The UAFC

He’s joining after the AI.

Plenty of options to choose from for his sabbatical and he picked one with family connections.

NIQ centre Ngatai (34 in August and generally injured) coming up to the end of his second year.

Why wouldn’t the IRFU sanction it?

Nah, he was on about the Hond.

He said the braii is the limit.

Good headline in the BT.

“Clermont hammering a reality check for those overestimating us” says Nathan Doak.

Jordie Barrett linked with Leinster on their forum. Jackman had heard the rumour via a player apparently. He’s still got a year on his contract fwiw. Jackman reckons Leinster were looking at Jared Payne for attack coach but are becoming increasingly interested in 33 year old former Munster outhalf T...

There’s a chance for season ticket holders to ask Hugh if his jumper is second-hand before the match on Friday.

Surely the best response the players could do to make a point to Ferris is to just unfriend him en masse. Or stop Conceding 40/50points? That’s the only way they will win respect of former players.

Need to stay in it as long as possible.

Can’t afford to give Toulouse an inch though.

On the same theme, worth a read regarding how Saints have improved this season…. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2024/01/18/northampton-saints-gallagher-premiership-squad-bulk/ There’s a paywall but I think you get one free spin. If you can’t read it, they basically did more weights sessions!

Yep, no way were LR were getting close in that game after an indifferent season and the trip to Cape Town.

Not sure what the bookies are up to this weekend.

Saints were - 10.

Just need Exeter to come within 21 of Toulouse now.
