“Not a bluff” – Joe Marler confirms his retirement date, he doesn’t have long left

Northampton Saints:

Leinster clinched a spot in the Investec Champions Cup final after a tense 20-17 win against Northampton Saints in Dublin.

#1. Curtis Langdon

RUCK 8/10: “The form hooker in the Gallagher Premiership once transitioned his recent performances onto the big stage despite his team falling short. Looks destined to add to his two England caps in the near future.”

Planet Rugby 7/10: “A real tenacious performance that was typified in the first half with a massive tackle on Josh van der Flier. Continued to throw his body into Leinster carriers but will be disappointed with his side’s lineout struggles at times.”

Rugby Pass 7.5/10: “Another top tackler, his defiance was best seen with his drive in the contact to the breakdown where the penalty advantage became the prompt for Saints to finally create that late first-half try chance wasted by Ramm. A galvanizing presence while he was on.”

#2. Fin Smith

Rugby Pass 8.5/10: “Leinster initially had this gem of a youngster all worked out, as was seen with how Ross Byrne picked off his pass on halfway with the Saints seven points down and needing respite. Accelerated down the finishing straight, however, raising his all-round game brilliantly, ending with a crazy tackle count and also landing two ballsy touchline conversions. The future England No10.”

AI predicts the next 20 Six Nations winners, Scotland finally win it

Groundbreaking AI technology has unveiled its jaw-dropping forecasts for the next two decades of Six Nations glory, and the results are nothing short of mind-blowing.

According to the cutting-edge predictions, England is poised to clinch victory in a staggering five out of the next 20 tournaments, while Scotland is primed for a historic triumph, marking their first title since their Five Nations conquest in 1999.

However, the road ahead seems daunting for Wales, as the AI oracle forecasts a prolonged wait until 2041 for their next taste of Six Nations glory.
