Rassie said it was a deserved red but he didn’t know if anything was done to provoke it…if you’ve ever played rugby or any team sport for that matter and get provoked to the point you violently respond, the instant reaction is a punch.

Why weren’t Jordan and Horne especially brought on…Dobie looked knackered
And I love Finn but he has to take a big chunk of responsibility for that…that pass for potentially 28-0 was dreadful and then it was 21-7 and Kinghorn in the bin…

The timing of less than two-years before a RWC feels right too… he should probably have a few games in the back row before playing centre just to get him used to RU…

Its a valid point, but in this instance the investment for the new DLR trains was approved under a Conservative government, not Labour…
Note that investment in infrastructure that would’ve benefited the whole of the UK was cancelled under the Conservatives too…

Brad Barritt was okish with Tuilagi outside him in the win against the ABs in 2012…and then that became the obsession until MTs retirement…who do we have to play alongside MT…who quite often wasn’t fit and then we wouldn’t have the intelligence to adapt the game plan…
