And whilst I am at it. The italian try and win in Cardiff today more than justifies their continuing presence in the six nations.

It’s refreshing to see the game played like that. I laughed when I saw that kid for the first time.

Not a great day for English rugby today. The union women losing the World Cup final in NZ, then the league blokes losing their World Cup semi-final to Samoa. The latter was a good game, but they rather bodged it in extra time.

Not sure why the played it in London (at the Death Star of all places), it's more a northern game still, Shirley?

This is really good news for Wasps fans. A return to the glory days is a very long way off, this is a start though.

They are still going to be a rootless franchise until they go back to west london.

Worcester is a sadder story, as they were the heart of their local community

West?

Think you mean NW London?

It's a sad story for sure, however, not my club...

Well Sudbury is north of the river, but probably more W than NW

I guess part of the problem is that all 4 london clubs are closely located - Harlequins and London Irish at Twickenham, Wasps at Brent and Saracans at Hendon.

But moving them just makes them orphaned franchises like MK Dons.
