The wind in The Aviva (Lansdowne Rd) is always a factor - many a bitter cold day stood on the old terraces back in the day -
Saracens had three Scots starting for them today and one on the bench..!
Looks like they are going to see this out. Suspect that two massive back to back games has done for Leinster.Modifying post.Comment

They rotated a fair bit though - the scrum the difference with 7 pens conceded and about 12 points. Sarries turned them over in so many crucial moments also - v impressiveOriginally posted by Buzzo View PostComment

I'm looking forward to the Racing v Saracens game today.Modifying post.Comment

R92 should win reasonably comfortably I think, taking into account the plastic pitch, the players Sarries have lost in recent months . . .
and of course Finn Russell

Presumably you were disappointed the way that game went

Great news for the Pro-14 (16). Bad news for the Cheetahs and the Kings.
Should bring a lot more coverage, interest and eventually money.
I wonder where the Heineken Cup stands in all of this?Modifying post.Comment

It's been obvious it was going to happen for a while now, but crazy how quickly and low key everything has been finalised.Originally posted by Buzzo View Post
Kings are a disgrace and don't deserve anything more than Currie Cup, they've lost almost every game since they've been involved with Super Rugby and Pro 14. This is doing them a favour to save face and get their house in order.
Cheetahs are pretty upset, justifiably, especially considering that they've recruited Frans Steyn and a couple of others. It looks like they'll play in a stripped down Super 8 SR comp if it can be agreed.
The Cheetahs though have been thrown a lifeline with SA Rugby ruling they will retain their franchise status to possibly compete in a Super Eight competition with teams from Australia and New Zealand, who will have two teams each, the Pacific Islands, Japan and Argentina.Comment

The 'Australian' printing some tasty morsels about high profile RL (briefly RU) star Sam Burgess - very, very long but summarised as -
NRL powerhouse club South Sydney Rabbitohs covered up alleged drug use, domestic violence and harassment to protect star player Sam Burgess, and is accused of using fake identities to hide positive tests for illegal substances.
