Not got Sky Bathite?

Not yet fella, appreciate the advice though, bit beyond me, but i'll certainly follow it up! Only got Sky sports 1 at the moment

I'll be able to sort you out when your ready, just installed it for Father in law.

Robson is electric

Robson?

Gloucester SH, playing for U20. Like an English Pretorious

Bloody hell glos like a production line, mills a good player I think. Exeter academy one to watch as well

France look a different beast with Servat in their pack, be a huge loss when he retires.

Great try Cuthbert

Beauxis is bloody awful

Yer Pooly do love JOC, boy can do everything.

I stand by my Sean O Brien comments.....did he even play today?

Did anybody in the Ireland pack?

Ferris was also awful and Heaslip even worse. Hard for a backrow to get into a game when your been smashed in the set piece.

Get in wales!!!!! I am kind of back but will struggle for time till Monday.

Sorry boys, had a busy day yesterday and the day before. And feeling it now.

Anyone up for a deal?

Joe Grey , James Johnstone , Danny Cipriani and Hugo Southwell all available for right deal

Where would you guys improve next? I'm in a bit of pickle, think it's probably another forward that I need

8 deffo

Ok cheers, a full season of Fearns next year though might be a real bonus for me. Might consider moving him to 6

Hasn't Louw being playing 8 a lot lately? McCaw would complete your pack!

Louw played there a bit, but only due to injuries, would be a bit of a waste there i think, such a brilliant flanker. McCaw would complete most packs!

Heard some rumours of the french team retiring? i know servat and nallet have, who else? thierry? bonnaire?

Bonnaire is going to at the end of the year I heard.

Anyone seen the news that Nalaga is considering coming back to Clermont next year?

Servat retiring from rugby.

Bonnaire & Nallet just Ints so far, Bonnaire undecided

Servat taking up a coaching role at Toulouse I believe.

Turned down 3 year playing deal at Toulon, cheers Will.

I have a feeling he may still play a little

I'd probably look at 6/8 depending where you're playing Fearns or in fact where Bath play him. I suspect 6 will be his position.

Wings could do with a tweak as league improves as could LH and Hooker. Be fine for time bring though.

Franks was good signing as anchors your scrum nice as takes away Mears issues in set piece. Nice engine room and midfield too.

Not a fan of Donald in the slightest, think he got a black jersey as a bet tbh. Does a job at this stage but I'd look to replace personally, others may think different. If you hurry and release him you'll get 4m as Int player.

Thanks for all the 'constructive' criticism!

Donald got the shirt as a bet? about 20 times then! Always been a very good super rugby player mate, just a bit maligned as DC's understudy. A great player at this level, shame he picked up an injury, was looking really good just before. Certainly not going to release him!!

I'll focus on back row then for now, got no issues with Biggs Mears and Woodburn.

"I'll focus on back row then for now, got no issues with Biggs Mears and Woodburn"

No mate they're good AP players, I like Mears although he gets a little bit of a bad rep after the Lions tour.

Sorry, no fan of Donald. I've never liked him in the Super 14 either but that's just me.

It's not that I won't rate him but it's an area I'd look to improve to move to that next level.

Ok thanks, easy on the Bath boys now.

Now, who the hell do I go for at 8?

I'm with pooly on Donald, have never rated him, very average player.

Guessing I need to focus on 9-10 to improve and possibly look at a new 12?

Ok lads, got the point, all entitled to an opinion. But not comfortable with people being negative about my team in front of the whole league, not great PR for me!

You asked the question mate, maybe not the best question to ask if your don't want negatives.

I said where should I improve next, not who are the players in my team who you think are s hit!

If you ask opinions on main page, you're going to get opinions mate.

You asked where to improve and 10 for me is an area to improve in the future.

You're building a great side though.

Prop.....post your full strength and standby....

That's more like it, it's nice to be nice; i'm sensitive when it comes to my adopted team. I hope prop is mentally prepared for it!

Team is coming along nicely, next signing could be a game changer. Was thinking about Cian Healy for a while, but concerned that after this weekend his stock will have plummeted!

Can't really think of a 10 I'd like to sign to be honest at this stage

Healy is a great prop imo, would be fantastic alongside a rock like Franks.

My thoughts exactly! Especially with Domingo and Barcella out for so long and Woodcock and Roncero on the way out, he is right up there I think, with Corbs coming on leaps and bounds. (I don't include Oz props!)

Healy wasnt helped by his tightheads. and he was up against a top class scrummager in Cole. so no shame in taking a battering on the day.

always very good in the loose.

I'm tempted to go for a 9 or 10. Tough decision as have Young and Dickson at 9, Robinson and Gopperth at 10, but think could do with one world class half back.

I tend to think you need a top draw player in each combo to really compete. Not at this stage but in a few seasons time it's something to look at.

I think a top 10 is more important than 9 Nick. Cooper/Giteau/Priestland/TD all available.....

Definitely not going for Priestland, think he is overated to be honest. Giteau too old.
TD been off the boil a bit recently.
Morne Steyn is always a reliable option. Cooper or Elton Jantjes are tempting.

Cooper / Steyn the only proven options left really, don't forget about Slade as well though

FTD has been in good form for Montpellier recently. PSA decision to go with Beauxis was utter lunacy. Not sure why FTD seems out of favour with successive French coaches. When he came on in the World Cup final he was sensational.

I like FTD, he does things that I like my 10s to do, takes it flat, not scared to bosh it up in contact, he just needs the right 9 and 12 either side of him and another goal kicker in the side. McAllister is another 10 I was thinking might be worth a punt, still really young, in good form this year, available all year round and an option at 12/13 as well.

Would anyone rate me down if I played Frans Steyn at 10? Might try it out in a cup game

Steyn is decent enough 10, but it's a fair old while since I've seen him play there, so couldn't in all fairness give you full value for him in that position.

Priestland is very overated but is still young and could progress. Not sure if EJ will ever make Int rugby, Cooper would be my shout

McAlister & Steyn much better at 12. Don't think Steyn has the game to play 10 myself

Mac has been good at 10 for Toulouse this season.
good option for 10/12.

Stop talking about Mac! Might be someone's next target

Grey , JJ , Flutey and Cipriani all availible
