Two huge upsets have thrown the Rugby Championship wide open, and you can find reports and analysis from both of those games in today’s The Rugby Paper.
That will be accompanied by views on the big stories in the world of rugby, provided by our usual columnists, Shane Williams, Jeremy Guscott, Nick Cain, Peter Jackson, Brendan Gallagher, James Harrington, Chris Hewett, and Jeff Probyn.
One of those big stories is undoubtedly the Worcester Warriors saga, and we’ll be giving an update on the latest goings on in that situation.
There’s more pre-season matches and we’ll provide reports from all this weekend’s games, as Premiership sides Harlequins, Wasps, Northampton Saints, Bath, Gloucester and Newcastle Falcons are back in action.
Former Newcastle Falcons and Harlequins boss Dean Richards shares his thoughts on where England are at and why Courtney Lawes is such a valuable player for Eddie Jones’ World Cup campaign.
As always, there’s plenty more gossip to be found in Neil Fissler’s Blindside column this week, and Matt Rogerson talks about how London Irish’s new sensation Henry Arundell will need protection from his teammates after bursting onto the international scene this summer.
And finally, Bristol Bears‘ Sam Worsley is our Young Gun, Doncaster Knights fly-half/full-back and former Scarlets player Billy McBryde chooses the best XV players he has played with and against in his Dream Team and former Wasps, Worcester, Cornish Pirates and Esher winger Jonny Hylton is the subject of My Life in Rugby.
