Half the England heroes in this team and and been found out, breaking the rules, or cheating! Should be stripped of any titles including last seasons european cup, relegation next season, what an embarassment, makes you wonder why we pay to watch sport sometimes and take an interest, from us getting robbed of our european place in 91 to let a more glam Liverpool back in, after the deaths of 39 people, makes you wonder whats not corrupted!

Saracens will get what they deserve. As to the other...get over it.

Saracens might get what they deserve but Exeter (in particular) and the other eleven clubs WON'T get what they deserve. So it's not quite as simple as "get over it".

I personally do not agree with wage caps - particularly when none of the other nations have them. Are English clubs supposed to operate with one arm tied behind their backs?

Agreed. Rugby is in the absolute dark ages, especially in the UK. We think of World Cup success as a yardstick. It shouldn't be. We should be pissing world cups AND building a far stronger grass roots AND giving our clubs a chance to flourish. But we play against pisspot little countries and rejoice at reaching semis and finals and winning the odd six nations. it's well within our power to take the English game miles ahead of anyone else.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

Pisspot little countries that are miles ahead of england without cheating, munster and leinster winning eupopean cups all the time, saracens get one, by default, should be stripped of it to be fair, its the chelsea thing again but in rugby, and Ireland, Wales and France are better or at least on par with england, Ireland were no 1 in world followed by the all blacks for most of last year!

Saracens are the only team to have won twice in a row - in fact something like three out of four and in four of the last five finals. There is no wage cap in the European Cup/Heineken Cup because if there was then the French teams would not be in it. Edited by ASCPFC (22 Jan 2020 1.52pm)

Ireland and wales, both around 5 million population, on par if not better than england, population above 65 million, i think i rest my case!Its not just the cheating that gets me, its the way you drink it up, turning a blind eye if it suits your cause, sir mo farah, the somalian, sir bradley wiggins, the belgian, sir chris hoye, somewhere in africa i think, but all british,,,,,,and none of them touched a bit of the steroids delivered to their coaches base, all good british athletes, all completely roid free, now saracens, you enjoy it if it gives you a buzz ,nothing wrong with living on fantasy island if it makes you happy!
