Drop goals making a big comeback this year

Hilarious seeing SA lose like that. I love a late drop goal.

On England, yes it’s frustrating they haven’t got the clutch moments right. But I’m seriously impressed in how much they’ve progressed, there’s some real flair in there now and they’ve got potential for growth. Areas to improve, but very impressive.

I just hope they don't try to steal Vesty, Northampton are the best side to watch in Europe and he's played a huge part of it.

This England Roses team is a bit special and it's starting to feel a lot like it did in the 12-18 months before the men won in 2003.

I have mixed feelings on that, I think there are too many teams to make a single tier League and if it becomes 2 tiers how do you split it? After that what happens with relegations and promotions?
