England coach Eddie Jones may have talked tough about his squad bringing a “brutal physicality” to this year’s Six Nations, but it was actually France who doled out the punishment during their opening clash in Paris. England were 24-0 down before they mounted a fightback in the second half that saved them from complete humiliation, though defeat was perhaps inevitable after the morale-crushing setbacks earlier in the game.

On the plus side for England, they did have the consolation of winning a bonus point thanks to a late penalty by Owen Farrell. This meant they didn’t end the...

We are getting to the business end of the season. A sudden bad run of results now will derail all the hard work of the previous eight months. Likewise, a well-timed run between now and May, like a 1500-metre runner sitting on the shoulder of his or her rival on the final bend before kicking on for the finishing line, can make all the difference. So which will it be for The Grecians?

Increased Expectations

At the beginning of the season, Exeter City, their fans and players were hoping for, and indeed expecting nothing less than a play-off spot. Signs were certainly good as...

Having accrued decent victories over Gloucester and Northampton Saints, the table-topping Chiefs were undone at the death last weekend as Harlequins secured a 34-30 victory, courtesy of a penalty try deep into added on time.

Despite the defeat, the Chiefs still lead the way after 12 rounds of battle and Head Coach Hepher is hoping that lofty position remains firmly in place...

In this season Mohamed Salah scored the most goals (44 and 27 goals 2018 and 2019 respectively). The reasons why Liverpool FC could have the greatest season ever played by a football club are as follows:

Are there Serious Doubts Regarding Exeter City’s Academy?

Authored by David Banks
Posted: Tue, 03/03/2020 - 10:44am

Matt Taylor, who is the manager for Exeter City has called upon various professionals to see if it is possible to make some changes to the Elite Player Performance Plan. This ruling looks to be killing a lot of lower-level clubs. The main reason for this is because Academy Players are not actually protected until they reach the age of 16. At this point, they can then receive a full and professional contract. The Grecians have seen a lot of youngsters opt for bigger clubs after they leave the Academy but when they do, they receive absolutely no financial compensation. The overall aim of the...
