Gutted for you mate - the Mrs has just booked us the weekend away otherwise I'd be all over that!

Good job Exeter. Cracking game!

[Trigbert]

Yep, what a cracking Premiership final, and after the nail biting semis as well. Its been a great end to the season especially for neutrals like me.

[Derek Smith]

Even for those who support Wasps to an extent, the final was one of the best I can remember. Probably the best. I was knackered at full time. A cracker. A real thriller.

[JonChalk]

As a neutral, ever-so-slightly leaning towards Exeter, it was easily the best Final I can remember - I've been to two & I can't even remember which ones now.

It may have even been the best (non-Glos winning) game of the season.

Scarlets!

What a fking game! Credit where it's due they have absolutely destroyed Munner today, they've taken them to pieces. Fantastic!

For me there's a few interesting questions about individuals in the Scarlets squad. Aaron Shingler 6, James Davies 7 and Stef Evans 11 surely deserve a shout at international level. Superb.

Something rather good about hearing God Save the Queen played in Argentina

ARG V ENG is an epic end to end rugby fest!

I'm actually disappointed it wasn't a draw.

Anyone know if USA IRE is on tele?

[hornetrider]

What a try!

[London424]

Jeez some of those guys are young...I don't know if they even shave yet!

[iwantagta]

Great game!

[Kermit power]

What an outstanding game!

That has pretty much confirmed my "can't be arsed" feeling about the Lions.

I was thinking that. Then he scored that try!!!

[London424]

Tom Curry looks like he'll have a hell of a future.

[irocfan]

Now that was some try!!!

However, however - there's a certain chap by the name of Wade who scores equally stunning tries and can defend a lot better.....

Indeed. We have an embarrassment of riches on the right wing (Watson, Wade, Rokoduguni, Nowell, Yarde) and then we're stuck with Jonny May on the left, although thankfully Elliot Daly seems to have recently become the first choice for the 11 shirt.

If I see the name May on the England team sheet before a match I secretly hope that it might be James or Theresa.
