Lark Davies claims hat-trick as Red Roses ease past Barbarians

02 Jun 2019

Fiao'o Fa'amausili of Barbarians runs in to score her team's second try

England celebrated the staging of their historic first match against the Barbarians by cruising to a 40-14 victory at Twickenham.

Hooker Lark Davies led the charge by scoring a hat-trick in front of an impressive crowd of 17,402, while wing Kelly Smith, flanker Poppy Cleall and prop Hannah Botterman also touched down.

The Red Roses led 28-0 at half-time but the Barbarians threatened a fightback through tries from Fiao’o Fa’amausili and Millie Wood until Davies and Smith put the result beyond doubt.

WPOTY. Nothing else needs saying. None of the other back rows come within a mile of him.

Even as a Leinster fan I hope he tells Farrell to shove it and goes off to someone like Bordeaux to earn an absolute fortune.

Farrell has clearly been setting the ground for the England job with his selections. English wherever possible even where far better options available. Sooner he leaves the better.

Snubbed superstar returns as Wallabies make 5 changes for Lions finale

“Superstar” is a bit of a stretch.

One of the great wasted talents more likely. Maybe if he’d stuck with a better system.

Mark Tele'a one of three Kiwis recruited by Steve Hansen's Toyota Verblitz

Ironic that Hansen used to complain about overseas clubs thinning out NZ’s talent and players leaving for the cash, and now he’s part of the problem himself.

He’s even taking the youngsters like Gallagher. Nice one Steve.

Van der Flier Lions cut creates ripples with Ireland but Ryan gets late reward

For me, this Lions tour has lacked the normal excitement. The games and style have been “workmanlike” and whilst the defence has been outstanding, the attack has been a little muted compared to the past.

Not sure if that’s the way things are changing, the coaches, the players/squad but it doesn’t feel like we have seen the fireworks of the past.

France bring in big gun consultants in bid to break World Cup duck

I’m surprised that France hasn’t been more focused on the WRWC; at the last one they should have been contending for the final after missing an easy winning penalty against the Black Ferns in the semis.

Van der Flier Lions cut creates ripples with Ireland but Ryan gets late reward

When you look at his contributions over the last 3 tours, Tom Curry has put himself in the debate for “ONE OF” the best Lions opensides. VdF has been unfortunate to be competing at the same time, so is not a reflection on him, just bad timing of who you were up against.

Premiership free-for-all to sign Louis Rees-Zammit

I think we will learn a lot about LRZ when his eventual team is announced. If it’s Newcastle or France, it was all about the money, if it’s anyone else, you’ll need to take a deeper look at why he chose them.

It’s hard to see how Bath, Sarries or Leicester can afford him and wing is not a position that either Sale or Northampton need to strengthen per se, so it leaves you with the obvious candidates.

Still feel Top 14 is the likely destination over the Premiership but we’ll see.

England ace withdrawn from training on eve of final Lions' Test

There are adverts embedded in the page. They write the articles in such a way that there is a load of irrelevant rubbish at the top which pushes the actual content you want to read further down the page so you have to scroll past the advert to read it. Every article is the same, some clickbaity, ambiguous title which doesn't refer to any players by name so you have to click on the article, then the players name won't be revealed until you've scrolled down past an advert. Sometimes when they get really desperate for clicks they'll even include a misleading picture of someone like Owen Farrell with some lesser known England players in the background and a title like “England star announced shock retirement!” and after you've clicked on the article and scrolled down past multiple adverts you'll find it was some guy in the background of the Owen Farrell photo who’s 39 years old and was capped one by England in 2009.

I get that it's their chosen business model which means their content is free to read but it's still disingenuous.

It’s PREM Clubs - not Premiership Clubs. I was corrected by the RugbyPass Editors the other day…

Louis Rees-Zammit puts timeline on move after 'unbelievable' interest

If LRZ signs for a non Welsh Club, does he have enough Test Caps to be allowed to be pick for the National side? I thought there were certain requirements but I forget what they are.

In reality though, he is only saying that & will be using whichever Club he signs for to bide his time until he is off to the Rubbish360 lark.

“By leaving Josh van der Flier out of all three of his Lions Test squads, Farrell has cast a pall over Ireland’s best openside”

Not really mate, there are some good players from the other nations who are allowed to be selected over Irish players. It's the BIL not IL.

I think what has surprised me the most is where the talent is playing on the field. I thought there would alwasy be plenty of good back three’s and back row’s but there is a fund of excellent front rowers too!

Ha ha 😝 that is reaching! Yes they lost by a point was it? With a heavily rotated side. And duly smashed the Pumas in SA.

Can the AB’s beat the Pumas with their best team??
