Good afternoon and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's live coverage of today's Premiership encounter as Newcastle Falcons welcome Bath Rugby to Kingston Park. After a disappointing exit from the Champions Cup last weekend, Bath will look to bounce back and secure a home play-off spot as we reach the end of the season. A win today for the visitors would put them 2nd in the table. Newcastle will look to put a poor run of form behind them tonight, after losing 5 of their last 6 games in all tournaments. The home side find themselves 2nd from the bottom and will need to secure a win today to have any hope of pushing up the table. Stay tuned for live updates as we await kick off.

Fa'osaliva is way to good to be on the bench for burgess. And deveto is shite, just leave him in the centers and develop his game there

That's a fairly naive view. He's a essentially the Richie McCaw of league, we won the international player of the year. He was signed because of how good he is, just like if one of unions best players went to play league they would be slowly integrated and tested in big games to see how they adapt. to imply he doesn't deserve it is saying that everything he's achieved in league doesn't matter, it's the reason he's here in the first place

And at this point Burgess knew, he fucked up. Send him back to league he is well out of his depth, **** if he wants to play Union so badly at least put him in the league below, the premiership is the pinnacle of English rugby union and people shouldn't be able to just waltz into this where players have worked hard through our academy and county system to get to where they are in my opinion.

Well well well, this could be interesting.

Testing him out at the higher level at 6, it's likely Burgess has had an input on giving 6 a go

What is ford doing w burgess?!
