Tom Youngs cited after Leicester's derby win over Wasps

Leicester skipper Tom Youngs has been cited by independent match commissioner Andy Blyth following last Saturday’s Gallagher Premiership win over Wasps.

The Tigers hooker will appear before an independent disciplinary panel on Tuesday after allegedly punching or striking Wasps’ Will Rowlands in the 53rd minute of the league encounter at Welford Road. 

The independent panel will comprise  Jeremy Summers (chair), with Nick Garling and one other panel member to be confirmed.

Leicester full-back Telusa Veainu had been the star of a dour 18-9 victory.

With the game in the balance, the Tongan capitalised on poor handling from the visitors to run 90 metres and complete a miserable week for Wasps, during which Dai Young stood down after nine years at the helm as director of rugby.

Why the Brumbies are still the best team in Australia

Until they can find a way to enjoy kicking penalty goals as much as they like to convert tries, the Reds will not unseat their Canberra brethren as kings of Australia.

Jacques Nienaber's Galactico recruits are driving Leinster towards a fifth star

I doubt they punched above theior weight RW. I recall we dealt with Toulouse pretty handily in two EPCR semis, winning by 40+ points each time.

Enjoyment can do that for you Fran. If you enjoy your job it’s no longer a burden. And Jordie is plainly enjoying life in Ireland!

Ire are curently struggling to find a THP to replace Tadhg when he goes. SA have at least four huge square fellows of the required standard. Perhaps they can loan one out?😁

That’s the interesting part Jon - it’s always ‘sh*t or bust’ with the Reds and that has some def psychological issues attached to it.


Les did the same at Irish. It certainly produces entertainment and high-scoring games but it also yields plenty of chances for the oppo. Not Test footy.

Leinster used to kick for the corner a lot but they still took the three-pointer when necessary. And I have the stats myself on diff distances from the GL:


Tier 1 matches [2024]


Tries scored from 5m out = 56%

6-10m out = 39%

11-22m out = 10%


So your chances of kicking a goal from inside the ‘box’ formed by the 30m and two 15m lines are likely to be higher.


So there is a questionmark hanging over the Reds policy.

Have England suddenly become a 'lucky' team?

As an accountant, I'm typically cautious with my finances. However, last year, I felt pressure to join the cryptocurrency market, fearing I'd miss out on potential gains. An Instagram ad for CBEX Trading caught my attention, with its professional website, real-time charts, and promising testimonials. A representative named Elena guided me through the platform, offering a $200 welcome bonus. Convinced by their promises, I invested $87,000 worth of Bitcoins.

But when CBEX's website crashed, and all communication channels were severed, I realized I had been scammed. Devastated and lost, I searched for ways to recover my funds. That's when I discovered Morphohack, a reputable crypto recovery service. Their expertise and track record gave me hope.

Morphohack's team worked diligently to track down my stolen bitcoins and successfully recovered it from the CBEX scam. I'm grateful for their exceptional service and expertise. Thanks to Morphohack, I was able to recover my losses. If you've fallen victim to a CBEX/PCEX Scam, I highly recommend Morphohack's services.

The one constant in all of this chaos has been the people on the board making the decisions, appointing Cheika on a one season only deal was a massive mistake and smacked of panic.

The current board clearly aren’t upto the job of running the club in the manner that a professional sports club requires.

Nothing will change until there is a substantial shift in the boardroom set up.

Is Spain rugby's next great superpower?

Spanish people are very passionate about rugby. I have met plenty of them in my line of work and I least expected them to talk about Rugby, more about football or tennis but they love the sport. Many Spaniards have played it at school and its great to see the game growing there.

Why the Brumbies are still the best team in Australia

It is honestly a disgraceful statistic that the reds have not taken a single 3 pointer this season when you consider statistics its hard to believe that. Lets do the maths quickly, you have a penalty from 40 out thats an 80% chance (conservative) for your kicker to get 3 because its in front. Easy come, easy go, you get those 3 points 80% of the time for 2.4 points on average per kick. Even if you dont nail it you start with territory as now its a 22 drop out so you can bring the ball back again. Now instead of taking an obvious 3 you kick to the corner from 40 out. You get the mall 5m out maybe 10% of the time, you get it 10-15m out maybe 50% of the time and 35% of the time your kicker knocks it between 22-15m out. Now stats show when you get a lineout 5m out you score maybe 50-60%% of the time but if you have an incredible mall and you are top of the pile this stat rises to something like 70-80% of the time take Glasgow and Leinster in URC or the Springboks for example. If you are 10m out your likelihood of scoring drops dramatically. Like 60% becomes 20% for example and this is just to get 5 points mind you, there is a 30-40%% chance you will not even add the 2 to make it a 7 pointer. So which is easier and better for you? Sure the game situation matters. If you are trailing by 15 the 3 may not be wise but the Reds have won 5 of their 8 matches this year and are a good team. They have plenty of chances to take the 3 in situations where its easier and logical to do so than going for the try. They have been involved in 3 games that finished with just 1 score between the sides. There have been plenty of opportunities to take 3 they just don’t care for it. No side in Rugby has ever won anything substantial this way. The Reds would do well to remember that and also remember that they will never usurp the Brumbies while they refuse to add a douse of pragmatism to their flair.
