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.

Four England talking points after they blow it again down the finish

Steward is a defensive liability at the international level.

Dude costs England two tries per game. How many proofs does Borthwick need to see?

France player ratings vs All Blacks | Autumn Nations Series

Just insanely inflated ratings.

At this time we have to assume, that this is a pure troll.

They just want traction under the article, so they provoke. The whole RugbyPass is turning into Ben Smith. Tabloid clickbait, biased nonsense.

Aldritt with the best performance ever?

Dude handed Roigaard an intercept try on a silver plate.

‘We’re in control’: Ardie Savea reflects on All Blacks’ loss to France

What's improved to my eye's is this group has developed a bit of ticker and belief. They've grown tight as the overused cliché goes, and they stay in for the fight until the end. Earlier in the season they were just wilting after the break. And what's pleasing is the number of young guys contributing, particularly in the forwards. It's a good foundation to build on. Yes third is a fair enough appraisal on current form. Though I disagree this French team can't beat South Africa, if they turn up mentally, on their day they can beat anyone. It's consistency that will always plague the French.

This Springboks team still relies largely on vibes

They could easily be 11 from 11 and yet have they once, for an entire match, put in a commanding show?

Missed the games again Wales, Portugal, Australia, Argentina at Bombela?


Our tight victories have come against the best teams in the world. Pretty normal.

Meanwhile Scotland blood a 19yr old as Borthwick ignores all the form backs and forwards. Borthwick's choice of coaches and players has proven to be awful. Ford fails yet is still chosen. Thank goodness Ben Youngs retired or Borthwick would play him.

Rassie Erasmus pinpoints what made the difference in tight Bok win

Tight match a few points:

-England are badly missing Felix Jones. This one was very winnable. Tactics were clueless at the end

-Andrew Brace chickened out of a yellow for SA at the end. SA brought down a driving Maul approaching the SA line. That is a yellow. No ifs no buts. He said to SA "Dont think I wont give you a yellow just because youve a man already in the bin". But that's EXACTLY what you were doing Bracey. England 9point deficit versus 13 and a penalty deep in the SA 22 is a likely winning position. Brace didn't give a yellow because SA already had a man in the bin.

-England are not bad but they need an expert with the analytical capabilities of a Felix Jones.

Four England talking points after they blow it again down the finish

I'll say it again. The England players are really good but they have shown consistently that they are not world beaters in every position. New World Cup cycle. Bring in new side based on young players who can be word beaters in 27. This team won't. Pollock, Fasogbon, Hill, Tizzard, Fitz-Harding for Skipper, Ibitoye, Lesowzki, Kenningham, Tom Willis, Retain the Smits and Mitchell. Current pack is overrated, especially the 4 - 8. You need to be able to defend and carry and be up for the fight. 12 13 and wing channels are one dimensional. If England doesn't change it will be also-rans for a long time.

France outwrestle All Blacks in titanic Test for one-point win

Ramos was responsible for three tries against England and Galthie doesn't learn.

NZ just piled down his channel and the predictable holes from Blue players shoring the vulnerability. NZ managed to easily muscle through this vulnerability to take a HT lead. Ramos sometimes kicks to make partial amends for his defensive ghosts performances. In 2023 he kicked a restart dead with 5 mins to go v SA. Move on please France.

France wand Dupont broke off some of their rust to secure the win, but it was a tighter than it really should have been. Strong NZ forward pack with not much bite to the backs. If NZ don't win the RWC in 2027 they will be 16 years into beating their 24 year drought record. France have so much to improve. NZ tend to only win home RWCs. Sorry Kiwis, I don't see it with this team.

I do understand the preoccupation with Dupont and official/unofficial GOAT status.


Men of his stature are in short supply.
