		<description>What's needed here is some trust and cooperation between the RFU and the clubs.  It's true that the issues discussed above are consistent with the agreement everyone signed up for, but a little bit of flexibility - for example allowing for cup games to count as rest weeks, as EJ had suggested - would go a long way.  The RFU has needed the clubs to be flexible and give a little more in the past, and they have often agreed.  But the current situation encourages all parties to stick to the letter of the agreement, which is not good for either side.  

I hope both the clubs and the RFU reflect on how Rob Andrew's main attraction (I assume, ie there's nothing else) was his ability to build a trusting relationship with the clubs... and that he has failed.</description>

		<description>We use to use Maximuscle and had good results. We now use sci-mentor Nutrition after hearing some great responses from other clubs and i have to say we`ve never look back. They certainly give you an edge when you most need it.</description>

		<description>He still cried like a girl when we beat France in the semi though!

Joking apart though Sea Bass is indeed going to be a sad loss to the Premiership.

You'd have to be a bit of an idiot to not give the man a regular place in any team.....in fact you'd have to be a huge idiot.....in fact you'd have to be Bernard Laporte.</description>

		<description>It will be a sad day for the GP when Seabass moves on.  If only we had an English player with the same determination and grit, and who can imagine what a star such a player would have been in England.  They don't come any harder.  My favourite memory will be the way he faced up/growled at the haka in the 2007 RWC.  Many players over the years have done similar things, but with Seabass you just know it is real, like he really wants to get in there and fight with all 15 of them.  Total legend.</description>
