I mean I didn't, but I did pull my punches about it a bit admittedly Saints were the only Prem team in my top 10, as I recall. Bath might have snuck in around number ten but both leagues are silly time now. As I say on the episode, the Top14 is light years ahead of anything else.

Huge kudos to Costelow. Honestly feels like they might as well put a picture of him instead of the badge next to the Scarlets name on the table.

Every single time I check the score of a PREM game I haven't been following my eyes seem to bulge out of my head. At this point it seems more of a me thing than a league thing.

I can see Australia doing it next week. I feel like they learnt a lot from that game. They came out super fired up but weren’t accurate. Tom Wright said after the game they need to learn when to go hard and when to ease off a bit and I think that spot on.

To answer your question:

The infamous game where Beauden Barrett scored 4 tries on his own was an All Blacks domination and they won 40-12. Nobody can argue the Wallabies weren't better tonight than that night, yet the game just gets away from you so dramatically right now.

Australia will be better for that. Emotionally super up for it but off in execution. All Blacks were calm, accurate, and just did the thing they do. Their contestable kicking game was exceptional today.

The Wallabies are not as far off as 50-19 makes it seem. The game is so open and full of tries right now that a game can be tight, as this was at 50-odd minutes, and when one team pulls ahead a bit, instead of it ending 31-19 or something, it ends up being 50.

Lovely to have a single game renew both the "Why isn't Morgan Morris playing for Wales?" and "Why isn't Angus O'Brien playing for Wales?" crusades for another season

Biggest team in the world mate

"Tackles come in but Hope goes on" is the most profound piece of rugby commentary of 2026

I know they need to play some ads to make some money but I'm begging broadcasters give us a second look at a big call like that right on the cusp of halftime

31 minutes and Marika Kooribete is off injured. One touch, one tackle, one miss that led to a linebreak. Not gonna lie, that's exactly what my gut told me was coming from our first star signing in a decade.

Marika Koroibete, playing for the Ospreys, just tried to use his foot to intercept a pass going to Wales international Harri Keddie. I don't know which part of this sentence is most surprising.

WRU: YOU CAN STOP COMPLAINING WE'VE PUBLISHED THE EVIDENCE THE EVIDENCE:

My favourite bit is where the WRU suggest that having fewer teams will lead to more possible minutes for players

In predictably Welsh Rugby news, the WRU's "evidence" data for why the Ospreys or Scarlets should be cut would read exactly the same if it was a load of stats on why all four clubs equally pull their weight and should be kept.

Tomorrow I get to say "Go on Marika" and not just because he's playing against England or something

Really excited about this! The night before St Helen's grand opening, we'll be doing a live show JUST ROUND THE CORNER!
