The RFU has ruled out staging England games away from Twickenham as it was reported that the national squad is set for a bumper new pay deal.According to reports in various British newspapers on Thursday, England players will receive between ￡20-22 million as part of a new four-year deal between the RFU and the?Rugby Players Association.That would ensure the record profit posted by the governing body in the wake of hosting last years Rugby World Cup is passed onto the players. Individual match fees for making Eddie Jones 23-man squad could rise to as much as ￡22,000.RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie was quoted by the Daily Mail as saying: Its just a question of dotting the is and crossing the ts.However, fans hoping to watch their heroes playing in the north of England appear to be set for disappointment.England played their final World Cup pool match against Uruguay in Manchester last October, but while that was a success, the RFU are unwilling to play regular games away from Twickenham.On Wednesday, the governing bodys chairman Andy Coslett cited Twickenhams 15,000 debenture holders as the main obstacle to an annual game in the north.One of the lessons of the World Cup was that the whole country loves the game and gets behind it. But the Union has obligations as well, he said.The financial impact is significant, but its not just the money, we have obligations to a large number of debenture holders, who bought the rights and have underwritten for many years Twickenhams ability to invest in the game and invest in the stadium.The debenture holders deserve respect as well and are key stakeholders. Its a big sum of money because there is no stadium in the north of England with 82,000 seats.Meanwhile,?England will wear jerseys imprinted with poppies in their autumn series opener against South Africa at Twickenham -- with the full support of World Rugby.The Press Association contributed to this report Ray Bourque Jersey .

Throughout the Tour de France, Australian professional cyclist Richie Porte will be checking in. Here is his latest entry, as told to ESPN contributor Rupert Guinness:Stage 17: Berne to Finhaut-Emosson, SwitzerlandIt was a move I had to make if Im going to earn a place on the podium of the Tour de France.That move was my attack within the last two kilometres of Wednesdays 17th stage. I know Ive been saying I feel Im in good form, but the value of that finish in the first of four stages in the Alps adds weight to it.Not that I havent ridden as well in the Tour before. I have, but in different circumstances, especially when I used to ride for Chris Froome (Sky).But this year its different, coming to BMC from Sky to race for myself. That opportunity is why I left Sky after all. I wanted to see how I can go in the Tour as a protected team leader.Wednesdays 17th stage from Berne to Finhaut-Emosson was a day where in that role, I showed I could climb with the best, despite having done it many times while helping Froome.My move near the finish of the stage wasnt planned - it was instinctive really. I set off wanting to drop everyone and finish the stage alone. But seeing Froome as the rider who got across to me was not such a surprise. He is the Tours overall leader after all, and yes ... he closed that gap between us quite easily.But I have to give it to Froome. While once he joined me in my move he didnt offer a turn, he didnt come over to me at the end either.ddddddddddddhen I first looked back and saw Froome there on my wheel - and the yellow jersey - he even said, Look mate, we are taking time. He then said: Good job, as encouragement.Looking back, given our past as former teammates - and even currently, as good mates - I can understand why interest in the two of us being off the front. But he is strong. His team is also clearly strong. The race will be interesting from here on in to the finish in Paris.Which all means the next stage is just as important as what Wednesdays stage was.The Tour resumes on Thursday, stage 18 and a time-trial from Sallanches to Megève.Ill get up as usual - at 8.30am. Then it will be breakfast as usual, followed by a final recon of the course, then lunch and some rest - but no napping. I dont nap well.Then it will be time to head back down to the stage start where I will warm-up for another race of truth.We all know a great ride on Thursday will do wonders to help me make best of the final two days in the Alps before the Tour finishes on Sunday with the final and 21st stage into Paris.But likewise, we all know that in a time trial its eventually up to me to produce that ride.
