    Apparently the "mind" behind the Premiership's "relaunch" as the Prem next season is the mind who is responsible for the abortion that is The Hundred.

    If I ever meet him I might offer him a piece of my mind.................

    It will be short and sweet and include the words charlatan, piston wristed gibbon and fluffybunny!

    These morons just don’t live in the real world

    Prem is short for premature, as in a baby

    Early, with complications, and ultimately smaller than normal

    What a brilliant set of words to describe an elite rugby competition

    Said no one ever

    @sparky I note the guy says
    "This league is not broken, it is actually flourishing - we just need to reframe ourselves a little bit to make sure we can reach those wide audiences and grow."
    in the article . Clearly he is unaware of the three Clubs going bust (Wasps, Lomdon Irish and Worcester) in the last two seasons not to mention most of the others still taking part running at massive deficits.

    I much prefer the T20.
    I just think it's odd making it 100 balls, 5 or 10 ball overs etc.
    Like making rugby 75 minutes instead of 80. Kinda of whats the point.

    But then if you and the family enjoy it then that's good enough πŸ‘

    Does T20 play as regularly, have double headers and is as well priced and attended? I literally have no idea as despite attending a handful of 100's games it doesn't even pop up.

    And Bordeaux beat Toulon - so it will be the top two teams that won't fully participate in the tour to NZ.

    Someone needs to do some kind of lab experiment on Nonu. How THE FUCK he still does that at his age is mind boggling.
