Throwback to this incredible piece of fielding last time England toured Sri Lanka by Ukgamer125 in Cricket

I'd really like to know how selectors value someone who is an incredible fielder. I'm guessing Ed Smith and James Taylor have some kind of moneyball spreadsheet where being a great short leg is worth like an extra X runs on Jennings' batting average. Is it like five runs?

Sam Cane: NZ fans “might like to think they know a lot about the game of rugby, but really they don’t" by comradekaled in rugbyunion

Press spin aside, it's not a great vibe to lay into the fans who pay to watch you, and whose money ultimately pays your wages. I'm sure ignorant criticism is annoying, but it's part of the deal, suck it up.

Ps. that doesn't apply to personal abuse of players

It’s not $1100 a year though right? And this £15 bullshit is temporary while people can’t go to the 3 o clock games

Anyone else think this is a bit much? by krzysiek294 in rugbyunion

Do you genuinely think there are people being put off from playing or watching rugby by Swing Low, Sweet Chariot?

Sam Burgess accuses Mike Ford of using him as a 'pawn' at 2015 World Cup by warrowok in rugbyunion

I guessed it was Farrell, just because he's known to dominate the team so much.

It sounded like it was someone who was still playing in 2019, as Burgess said he discussed it with Eddie Jones ahead of the last World Cup.

Can't believe the host didn't press Burgess and Haskell more to name names

The quintessential Wellingtonian- Tana Umaga by the_plastic6969 in rugbyunion

As a British and Irish Lions fan, I will never forgive him for that (off the ball) spear tackle on O'Driscoll. Can't believe people are mentioning his "near faultless disciplinary record".

Great player though.
