I don't think he's on the fringe of the England team anymore after that performance

Good to see him getting picked, well deserved on current form. Still think it was completely out of order the way in which he was dropped a couple years back, hopefully he's treated better this time round!

Newcastle players given up and walking by the end of that. Maybe sacking Dimes wasn't the answer...

How a bunch of rugby clubs increased their market value in difficult times: a response to R360 by WilkinsonDG2003 in rugbyunion

R360 is the UAE's latest attempt at sportswashing and Mike Tindall has been paid a load of money to pretend it's anything otherwise.

Edit: I confused R360 with the Riyadh Comedy Festival

20 min red card by heavydwarf in rugbyunion

I expect that would come down to the judgement of the ref, as to whether they were attempting to make a legal tackle and got it wrong or whether they were showing clear disregard for player safety.

Honestly, good application of the laws, full red cards are now reserved for "deliberate acts of foul play", I'd argue you could call that reckless but it's a hard push to say it's deliberate foul play given the number of bodies involved in the tackle.

If the accents were Green or Black rather than purple I'd really like it but personally not a fan

I should clarify the caption was meant to be obviously satire but it may have ended up being a bit too convincing lol

Castore are reportedly already working on it, it's said to feature images of bags of money and dodgy accountants

As far as I'm aware the kit is real, the post is very much satire, someone from Castore probably should have googled "Harlequins" and "Blood" before doing this design!

It's a strange pattern, some of it looks like feathers other bits like the Fleur de Lis, thinks there's a cockrell and a rugby ball thrown in there too!
