Inigo Churchill. Best name I've heard in ages.

Five week ban.

Credit to Saracens.  They acknowledge that he only struck one Chris Robshaw.

5 weeks? Was it bad? Presumably most of the incidents in the world cup will not see anybody return for the rest of the tournament?!

I wonder if there is history between them

Hard to imagine. Robshaw seems to be one of those players that absolutely nobody speaks badly of, which is annoying for those of us who could irritate the Dalai Lama.

How come he looks in significantly better shape than when he was with us?

Agree about last season. Wasn't surprised to see him go but was struck by Sarries signing him. Now he looks 'right' and, apparently, as you say, playing well. Worrying that Sarries could see what we obviously couldn't.

Sarries have got a seriously good Strength & Conditioning team - I assume they have done to Josh what they did to Will Skelton.

If we're going to poach anyone from them, I'd go for those guys.

Who was he scrummaging against?

He started, i believe, so presumably Auterac (Baldwin, Collier)?

I also don't think you can underestimate how motivating a transfer from one club to another can be for someone at the stage Josh is at in his career. He obviously saw himself as somewhat trapped behind Sinck at Quins - and realistically would have been for the foreseeable future - and so a fresh start for someone coming from that kind of situation can be rejuvenating mentally/psychologically - and getting in shape physically follows.

He is the one I'm gutted we lost though.

Oh you are far too hard on yourself, Mr Thrush.
