I realise this is rather dull and repetitive, but we've stuck with them so far, I actually look forward to their results each week!

Nooo
Would be great if you and Knaresborough showed half as much interest in Manchester's rugby league side.

Mentioned this several pages ago, Mancunians RL only play in the summer league and I've shown enough interest to travel to their very nice ground in Chorlton cum Hardy (home of Broughton Park RU) and actually play against them!!

Surprisingly I thought the weakest game of the four in terms of quality was actually Toulouse-Stade.

Sarries' three games at the national football stadium have averaged 40,000 fans compared to the seven Premiership matches at Watford that attracted just 9,000 per fixture this season. Wray revealed that Sarries are looking to leave Watford but ruled out any link with the new Olympic Stadium in East London.

Is he urging the RFU to help the clubs in crisis because they are 20,000 under the break-even figure playing vanity matches at Wembley?

I'm thinking Manchester RU vs Mancunians RL in a cross-code charity match.

Catalancs,

Given your claim of union's massive global reach, why is the new SANZAR deal worth $145 million per country for 5 years (ie. Australia, South Africa and NZ) and the NRL's is likely to be about $1 billion for all of one country for 5 years?

Something smells...
