Strewth, mate! Fast Eddie's cash jackpot

EDDIE Jones returned to Twickenham this week as an RFU-made millionaire coach. Jones, who was paid over £700,000 p.a. for most of his seven-year tenure as England head coach, is almost certainly one-of-a-kind as the first rugby union coach in the world to reach that level of remuneration.

Masterful Skelton is the talk of the town

IF Simon Shaw of England was a 20-storey tower block of a lock blessed with penthouse levels of skill and self-restraint, Michel Palmie of France was no match when it came to the tale of the tape – unless we’re talking about his liberal use of orthopaedic strapping, which left him looking like the profoundly unromantic lead in The Mummy’s Curse.

Ireland mustn't copy this breakdown flaw

THE tumultuous happenings in Dublin last week were on such a large scale that it would be remiss not to revisit the two European finals one more time before we set our sights firmly on the build up to the World Cup and then the tournament itself.
