I’d love Katie to win, but can’t see it happening. It’s going to go the distance with very little in it either way. But it’s a Jake Paul promotion, it’s on in Texas and this I think will swing the balance to Serrano. I think Katie will need a KO which I can’t see. #TaylorSerrano

Much talk of revenge, no talk of looking to the future. This is why we can’t compete at RWC’s. Tonight we should have Osborne for Aki, Casey for Murray, Cian Prendergast or Ahern for POM, anyone for Healy, the list goes on. We’re treating this as a Cup final. Why? @CaolanSRugby

Good news in general, although there are certain amendments that could have been made. 👏🏻
