Yep I gave up on Wasps when they moved to Coventry. It’s a bit weird being clubless in the premiership, at least I’ve still got Racing

Welcome to my world of watching the URC every year. The whole thing is just waiting for Leinster to fuck it up possibly. They fucked it up in spectacular style |

Why though?
It's just branding no? And Exeter fucked that up

Exactly!
If you've ever watched Buffy, Supernatural, or any shows of that ilk, there's always an episode in which a grief-stricken person wants to bring their loved one back from the dead, and it *always* ends badly - the reanimated corpse is invariably a shuffling, mindless zombie, a hollow shell of what it once was, and the person who performed the resurrection ritual ends up dead (or at least wishing they hadn't bothered).
Just let Wasps and Warriors die. Yes, it's sad, but that's life. Don't licence their names and colours to 'franchise' entities that bear no relation whatsoever to the historical clubs that once shared those (superficial) elements.
I don't want to watch a version of 'Wasps' that's the equivalent of a psychotic serial killer wearing his victim's skin as a poorly-tailored suit.

Now 35-25, six minutes to go, Saracens down a man.
Sale need to score, and quickly.

WE DID IT! It's coming home to Barnet. Stoof and I are outside StoneX celebrating. You won't recognize him with all the Sarries face tattoos.

Add Monaco Qualifying and the Bundesliga to that list.
Just need Coventry to win for the full house of 'do I not like that' results.

As a former Wasps fan, Coventry City winning their game and getting promoted would be a weirdly apt end to the rugby season.

Heh, Munster beat Stormers. That's gotta feel good with Leinster losing everything and the Stormers pub video.

As a Glasgow fan I am against this.
Anyone see the BaaBaas game? Kinda want to see Folau getting booed repeatedly.

I didn't see it, although I did take pleasure in reading that the homophobic dipshit had been roundly booed by the Twickenham crowd.
In other news, rumours about Marcus Smith being bought out of his Quins contract by Racing after the World Cup are gaining momentum.

He's just the poor man's Finn. Not that Racing are poor, but somehow Bath are less so? I strongly suspect they'll go broke after 2 years of funding Finn's super-car and macaroni pie habit.

Crappy news indeed, if true.
Gob Baxter will be happy, though - he's been sounding off all season about wanting a 10-team Premiership.

LIrish have been given a week's reprieve to get the deal in order, which is hopefully pro.ising as I would have thought the RFU would be pretty ruthless this time if there wasn't genuine progress. They have enough egg on their face. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/65751962 |

I suppose the first condition may be a sticking point.

Seems as though the second condition is an issue as well:

It is sounding rather iffy:
In other news, Rhys Webb has retired from international rugby three months before the World Cup, following the examples of Alun Wyn Jones and Justin Tipuric - what the hell is happening behind the scenes to prompt this exodus of Welsh veterans?
