Saints have sacked Jim Mallinder.

No real surprise to be fair, shame but c'est la vie

Leinster doing it the ugly way there against Chiefs, and even I'll admit Healy was very lucky with just a yellow. However, I'll take another win in Europe

He was a bit lucky but it wasnt a horror show.

Bath game was stressful but with an great end result.

Cheap shot and should have been red.

It's a nightmare isn't it. What was he thinking??? Although not his fault yesterday, Kingston won't be leading quins next season..

What was who thinking about what?

Are you sure about JK?

I was at my Rugby Club yesterday. I watched the Northampton v Gloucester game, saw that to the end. They put the Sale v quins score up as 27 - 29. I thought that's a result and went home, then I found out the final score was 30 - 29! What happened?

Quins were breezing it, in control and several points up, and then Marler got sent off for a ridiculous clear out with 20 mins to go. He'll get a long (and deserved) ban also.

He needs to get shot of Easter and get an actual defence coach in. Do that, and I reckon he'll have us comfortably top 4.

I really believe much of the anti Kingston feelings actually come from the fact that he looks like such an unhealthy tub of lard, so people subconsciously think he can't be a good DoR.

After all, when was the last time O'Shea delivered top flight European rugby before he left?

You're right with that!

I seriously began to lose faith in the autumn when he continuely whined about injuries.. same for every team I'm afraid. He should have put the energy into motivating the squad players that were filling the gaps. So inconsistent. We can beat Wasps away from home, but haven't beaten anyone else away from home since March.

Mighty first half from the Falcons !!!!
