JJBones comes from behind to win the pool with the last match by picking SAF by 4. SAF deserved to win as they out thought and out played NZ. Thanks to everyone for playing.

Pharvey, I'll leave the November Internationals for you to set up. I think it's open already.

Congrats indeed to JJB & thanks to you Pete for organising things!

I'll sort out the "Autumn/November Internationals Tournament" and hope to see you all there!!

Some cr@p refereeing (not just my biassed opinion I might add ),

Weeeelll, try as we might to be objective, it doesn't always work!

Great try by Bath in the 2nd half (I think), I'll give you that. The 2 (perfectly correct) yellow cards probably didn't help.

Can't argue with the cards, but still a few dodgy calls.... And yes, a cracking try! Bath actually starting to play...

I don't see England VS New Zealand. Are they saving it for later for some reason?

We have England vs Tonga in which England can play their 3rd string team.

Leicester vs Sarries

What better way to spend a Sunday morning than watching rugby while munching a bacon & egg sarnie? Not a classic game, largely due to the weather, but well worth skipping to the final 10 minutes.

Didn't see it, but enjoyed seeing Sarries lose. Sounded a tad dour with four penalties for Sarries & two penalties and a (converted) penalty try for Leicester.....

Hoping this afternoon's game between Sale Sharks and Exeter brings a bit more (REMINDER - 3PM DM!!)

All the more reason to catch the last few minutes!

Decent last quarter/ten indeed!!

Sale - Exeter... Harsh Red I think - cracking game!!

Glad you didn't say any more, I'll watch it later or in the morning. I've been watching the wendyball...

Okay, disclaimer: posting while pissed...

I've had a really bad evening, for reasons not worth going into, but as a result, I've watched most of the game while inebriated and the end of it while totally pissed.

However, this does not distract from the validity of my opinion. Indeed, eperkience suggests it probably only enhances it: some of my best decisions have been made when drunk.

The red card (I made notes while watching as I knew I was unlikely to remember... ): no arms, high, direct contact by the shoulder with the chin, reckless, the ref had no option other than a red. That;'s exactly thew kind of tackle they're trying to eliminate.

Essex try by the lock - brilliant! Try of the seasnon.

I was hugelt impressed by Slkade, and equally unimpressed by the referee.

I've given some commentators a hard time, but I like Mullins' style, humour, voice and turn of phrase. In fact, I'm considering asking him if he's in a relationship.

I'd have liked to see Sale get a losing bonus, but Exeter well worth the in regardless of the sending off.

There may be some typos, but frankle, who gives a feck?

Quins vs Bristol. Full game available on the Premiership website. Hugely entertaining game!
