In amongst Liverpool/Man Yoo & Spurs this story has some currency at work today!
Although, as is the way in Britain, the media are trying to be the story. Apparently Walrus has been going full nuts on all 'n sundry who are sullying the great name of Saracens. Paul Williams, who is probably the most neutral, calm, balanced reporter in the business has apparently had legal action threatened on him by Jones!! If you have a look at his twitter timeline, it basically confirms this (he doesn't name SJ, but its never denied either when every response is basically saying it's him). Jones has essentially nailed his colours to the mast 100% that this just a other clubs conspiracy against them. And of course, he has his sources but needs to ensure his legal team is fine before he goes public etc.
The whole thing is really quite unbelievable.

Yeah, I read this last night and my first thought was that it didn't actually seem too bad what Saracens had done.

Maybe it should go in the stupid shit you see thread?
The Austin MLR team have rebranded and fans can't get over the absurd new name
Major League Rugby's Austin franchise - known as the Elite from 2017 to 2018 and then as the Herd last year - may have just taken the cake for the strangest team name.

Lincoln McClutchie will be thrown into the deep end by the Red Hurricanes in only his second game for the team. He'll start this afternoon's game against Kobe Kobelco Steelers, marking nobody less than Dan Carter. They've shifted Marty Banks to 12.
The Red Hurricanes aren't among the best Top League sides, so I expect a big win for Kobe. But great for McClutchie to be able to play against someone who will undoubtedly be one of his greatest examples/heroes.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a way to watch this game.

Championship clubs in shock over RFU’s decision to slash funding by 50%
The Rugby Football Union is to cut its funding of the Championship by 50%, throwing England’s second tier into turmoil and leading to accusations of Premiership ‘ring-fencing’

@Machpants That’s pretty shocking. You do wonder how much CVC have to do with such a decision.

Was wondering what impact if any this might have on the SH Exodus, so scanning a few squad lists.
Seems like the answer is not much.
I did, however, find 41 year old Mark Bright still listed among the players for London Scottish!
