Really enjoyed reading your detailed analysis of our squad for next season. I tend to agree with most of what you say however I unfortunately have to say that I don’t share your optimism for our existing options at 10. I don’t feel Doak has improved as a player at s/h over the last few seasons and ...

An age old Ulster problem. Toulouse, last year and this, are the most prolific team in Europe at scoring tries in returning opposition kicks. Didn’t stop Ulster in the 2 legged match continuing to kick the ball down their throats. Ntamack actually moved to full back to field them. Hence losing winni...

It has been a remarkable rise for Northampton, who have consistently spent under the salary cap and invested in a young coaching team under former captain and England flanker Dowson.

This has not come by chance. Mark Darbon, Northampton’s chief executive, is highly regarded and tipped by some to succeed Bill Sweeney at the Rugby Football Union, and the decision to hire the veteran coach Chris Boyd to oversee the development of Dowson and his attack coach Sam Vesty six years ago ...

Ultimately Leinster have weaponised their natural advantages brilliantly. A couple of things are very clear: The privately...
