Just for a laugh I thought I'd have a look at 'Match Officials Mic'd Up' - well first up, there are no laughs, god it's dull!

Fascinating Michael Owen wasn't allowed to ask about appointment of Officials process (didn't so obviously couldn't) so no Q about Forest's statement

I've set myself a challenge - to appear on Jim White & Simon Jordan on talkSPORT to talk about rugby union when there's a good news/ positive story to chat about.

It's not going to be today though, we'll be talking Billy Vunipola at 10-15

'the gap between the average price for a women’s match and a men’s match is massive' .... so maybe the men's tickets are too high Bill?? The price for Roses tickets is PERFECT. It's driving numbers - how can a family of 4 seriously afford Β£800? They can't, so they watch the Roses

Bristol have just been denied a try at Leicester for a pass that was, at most, millimeters forward at a lineout. When a ball that goes 2m forward is ok due to the hands going backwards, this just seems peculiar .. to say the least

Interesting phrase by the sideline reporter in the Highlanders/ Force game:
'You go high on him - you're screwed; you go low on him you're screwed'
Thank you very much Oscar Wilde!!

'I listen to Gary Neville on comms and he tries to tell the audience something they didn’t know. I like that approach'

This!!! This is what a co comms SHOULD do, they're there as the 'expert'. I always say the commentator says WHAT'S happened, co comms says WHY it happened

Sorry, can't have this. All clubs have to register their playing squad; if EPCR accept a player to be on the list, then they must be considered good enough to play. Be interesting to know if a player has ever been rejected for registration - I very much doubt it

Imagine having that much depth you could leave Abbie Ward and Emily Scarratt on the bench for a title decider!! But imagine having other players playing that well they couldn't get into the starting line up. Should be a good game this

We're all behind you, Olly β€οΈπŸ–€

Olly suffered a significant knee injury in the victory over Gloucester.

He has seen a specialist and will require surgery, therefore ruling him out for the remainder of the season.

We will provide further updates when possible.

Standby for lots of debate about whether a friendly should count for a ban .. or whether Kata would have played anyway. Please don't tag me in on them ... I'm just relaying the info, and making a prediction!

Dan McKellar felt Solomone Kata's card v Saints shouldn't been been red .. well the player admitted the charge, and has been banned for 3 matches.

* Bristol Bears
* Georgia Black Lion
* Sale - although this'll go if he completes tackle school

As proud dad moments go, this one'll take some beating! 3 years in a row Champions, the last 2 at The Stoop. Such a special bunch of players ... coaches are pretty handy too

Really pleased for Orlando Bailey. You'd have thought that Finn Russell was Bath - yes he's exceptional, but you have to have back ups. Hopefully today ends a lot of talk and Bailey can settle in for as long as they need him

Turnover in your own 22, seconds later you score. This Saints side are outrageous. My metric for analysing teams is: how would you feel if someone gave you a season ticket to watch them every week? If someone offered you one for Saints you'd say 'yes please'
