If we still had A team fixtures…


Being brutally honest it's probably easier to get into the Wales team than the Bath team.
Griffin needs to leave Bath for his own development, he’s currently 4th choice atm.
Agreed he has possibly hit a problem since being capped as all Prem teams need to have an average of 15 players in their 23 who are eligible for England over the season or face a £250k fine. Given this and the rewards around the salary cap increases for getting players into England squads Bath have more incentive to develop Sela.

That’s why Christ is leaving Exeter for Cardiff.

I went to the game, hadn't been for years fed up of being surrounded by ill-informed so-called supporters, up and down to bar/toilet incessantly and having beer tipped over me. I went yesterday because I wanted to see Dupont, Jalibert &Co. I witnessed some great rugby (not from us sadly), sat in midst of French supporters - noisy & passionate who stayed in seats to cheer their side on. They commiserated with me, I congratulated them and came away remembering why I love the game.
