If you want to watch what Jimmy and I thought of England's chances back in 2023 in the semi-final, have a look here. It turned out to be quite prescient I'd say!

The book is filled with other voices who have impacted my view of the sport, chief among them: Bernard Jackman, Glenn Delaney, Geraint Davies, Richard Whiffin, Elinor Snowsill, Sam Davies, @will_owen9, Alex Goode, Nicolas Godignon, and many more!

Sarries would need to score 38pts against the Saints in the next round to overtake Clermont Auvergne who have scored 205pts in five rounds this season, the most since 2000.

It's a high-scoring era!

I think that's smart. Beyond not sign anyone, all they could do this year was sign people who were available, i.e. not many, and hope they'd be capable enough to grab wins and build momentum.
