Whilst I agree that McLennan shouldn't be a sole scapegoat, he does have to bear some of the responsibility of what's happened during his 3.5 years at the helm, as it was his responsibility whilst...

From Planet Rugby: "Meanwhile, Mako Vunipola announced his retirement from international rugby ahead of the 2024 Six Nations. The loosehead prop has been a mainstay of the England squad over the...
Where do they go? Downwards?
Happy 50th birthday, Burgs!
Happy birthday, TIF
Suspiciously round number!
Or is that a decimal point in the wrong place?
Unfortunately, the Rebels tend to turn up for matches against us
I think that should be Minutes per Tackle, unless Potter was only on the field for 45 seconds!
I think you may be maligning turnips
A few players have played for the Barbarians in Lions warm-up matches either having played for, or went on to play, for the Lions (JPR for one).
Riki Flutey was at Wellington during the 2005 Lions...
I've just been watching the women's test against South Africa at the WACA. I'm all for efforts to improve the pay for women's sports, but, to put it bluntly, women's sports don't generally generate...
Well, he is a scrum-half - it's part of the job description
Does anyone know whether the tickets for this year are like last year (members get an e-ticket for each game which you download in advance) or are we reverting to the use of member's passes? I...
But Moana Pasifika are under the NZ rugby union, so how does that even work?
I, for one, welcome our new Irish overlords.
Now, if you can get her to come down the JB's for a TWF night ...

Hopefully Thrushy gets in his ear about staying around in Perth and life after rugby
In 2018 wasn't there a suspension of the salary cap so that the other sides could sign players cut from us? Mind you, with the way rugby's finances are at the moment, there doesn't seem to be the...
None that I could see. The weekend was all about the Rugby Sevens and you almost wouldn't know that a 15 player version of the game existed.
I think that depends on whether you can get the debt forgiven/forgotten if you re-start.
Was upset (but not surprised) that there wasn't a single word about the Sevens in the Worst on Saturday. They even found room in the Sports pages for a story about Liverpool, but nothing about an...
I wonder what Ryan Louwrens is thinking. IIRC, he was with us when the Force got culled, went to Japan and came back to Melbourne last year, only for the Rebels to be potentially hooked.
I've got $1, if that's any help
A large part of the success of Ireland in climbing the IRB rankings has been down to Ireland's version of centralisation. AFAIK, the four regions run their own affairs, but do receive 'guidance'...
