It does irk me - cricket is the same - that rugby teams seem to be almost penalised for their success. I know many of us on this forum like to knock Surrey (cricket), but they, along with Yorkshire, deserve some praise for performing well every season when it seems most of their squad are absent on international duty. Look how well Saracens perform with so many international players missing at times......and all within the salary cap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris game that Mads is allegedly one of the best paid players in the Prem (and I guess you'd expect him to be fairly well up to speed on who-gets-what) so maybe we might try for Ford next summer if he's good enough for Champion's Cup rugby It could happen definitely, I just can’t see it being a position that we are looking to spend more big money on. Wouldn’t say no to him though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May seem fantastic money to you & I but that was just the weighting. £300k per annum for a part time admin assistant is pretty much par for the course up that London. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is indeed the case, well known about in certain circles how well paid many of the players wives are!

elhombrecito Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Really looking forward to tonight. A few drinks in Clifton after work, and then a taxi down the hill. Should be a great atmosphere. Shame I'm in the Atyeo, but it was all I could get once I realised it was almost sold out!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) I have just realised that Nathan Hughes is playing for Bristol. That is certainly a sign of how far they have progressed. And a very promising debut - a fine try.

PHILINFRANCE Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) I thought Bristol's winger, Protheroe?' looked young, but this latest replacement is astonishing. 18, did I hear?
