Why on earth did Leinster pay all that money to sign Jordie Barrett and then left him on the bench?

Staggering.

There is some talk in Irish media circles that their hand was forced contractually.

RG Snyman has a similar selection asterisk beside his name.
If the Irish locks are fit he cant start or something to that effect.

Are we sure Henry Pollock isn't somehow Richie McCaw's son?

More like Michael Jones's.

[sparky]

@pakman Pollock's not as cool or as brown as Ice. Similar height and build to the GOAT though.

[pakman]

@sparky that said, Iceman could have scored that try, and Ardie’s on Saturday, but Richie could not have.

Barrett was free for selection they just didn't pick him.

Just watched Bristol v Bath at the Principality stadium in Cardiff

Billed as ‘The Big Day Out’

Cracking match
Great atmosphere
50,000 they said

Maximo Park at half time
Tremendous

Both Northampton and Bordeaux play B teams and get well beaten by teams below them on the points table in their weekend games. It's 2 weeks until the final. The French clubs don't take their away games as seriously.

Rugby Australia  /  May 12

Parling to take Leicester Tigers Head Coach role after Lions Series

[OomPB]

3 SA teams in the URC top 5.

[Bones]

Caught the first 20 or so minutes of the Castre game. Goodhue non existent and moves like Owen Franks.

[Bones]

Got excited and thought a move to Somerset wouldn't be too bad.

Then I looked down. That hurts the brain.

@Bones

Wellington is very close to Tiverton. As long as you can bring your wife, your sister and your aunt you will be fine. Just as long as they are all one and the same person.

A great weekend for England coming up

Bath and Northampton to lift their respective cups in Cardiff

That's him in all the photos.

[MiketheSnow]

That’s 1 from 1

Bath played well
But thought they were lucky with their YCs
Both could easily have been 20 min RC

[sparky]

Bordeaux leading Northampton 12-7 after 20 minutes. Good game so far.

[sparky]

I wonder if Adam Coleman and Pete Samu will feature for the Wallabies against the Lions.

Finn Smith hits a penalty. Saints 10 Bordeaux 12.
