    Lots of chat about Owen Farrell leaving Racing Club in Paris and resigning for Saracens.

    Better off losing 9 letters

    If they’d lost 12 would have sounded like a new Gall bladder medicine

    Gall Prem

    @Bones I wonder how much the marketing consultants charged for that one?

    Total and utter bollocks if you ask me.

    And after all the waffle about Australasian refs being lax on high shots, it's astonishing watching players target the upper shoulders time after time in the premiership final.

    Only saw the highlights but is good goal kicking and an intercept enough to justify him being the B&I Lions 10?

    Leinster leading 19-0 at half time. Probably game over.

    You'd think the ridiculous action at the end of that intercept play would give any coach pause for thought. Very Spencer v crusaders like.

    He wouldn't have made it

    The pass was the correct decision IMHO

    I’ve never really been that convinced by Ryan Baird as either a lock or a blindside but watching him against the Bulls, I reckon he’d make a pretty decent number 8. Seems to thrive when he gets more touches of the ball.

    He was already looking before he hit the 22 line

    Passed at approx the 18m mark

    His arse went / realised he was too slow

    @MiketheSnow would have gone over in the tackle at worst.

    It finishes 32-7 to Leinster. Jordie Barrett heads back home with a URC winners' medal in his luggage.

    Twickenham was an 80,000 sell out for the Premiership Final yesterday, whereas Wembley was only 3/4 full for the Rugby League Challenge Cup last weekend.

    League may be the dominant code in Australia and is rapidly overtaking Rugby in New Zealand, but Rugby is the code bringing in the punters in much greater numbers in England.
