There’s a good group of people trying to break into the industry too who would kill for this opportunity. At most press conferences I go to I always try to ask a question and if I don’t I kick myself afterwards. This is harsh on those like me desperately wanting a chance.

Commuting in London is actually mental. Seen people strop around because they have to wait 2 minutes for the next train, people shove kids out the way to get on trains and then pay £65 for the privilege.

You come out of Plough Lane, you turn left and you’re in another (much bigger) Borough of London. Surely they would factor in that it’s not just their own Borough? Clearly not
I was shocked to learn that the catchment area provision which should reward clubs in big markets hurts London because according to the criteria they don’t represent London but a small area which ends around halfway at their ground! Seriously!

I said it before the Fiji game but this is very reminiscent of a Rugby League attack. The fullback is often used as an extra ball player, whilst still providing that dangerous running option out the back. Very interesting to see how it can be used in Union
Despite never having started a game at full back, England's 'magician' Marcus Smith will be used there as a replacement, in a last-minute tactical change to complement George Ford
