  • Ok although I don't agree with you I respect your opinion because you have backed yourself up

  • Justify why ospreys would finish 3rd...saints 6th and the most successful rugby team in England wouldn't make the top ten!

  • Comment 11 clueless mate

  • @ 18. Bob

    Unless Ford gets some game time soon don't count on him staying at Leicester. I'm sure Tigers will try their best though, with Flood not playing very well you have to ask why Ford isn't being given a chance.

    @07015678

    There is no way any of the Welsh teams would compete that highly. Their Heineken cup form over the years shows that fact.

  • Anglophone - Pretty sure the BBC covered the Andrew Bishop story with tassels on, that's how I found out about his idiotic behaviour.
    But hey, don't let facts get in the way of another sly BBC / Welsh rugby bias dig. You seem to rattle one off everytime you touch the keyboard.

  • Perhaps Ford is being rested so that he is fresh for the Autumn internationals when Flood is unavailable. I think London Welsh show why promotion and relegation is needed in any league.

  • A great game by the Welsh today and Gloucester were lucky to win. You can only admire the Welsh given the really difficult start to the season that they were given. Their performances are a great tribute to the spirit and skills of the players and to the capability of the management team and the Clubs directors. With performances like this they will certainly stay up and grow in stature.

  • 07015678 Have you heard of George Ford?

  • Why would any teams from Scotland or Wales finish above any of the Premiership teams

  • Why so?

  • It would appear that Jerry was a bit easy on the Chief's eh? 4 out of 4 so far, even if the points difference are a little out.

  • Wand, a bit odd to say Guscott is clueless. He's a better and more honest pundit than most and his forecasts by and large make sense. Are you suggesting he should be predicting a win for Exeter vTigers? . Exeter have done well for two years but anyone who knows their rugby would not tip them to win against Tigers at Wexford road. In fact most would say anyone who did was clueless!,

  • After the thuggery of Newcastle last season under Gary Gould it's disappointing 2 Bath players have already been cited for foul play, albeit not "convicted" . With Gould's constant prattling on about "facing up" I hope the appropriate authorities can deal with this type of "coaching" before it blights the game in the UK.

  • guscott is clueless. i dont think he has ever predicted a chiefs' result correctly!

  • I wouldn't describe Tigers as being 'thumped' against Quins. Beaten by a good side yes but not thumped especially when you look at the only try that Quins scored where in the build up they were in at the side of two rucks, Danny Care knocked the ball on and they held onto the ball in one tackle yet the TMO was only asked to check a forward pass then didn't use the TMO when Tigers may have scored.

  • their*

  • Can't wait for work to end as I'm straight off to Franklins Gardens!!!!!!!

    The issue I think Wasps are going to have is with the Saints pack, and they have gone for a big one this week!
    So although Wasps have been good in attack, there isn't much they can do when constantly going backwards.

    But here's hoping I am completely wrong!!!

    COME ON WASPS!!!!!!!!!!

  • Jeremy, whilst i agree Tigers were very poor last week v Quins, at least get your facts right, Tigers were not nearly full strength. missing were Murphy, Manu, Youngs, Deacon, Ayerza and Croft. that's more than a fifth. I accept strength in depth but they also had 3rd choice wing & 3rd choice scrum half playing due to injuries. Please Jeremy research before writing!!!

  • Kris24, I just don't fancy Leicester for 2013. I know they've started well this year defensively but I think Cockerel will crumble and Flood is one of the most over rated players ever. Despite Ospreys bad start they have a very good squad and always finish well. Ulster and Scarlets have started superbly this year and have stronger squads than Saints. I think they will carry this form to 2013.

  • Anyone care to speculate who the top 10 teams would be (in finishing order) from an amalgamated 2013 Pro12/Prem league? I'd go 1.Leinster, 2.Quins, 3.Ospreys, 4.Scarlets, 5.Ulster, 6.Saints, 7.Sarries, 8.Edinburgh, 9.Munster, 10.Glasgow.
