Merry Christmas one and all!!

It's a disgrace. Huge chunk taxpayers money. Absolute joke that RFU can make them pay rugby creditors but no-one can make them repay the taxpayer. Get back in premiership and rugby people will be hailing it as a success

Obviously pays off 1.85m IPL contract !!

Then it's a bad business idea to play on Solihull if you're in the same division????? Can't watch both at the same time

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2022/12/21/premiership-clubs-heading-disaster-having-amassed-300m-net-debt/ Been saying it all along. reliance on benefactors, desperate CVC deal, bad management, lack of interest etc. Maybe Wasps fans should read this to find out where the real blame lays.

Halfway through the season and the table is ridiculous. Not sure I've seen a table this congested this far into a season

Think it shows how useless RFU and Rugby Premiership are. Now saying they want a competitive 2 tier system having spent years gutting the finances from the 2nd Tier. There are few 2nd Tier clubs that can hope to meet Premiership entry requirements, finance academies etc. Wasn't long ago they...

Just lost my dad and he loved the answer to the BPA

Comfortable win to cap an impressive 3-0. Hope people remember the wins through aggressive declarations under this new regime because occasionally it will backfire. Positives amongst players - Harry Brook - don't mess about with him. continue him at 5. Ollie Robinson is an elite quick bowler -...

if i'm right the picture clue is very amusing

Just think football is a bit more difficult than cricket due to the much higher risk/reward element - promotion, relegation etc values. but Pl clubs confuse me with the huge money they spend on non-elite overseas players whilst they have had years to perfect expensive academies.

This England team has such momentum. Now a 18 year old pops in and takes 5 on debut - more impressive as he's done against players brought up on spin. Barring a complete meltdown it's a 3-0 win in Pakistan One of the "benefits" of the COVID season was a lot of teenagers getting county cricket -...

Bit pointless. He's not hard to find. Lives near my mum.

Rugby family died when the sport went professional. Then it became a business and competition moved off the field as well as being on it. It is such a weak and naive argument about Rugby family. Where was Wasps concern about moving in on Worcester and CRFC's territory? None. They made a business...

Don't blame them. Think it's about rugby authorities trying to minimize damage. Not easy to attract funding, sponsorship etc if clubs are failing. Apparently other clubs still at risk so want to create a process for others to recover if needs be. At least 4 or 5 Premier clubs surviving due to...

Now that's another good win against a really good side. Really Lions only big defeat this season. Tough game against Jets but an outside chance of 9-8. That's real progress . Pederson a good coach.

How the hell can you have so many empty seats at a World cup final?

Don't think France are that good anyway ,- defence in particular.

Probably most ridiculous Vikings game I've ever seen. Everything that could go wrong did in the first half. Keep winning in spite of the defence. How Donatell is still there I have no idea !! Officials garbage yet again

I'd see that as damning stat. Means a large proportion of their season ticket holders weren't locals/part of the community etc.
