Finn Russell to Bath for a million a season apparently

[Cormack74]

Yeah - we butchered one of the biggest overlaps in Rugby history to not take a commanding lead at one point in the second half. Was about a 7-1.

It was frankly bizarre and definitely more difficult not to score than to score

Quite a coup for Bath.

About 4 terrible decisions in a row.

Speaking of four or five terrible decisions in a row.

It does seem a conflict of styles FR and JVG, but equally probably better JVG than Hooper who my Bath spy told me was a complete bell end.

Even schoolboy rugby looks better than that

this is a much safer space! At least until Feb.

Do we know who they are bringing in to replace Finn?

No idea but they’ll get someone big no doubt - Lancaster going there so it will need to be an all rounder

I didn’t realise that Lancaster was going there!

I guess he has done it all with Leinster, absolutely zero challenge in being head coach there.

It’s a big blow to Leinster - he was running the side on the pitch with Cullen overseeing the big picture. The one thing in their favour is that their talent line is ridiculous - so many top players coming through and continuing to come through there

Basically managing and preserving the number 1 international side in a clubs environment. It’s a truly amazing set up.

Agree Lancaster had been pivotal so he is a massive loss - clearly a gifted coach. Who is in to replace him (I could google it - but this is more conversational and helps you through your day at work!)

No replacement announced as yet - getting him was a coup and I wonder if they might go into the Irish pool to replace him
