Rugby Union Roundup

Saracens suffered their first Premiership defeat of the season tonight losing 29-20 at London Irish.

The champions cup continued today! (still not convinced about the inclusion of SA teams) What a match Munster V Northampton.

Playing with 14 men for the majority of the game, Munster gave a storming performance - particularly second half - when Northampton actually realised that they were there to play rugby, to hold out in the end.

I have obviously seen a lot of Munster down the years, but I have never seen such a transformation in their playing style as they have adopted and honed under Graham Rowntree (have England missed out here??) Brilliant to watch, and skill levels away from the close contact forward domination they are known for best, completely off the charts. Fabulous match!!

Best wishes to him

It was revealed yesterday that a Consortium led by former F1 boss Eddie Jordan is looking to buy Londpn Irish out of Admimistration.

A notable success for Northampton Saints in the European Champions Cup semi final.
They beat Leinster in Dublin 37-34.
Leinster were heavy favourites going on and had pretty much most of the Ireland national team playing for them. A seismic triumph for Northampton.
