I haven't.

Shhhhh

Calum Clark moving to Sarries next season.

Hope it works out for him. He's gone from the fringes of the England squad to the fringes at Northampton. I like him even though he has a card in him, so a reboot to his career might well be best all round.

Good luck lad.

Two weeks to go. Three uncapped players in the England squad. Williams, Catt and Lozowski all in.

Nel out . England would have to lose about 6 players to equate to the effect this will have on Scotland.

Let's hope he's better for the Lions tour, we're going to need to scrummagers down there.

There isn't a player I dislike more than Calum Clark. Perhaps Sexton with his footballer esque rolling around and constant moaning to the ref. Hopefully he can't break into the match day squad and disappears to France after a year.

Looks like Goode is off to France too I really hope Sarries trust their young English players rather than replace Ashton and Goode.

It's a good job we're not all the same, eh. I understand why you might think that way, but I like him and I hope he gets his career back on track.

Starts next week

Noticed there's a few of the usual posters missing. SARS? Ding?

Hi folks,

Still lurking here myself, sorry I've been a bit quiet, it's all this resting in the afterglow of another glorious Gloucester campaign. Lots of changes at Kingshilm, very sad to see Kvesic on his way, hope fully he'll get a shot at an England spot at Exeter

Don't know if you saw the gelayed Harlequins game but ahead of it Will Greenwood was talking about the debt some clubs are carrying specifically Saracens, Wasps and Bath whilst others - Leicster and Northampton were fine because they operated purely on an income stream basis, sounded a little worrying having seen what happened in football

Anyway, who are we going for in the first batch of fixtures and what about Wales asking for their roof to be shut for all matches, does that give unfair advantage in the bonus point era - I'd hate to see a roof on Twickenham, Murrayfield etc but you can see how this will go, what would Wavell Wakefield say eh?

Another one for you, how about Nick Abendanon for Lions fullback?

I need a run down of which matches are on the BBC and ITV.

Bluddy hell, London Welsh gone for good and within an hour their results have been expunged and they have disappeared off the league table on the RFU website.

Very sad to see a once glorious club end like this. A salutary lesson to all, we are one step further down the road of a closed shop Superleague. Add Leeds and London Irish to the current Premiership and that will be that, no-one else will be welcome.

Easy mate, tune in to the BBC at the times mentioned in the OP. If it's not on, tune in to ITV. Seemples

Not sure you'll find England home games though - or have they stopped that greedy money-grabbing nonsense?

It's only because I watch a lot of the matches on my iPad. Easy on the BBC website but not so itv.

Steady in the shower lads, its slippy

Who's commentating on ITV? Can't believe they've got more games than the Beeb, but there you go.

BBC 6 games to ITV 9. Looks like I'll struggle to see quite a few matches.

Buy a telly and pay the licence fee ya skinflint.

Did you have any joy with the tri-rugby guys?

Got one but watch games on my iPad. Other half has the telly!

I've got a tag rugby event coming up at the end of March. I'll get my team together for that then look at other stuff for them to play in during the summer.

Can you let me have details of the tag event. Might get our guys down here interested. They only really get to the Wooden Spoon event once a year, so maybe more opportunities would be welcome.

There may not be enough time, but Jamie might bring The Clan down for that. They always come to the WS tournament.

It's for all the local schools in our area. Unfortunately, you wouldn't be able to take part. I'm looking forward to seeing some of our players as they play for clubs on a weekend etc.
