"Rugby social would be awesome and if I could I’d take everyone to Japan. I think it will be the best one so far. 2015 was brilliant as a event not England’s play of course " 2015 was brilliant. I went to the Ireland/France game. Second best game I’ve ever been to in my life. | |||

"RWC 2015 was great. I saw all 3 games at Exeter. All blacks in Cardiff. England up north but can't remember where and what I thought was the best game I saw was Australia v Scotland in the quarter final. Scotland was robbed. As for local team I was at Twickenham back in May to see my team Exeter Chiefs beat Wasps to become prem champions." I’ve wiped that game from memory... along with half a dozen already this season | |||

My brother is over there and it would be the perfect opportunity to visit. A lotto win would sort this! Jealous that you’ve done two, Fabio. | |||

"i wonder if world rugby union will look and see what league have managed to do with their players "2nd tier nation" rule and see if they could implement it..... it has made the rubgy league world cup very competative.... watched the 2 qrt finals this morning and they were both fascinating games for different reasons... if you put that in place in union... the pacific nations would be a hell of a watch as i think they have been ravaged by australia and new zealand stealing their best players" I'd imagine that there'd be a huge shift in international rugby power, although in the last 5 or 6 years, a fair few names on the England team sheet have suggested that Twickenham is a suburb of Apia | |||

"Just finished catching up on yesterday’s games as I’m finally fit and playing again so missed them all. Terrific performance from the Scots against what’s looked all autumn like a poor Australia, Fin Russel has to be close to being the best fly half worldwide. England were clinical when it counted although rather unstructured, Simmonds at 8 looked good and Itoje’s performance again...just unbelievable. Very thankful we have the Irish at twickenham for the 6N’s because the pace, precision and power they show every game lately puts them in the box seat for me. Hopefully home adv will see us home in March " I’ll be in Twickenham for that one Love watching Itoje, does he ever stop?! | |||

"european rugby is baaaaack!!!!! I am going to say something contoversial... I prefer champions cup rugby pool games to the autumn internationals...... there... i said it!!! " I'd happily get rid of the Autumns & go back to the old tours, - much more of an even playing field & far more enjoyable. | |||

"Current world rugby rankings have England at 2,Ireland up to 3,courtesy of the wallabies loss. Scotland stay at 6, Wales at 7. France drop to 9. This made for happy reading " Just a quick update - Scotland are in fact now ranked 5th. Swapped places with SA last week | |||

"as much as i love watching union.... the game of the weekend by a country mile was the league semi between england and tonga this morning ... if only for the 25,000 tongans who rolled into auckland... that was an experience and a half... which kinda brings me back to the elligablity rules.... and i wish the pacific islanders now will condsider playing for fiji/samoa/tonga i didn't realise but new zealand have made it almost impossible to do that because they have a blanket rule were you cannot play super rugby for a nz team if you you are not committed to play for the kiwi's... and bearing in mind they have 5 of the 15 sides pacific islanders can't really play elsewhere do to a shed load of restrictions... australia and new zealand basically pick of the best of them...." Fiji/ Samoa / Tonga have always been outstanding at 7’s We used to have a superb invitation 7’s weekend up here (Wirral) every May bank holiday but it dropped to a one-dayer about 10 years ago. In my teens & early 20’s though, I saw some incredible games at the Caldy 7’s & the Fiji & Samoans were absolutely a class apart! Beer tent was always superb too I miss those days!! | |||

"First Christmas Eve fixture at welford road since 1927 and it looks like being a belter. Leicester’s squad is looking really strong to me and I’m hoping they can extend Saracens losing streak to 8 on the trot just because I’m sick of them winning everything in the last few seasons Come on you tigers !!!" How I wished that came true for you. I watched it! | |||

"Great idea. A social and more would perhaps wipe out the agony of being a Tigers fan this season. The excellent Ricoh stadium would have been cheered still further by an away-loss ruck & maul." But a win today! | |||

"i am almost beginning to feel sorry for george north.... basically he is coming back to wales next season on a dual national contract which means the WRFU will pay 60% and the region will pay 40%... all 4 welsh regions initally said they were interested... however scarlets have said they are no longer looking for a wing... and cardiff have said they are now looking at front row players... which means that norths next destination will be the ospreys... or heaven forbid, the dragons!!!! lol the thought of poor george having to play in newport almost made me cry... lol " as if he's fit to grace the pitch that ken Jones once blessed with his presence..... | |||
