Waratahs were down to host Scotland but have changed their mind. The official reason is due to injuries/player recuperation.

Cornish Pirates beat Bristol 63-53 on aggregate in second division play-off, despite losing 29-18. 5,500 people in Newcastle breathe a massive sigh of relief.

They best not breathe it too soon. London Welsh have submitted plans to the RFU for the use of four separate grounds that they say meet the minimum criteria if they win the Championship play-off final.

I love it – I’m sure there is a competition afoot to find out which London team can play the furthest from London and still be called London

I think London Irish are winning at the moment in Reading – is Oxford further than Reading from the centre of London, it’s a close call?

Maybe Newcastle should be rebranded London Falcons!

Heineken cup. Should be a great day for South African union. Leinster to win by three penalties and should they play, I expect Sexton and Kearney to stand out.

Shame really, but I had Leinster -7 and Leinster to score more than 23 points so I'm quids in. All Blacks to use rugby league in bid to improve players' skills.
