I’m not inspired by a Leinster v Saracens final at all.
Best two teams though.Modifying post.Comment

"Mistakenly" liked a post he never read
Vunipola should have used that line 
Ireland international Bundee Aki has apologised for 'liking' an anti-gay social media post by Israel Folau.
Connacht centre Aki says he liked the comment by Folau without realising the substance of the post.
Folau has appealed against his sacking by Rugby Australia after saying "hell awaits" gay people on social media.
"I've family members, friends, and I've worked with many people who are gay and I have nothing but love and respect for everyone of them," said Aki.
"I do want to apologise for any confusion or offence this may have caused anyone and I will pay more attention to what I 'like' in future."Comment

They’ll nearly be able to get a homophobe 15 together at this rate.
Some of the about turns are ridiculous.Modifying post.Comment

Glasgow crushes Edinburgh yesterday. Edinburgh missed out even on Champions Cup playoff so ultimately a really disappointing season.
Glasgow are playing very well. I wouldn’t rule them out for the Pro14 title.Modifying post.Comment

They could do a lot worse TBH.
Although there also seem to be some mutterings about Gatland taking over from Eddie J, in which case I've no doubt Edwards would go with him.Comment

Glasgow won’t have had a game for 3 weeks. Seems bizarre how they structure it, the tournament loses a bit of momentum.Modifying post.Comment

Scotland Training squad for WC announced featuring long forgotten Duncan Taylor
It is a strong squad so for perhaps the first time in many years some very good players are destined to miss out on selection. Some real competition for places pretty much everywhere except the front row.Modifying post.Comment

Looks like it could be the last Rugby Union sees of Israel Folau.
Israel Folau has been found guilty of a "high level breach" of Rugby Australia's player code of conduct after he said "hell awaits" gay people in a social media post.
A three-person panel who presided over his hearing will now consider what punishment the 30-year-old will face.
His RA contract was terminated in April but he requested a hearing.
The Waratahs full-back, contracted with RA until 2022, escaped punishment for similar comments last year.
The panel will take written submissions from both parties before deciding Folau's sanction.
Folau - who has won 73 caps and was expected to play at this year's World Cup in Japan - gave evidence on Saturday, with RA chief executive Raelene Castle and Waratahs chief executive Andrew Hore also appearing before the panel.
Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has said Folau is unlikely to be selected for Australia again.
In addition to his rugby union career, Folau has also played professional rugby league and Australian rules football.
In April, Australian rugby league's governing body ruled out Folau returning to the NRL.Modifying post.Comment

So Leinster / Saracens tomorrow lads, who's going to win?
IMO Sarries to sneak it but the game will be won on such small margins that it could just as easily be Leinster taking home the trophy.
Really looking forward to it partly to take my mind off the really important stuff on Sunday
