Hi Stuart, A lot of comment is made about our No 10's. Do our current 9's have the service to give them that little bit of extra time? I think back to Andy Gomersall's quick hands, I like the service of Worcester's Johnny Arr and Gloucester's inexperienced Dan Robson.

after watching3 games this weekend, do you feel like i do that the standard of officiating at the top tier of rugby is shabby to say the least. 2 penalty tries in 1 game one of which should have gone the other way and 1 serious tip tackle not seen and 1 legitimate tackle rewarded with a bemused sin-binning. I have to say im getting a little bit fed up with it all spoiling our great game.

stuart as you as a former player, seem to talk down Bath's performance every time they're featured. yes they desrve criticism, yet Abendanon's 25 sec. try was merely passed over and yet Wade's try was reported as one of the best tries ever seen! To be fair to you, your fellow conspirator Harrison is even worse. He might have a commentary background, but his his knowledge and analysis of the great game is deserving of comment.
