Leedsexile. Malone is indeed open with an offer of a pint and a pizza for a tenner or something like that.

Re: Stormers v Ulster Saturday March 26 1pm (UK Time) Super Sport (SA) / Premier Sports 1 / URC TV (Not in UK/SA)

tis incident was undoubtedly cheating/lying by the TMO. Reid has the ball and the Stormer hits the ball soo it dislodges forwards from him - a knock-on, deliberately so. But the TMO said to the ref that the Stormer dislodged the ball by hitting Reid's arm - therefore a knock-on by Reid - therefore a...

Re: 6 nations 22

If Barnes thought Schoeman's left arm was round the ball, he was living in dreamland!. It was a clear forearm to the face and, in addition, Schoeman actually drove up at him, even though Hendy's knees were bent. Probably not dangerous enough to warrant a red but a cast-iron yellow for me. I remember...

Re: Scrum time

Ireland had four problems - the English scrum was totally illegal almost every time, the French ref got it almost entirely wrong, Dan Sheehan is a (relatively) lightweight scrummager, and Tadgh Beirne is a lightweight lock. So, when Ryan went off, even though Hendy is a good scrummaging lock, with B...

Re: F¥cking disgraceful bbc

the WhatsApp message by Paddy was "there was a lot of spit!" I believe that his message and the context in which it was sent demonstrate an appalling attitude towards women. In addition, I think the whole sorry episode showed that the young celebrity players (not just in rugby) had an atti...

Re: Ulster in the Challenge Cup

On reflection, I feel the big turning point was the Cooney incident. I'm entirely satisfied in my own mind that Nadolo should have been shown a red card. As we hear so often, intention has nothing to do with it - it's the outcome that matters. He kept his arm away from his body and hit/collided with...

He hasn’t played since January, will he have match fitness and not be rusty. It’s taken him a few games in past to go through gears.

Be harsh to drop either O’Connor or Treadwell.
Would like to see the locks retained with Hendy at 6.
