Huge win for the Argies in NZ and well deserved.

Will hopefully temper a bit of the enthusiasm after Irelands series win... the All Blacks are not in a good place!!

It takes a bit of a shine of the Irish results which as you say may not be a bad thing.

Sum win to beat South Africa in Cape Town to make a first ever world cup semi final for the mens 7s team.

A really good performance from Ireland who dominated more than the scoreline indicated.(14-24). McNulty and Conroy are class.

Ireland secured the bronze medal at the world 7s championships today.  That is pretty impressive when you consider New Zealand and Fiji are nearly untouchable at the event. We gave New Zealand a god rattle in the semis.

A similar effort at the olympics in 2 years would net us a bronze.

The Gallacher Premiership is a fantastic product, there are absolutely belters of matches every week, but they are simply spending more money than they are taking in. The sums are very simple.

Even watching top 4 teams playing each other over the past few weeks it's clear the crowds are patchy at best. As a product it is looking less and less viable.

following financial problems for Worcester which are likely to lead to relegation.

See that, but Wasps are one of the big spenders in England, if they can't ride it out with their sugar daddy then what hope have the rest?

If anything it proves that having a salary cap is a check and balance that is definitely needed

Salary caps and similar budgets. US sport is way ahead on this. The soccer premiership is an oligopoly .
Competition should be the focus but usually is not

35 million in debt, English Rubgy gonna fall flat on its face trying to keep up with the high spending French league. Simply don't have the TV money to march salaries as there seems to be more at gaa championship games, a amateur sport.

Truth hurts
