A is the highest paid Lock in squad, 4B is the second highest paid lock in a squad.

    Cheers. Just seems weird that only wings and locks are done like that though - I realise the positions are more interchangeable but that doesn't really explain it. Would make sense if they only had 4A, 4B but they have 5A and 5B as well.

    Definitely on an upward curve under townsend, but I think a stand alone third place is the realistic aim for them.

    France are in disarray, Wales are on life support.

    Italy will be brave and will target one win.

    Northampton score a pen try in the last minute to win their first league game since September.

    Ref in the Northampton Gloucester game tried his best to get Northampton over the line the last few mins. Was straight in to try give a Gloucester player a yellow till the replay showed it wasn't even offside imo. Gave the offside anyway then couldn't give a try for a double movement and gave a contentious penalty try and yellow card with more or less the last play to win it for them.

    It should be at least 6 weeks given his previous. That's got to be a mid-range entry point for whatever law he's cited under.

    This Wasps game getting damn interesting. Wasps now have a conversion to bring it back to 17-18. Super try off first phase there, everyone doing everything at pace.

    Said on here a few weeks ago he was Ulster's target for next year.
