Great interviews. Super excited to see Jac and Dewi at Gloucester. Not only to get to watch them week in week out but for the potential and passion they will bring, should fit right in at the club. Hopefully they can feel at holm.

There is no debate. Its Finn Russell. From an Englishman

Once upon a time we had an expression: "You never know which France are going to turn up". I feel that slogan has been adopted by Scotland.

I love Finn Russell, but it is very frustrating to hear him answer the q "what do Scotland have to do to improve" just give the same talking points. We've been saying for years "need to back up a big win" etc, yea but how! What is changing or needs to change that makes it more likely?

I guess what more can he say but still

Not even watched it yet but the answer is, Finn Russell.

Too many times I think sale relied on fordy to carry the team, he is only 1 man

145 kg is rather light for his size. I think his legs and lower back make him a good deadlifter. I’m surprised re his bench though. I’m only 85 kg and can do 145 kg for reps.

Best signings,

1. George Martin
2. Tomos Williams
3. Joe Marchant
4. Jac Morgan
5. George Furbank

This isnt a who’s the best player, but who is the best signing and will add the most to each club

Title is Englands best 10s and forgot the best one…

@mickfarrell6458 10 days ago

Finn "Messi" Russell😎

Wrong… Marcus us the only option, different level. Borthwick has destroyed his career…

Fin Smith must be gutted. He had the choice to play for Scotland or England. He backed himself to be England’s #1 and then discovered that he’d play in a team with no clear playing style or strategy and he’d have to share the 10 shirt with multiple other players, never being given the opportunity to be selected consistently. He should have instead selected Scotland who at least have a consistent style. He could have learned from one of the best 10s in the planet, slipping into the role once Finn retires, playing a consistent style, that most would agree looks like a much more fun environment……
