Eggchasing obsessive. Englishman dwelling in the land down under. My most recent ramble is pinned below ⬇️

Should Jamie George start for England? Read my thoughts here: https://t.co/FKwfgvLc4u

@StopJammerTime I agree with you on both points. Watching JG play every week there's no doubt he's the best hooker in the country.

[Jon Melloy @BigRedSportsXV]

@StopJammerTime Don't think you can on Aussie tv. I pay for a site called rugby pass, it's got tv rights for Asia. I then access it through a VPN.

[Jon Melloy @BigRedSportsXV]

@mdpdirks I know. He's got such gas, the speed he showed to score his try was incredible.

[Jon Melloy @BigRedSportsXV]

I could watch Damian Mckenzie play all day long. He's such a slick classy player. #RSAvNZL

[Jon Melloy @BigRedSportsXV]

Yesterday's game between @Springboks and @AllBlacks was immense. The Boks did amazingly considering their performance the week before!

Check out my short match preview for @Saracens versus @WaspsRugby here: https://t.co/QjNa4eZ3zY

@PoplarsPenny @ExeterChiefs Thats good obscure knowledge! I'll remember to consult you in the future over rugby shirt prices!!

[Jon Melloy @BigRedSportsXV]

@PoplarsPenny @ExeterChiefs Interesting I didn't know that. The Lions top was my expensive sports shirt for the year.

[Jon Melloy @BigRedSportsXV]

Im a fan of the new away England kit that has just been launched. But at £95 and just being used for one game I probably won't invest in one

[Jon Melloy @BigRedSportsXV]

@Saracens have announced that Allianz park has been sold out for their heavyweight clash against @WaspsRugby https://t.co/QjNa4eZ3zY

He looked in line to add to his England caps this Autumn, so its such a shame he joins the masses of player injured already this season.

[Jon Melloy @BigRedSportsXV]

I feel bad for @jackclifford93 after his injury in Quins victory over Sale last night. I hope its not another lengthy stint on the sidelines

[Jon Melloy @BigRedSportsXV]

Given other bans, I'm just surprised it's not longer. Chris Ashton received 10 weeks for a far more innocuous incident.

[Jon Melloy @BigRedSportsXV]

Harlequins and England prop Kyle Sinckler has been banned for 7 weeks for eye gouging.

[Jon Melloy @BigRedSportsXV]

I understand his desire to calm expectations but winning at The Rec is a huge result and will have clubs looking at them warily. #Falcons

[Jon Melloy @BigRedSportsXV]

Richards: I'll look at it at the end of the season when there are 22 games in the bag and see where we are then.

[Jon Melloy @BigRedSportsXV]

Richards - "I never, ever look at where we are [in the table] at this moment in time.

[Jon Melloy @BigRedSportsXV]

Speaking after the game @FalconsRugby Director of Rugby Dean Richards was keen not to get caught up in the hype.

[Jon Melloy @BigRedSportsXV]

Falcons v Bath was an incredible game. I've been really impressed by @FalconsRugby so far this season. #AvivaPrem
