Bristol and England’s Dave Attwood joins the guys this week to reveal some loose stories from a well-traveled career. We hear about his run-in with Owen Farell, why his modern man approach didn’t go down well with a certain head coach, and skiing in France with the Galacticos of Toulon. We also get Dave’s first-hand account of Carl Fearns and Gavin Henson’s bust-up and the fallout from Sam Burgess’ move to Bath.

The underrated but increasingly well-trodden pathway through higher education to elite rugby is being utilised by England's top dogs.
Fractures appeared again in the Reds front-row in Christchurch, which could have a damning effect on their Lions tour selection hopes.
Thanks for the info. AA and IWL are both huge misses at scrum time.

7 Go to commentsAn immense game ahead. The Blues showed they are the real deal in beating the Chiefs. And away too.
They dominated territory 53% & possession 57%. Including 100% possession in last 10 minutes. They had 100% scrum win to Chiefs 80%. They had 89% lineout win to Chiefs 64%. Restarts received were 100% to Chiefs 67%. They carried 144 times to 118 for Chiefs. These stats indicate a high level of detail & strong commitment to strategy.
The Chiefs beat us twice this season. Handily. Like the Blues we need to rise to our next level. Very exciting.

Even the most one eyed Saffa would agree that players like Darnie Gerber and Ray Mordt in full flight are a sight to behold? Perhaps even as magnificent as Du Randt packing down a 5m scrum?
It’s not binary though, the article is saying we can have free flowing rugby with plenty of running and passing without removing the importance of the scrum. In fact they complement one another very nicely.
That’s what Super Rugby is trying to do and has managed, based on this article at least. You can have your cake and eat it too, as Ox Nche would put it.

Mist would also agree that if the chiefs had beaten the blues (should have but again had no desperation understandably) then we were in the ridiculous situation that the Brums and canes went through regardless
Bernie is happy because if the blues and Brums win he gets a home final
Not bad after finishing third

Harry Wilson is a talented player but can go missing a bit like Sotutu (who played well on Saturday)
He’s like a watered down Doris or Alldritt
Robbie V is in the form of his life
I love the way he carries himself
Plays well and just no shenanigans
