    Tries from Rachel Cullum (two), Kennedi Stevenson (two) and Olivia Newsome helped to give the North Americans a 29-7 lead early in the second half at Cardiff Arms Park.

    However, an England side made up predominantly of players who had graduated from last year’s U18s programme hit back with two tries to narrow their deficit to just 10 points.

    Cullum then completed her hat-trick to give Canada a 36-19 advantage, but England were awarded a penalty try and then scored converted try in the closing stages to threaten a remarkable comeback.

    Standing between the Canadians and a perfect Transatlantic Quad Series is a Wales team that beat USA 38-31 in their only match in the tournament so far.

    Fenton became the first woman in history to retain the uneven bars title at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham two years ago, and she has set her sights on Olympic glory in Paris.

    The double commonwealth gold medallist is relishing the opportunity to emulate her hero, Beth Tweddle as she prepares to make her Games debut in the coming weeks.

    But before she headed to the French capital, Fenton met up with Wilmot and Ounsley to discuss her gymnastics career and much, much more.

    Razor has an about turn on All Blacks eligibility rules

    Yep, another problem!


    I think he would have, in the instance I mentioned, which wasn’t changing anything other than correctly applying todays eligibility quidelines. Which is an arbitrary construct, as the deal likely would have played out completely differently, but I just ‘allowed’ him to have 1 year sabbatically for his ‘loyalty’, rather than having some arbitrary number like 70 caps required.


    So if Richie had a 3 year deal, and the first year he was allowed to use him still, I don’t think he’d really not transition to Dmac being his main 10, as he’s obviously the only one he can use for the following two years, therefore likely his only real option for the WC (very hard for Richie to overtake him in such a short time). Richie would purely be a security net in a situation like I proposition where there are only small changes to the eligibility.


    The system is not working well enough though, as we don’t have the Rugby Championship or World Cup trophies, do we? Well on that last question, that’s all I’m really saying but I would not believe a word this author says, so it’s entirely a ‘what if’ discussion, but if the author is right and now they are actually going to be more flexible, I think that’s great yeah. Ultimately thought I think those two players were an anomaly signing their contracts and futures up so far ahead, especially of when they were performing. Both jumped at the opportunity of good contracts when their All Black prospects weren’t looking that bright.
