What’s in The Rugby Paper: 17/03/24

As the men’s Six Nations draws to a close find action from Super Saturday and a preview of the women’s competition, getting underway next weekend, in The Rugby Paper this Sunday.

We will be across each of the high stakes clashes taking place tomorrow, with Wales looking to avoid the wooden spoon against Italy, Ireland hoping to confirm back-to-back titles against Scotland, and France and England battling it out to be the best of the rest.

With George North calling time on his career after Wales’ contest in Cardiff, Peter Jackson says he stands shoulder to shoulder with the very best Lions.

Chris Hewett calls for a cumulative weight limit, feeling it may be only answer to a huge problem in Test rugby, while Paul Rees looks ahead to next week’s resumption of Premiership and how the run-in shapes up.

James Harrington looks at the Top 14’s current power rankings heading into the final corner before the sprint to the finish and from the Championship London Scottish back row Jack Ingall discusses the balancing act of semi-professional rugby in the modern era.

As the U20s Six Nations also reaches its conclusion, we sit down with England’s star openside Henry Pollock and ahead of the return of the Prem we chat to another back rower – Lewis Ludlow – about his hopes for club Gloucester.

Pollock’s teammate Olamide Sodeke is our Young Gun, and they’ll be an in-depth report of National Schools Cup final day and a look ahead at Rosslyn Park 7s.

And from our weekly features, former Sale and England flanker Magnus Lund looks back in My Life in Rugby, and Bedford scrum-half Alex Day selects his Dream Team.
