Schnozz

Great game by both teams - I was leaning towards wanting Leinster to win, so a bit gutted when Lowe volleyed it up. Enjoyed it regardless.

Good to see the 15 code boys are going to have a minute round of applause at 7 mins, during the Bath/Saints play off final, in memory of Rob Burrows - Dodie and Rob crossed any barriers to unite for MND and to increase the awareness of such a horrible disease

Better still. We have tickets

I thought about getting a ticket, and then I realised there would be people there.

I’ll take TV with a curry any day.

Looks like Saints are really trying to lose this.

FFS.

I had it on R5 as driving 'n' working - Thought Saints did well considering they were playing against 2 teams - Bath and Barth - Where the hell does this Barth thing come from - Matt D was the worse

fretmeister

I’ve never seen a team play so badly but still win a final.

Don’t care though…SAINTS!!!!!!

My season in a reel. 27 grounds, 28700 miles, 202k words, 150 articles.

George Ford out of the Eng tour. Hopefully the two Smiths will step up and deliver, but I suspect Eng will miss Ford's experience. Still, it's good to give the younger players game time.

Steve Borthwick has just named the team to face Japan on Saturday. I have to say, on the whole it looks pretty positive.

Japan could pose a huge banana skin... I hope they get the mindset right. I can only imagine Eddie's smugness afterwards if Japan won!
