Money talks. For all the posturing ultimately they wouldn't be able to withstand the financial resources of the Saudis - either in legal fees or prize monies on offer.

So London Irish gone. Yet still some in rugby community seem shocked that it could happen. Fundamentally flawed business model - much like the Championship but without the PL financial carrot.

Spinners just don't get overs in the first part of the county season due to weather & wickets then they're bowling white ball during the dry months.

Not the biggest Leach fan but the cupboard looks pretty bare now he's been ruled out of the Ashes

Hopefully crfc can become a big deal again and the city has its real rugby club being successful.

going to be tight. Both teams in similar form. They don't create many chances but don't give up many either.

Joy must be gutted :)

Heart still racing. Just amazing

Unbelievable. That was torture.

Come on!!!!!! Finish it
